In episode 39 - Gratitude is an Attitude and a Practice - I shared that enhanced optimism, better sleep and lower levels of anxiety and depression are a few of the benefits of practicing gratitude. Did you also know that people who practice gratitude experience less aches and pains? That’s a great reason to write, speak or express gratitude regularly.

Enjoy this excerpt from my book called, Be Grateful.

Be Grateful

I say “thank you, God” all day long. I feel so blessed and grateful for my life and the people in my life.

Even when things are not as great as I would like them to be, I’m still grateful for I know I have the ability to move forward.

Do you have all five senses? BE GRATEFUL.

Can you walk? BE GRATEFUL.

Are you able to eat? BE GRATEFUL.

Do you have shelter? BE GRATEFUL.

Do you have clothing for your body? BE GRATEFUL.

Can you read? BE GRATEFUL.

Can you think and express yourself? BE GRATEFUL.

Being grateful has now been scientifically proven to be a stress buster. Grateful people are more optimistic and reap the health benefits of the practice. Cultivate the practice of appreciation and look for what you are learning from your experiences. Simply say out loud throughout the day, “thank you.”

Practice: Do you have clothing, food, and shelter? What about sight, touch, smell, taste, hearing? Be grateful if you do. The next time you begin to feel ungrateful, think of all the basic things in life you have to give thanks for.

Affirmation: I am grateful and appreciate my life.

So, let’s practice. Right now I am grateful for a fresh haircut, divine downloads and a visit from a cute stray dog. What are you grateful for at this moment? You may reply to this newsletter/blog post or you can reach me at [e-mail]. If social media is easier for you to reach out, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn are best.
