Gratitude Journal
I found myself complaining about the littlest things and getting annoyed at myself. Does that ever happen to you? Getting annoyed at own voice? I had to slap my head upside down to acknowledge that I have been blessed with so much and so fortunate to live in the States. The idea did not come from me, rather my girl Oprah who started a Gratitude Journal herself. I wanted certain things for my life, however I need to learn to be thankful in the little things in life. So I gave myself a 30 day challenge which I hope to continue for 60, 90, and etc., to find something that I am truly appreciative of or grateful for. I want to get into a habit of appreciating things.
Today, I am thankful for:
- For my roommate who made me coffee this morning.
- My class at the gym, allowing me to release some stress in the middle of the day.
- My AC at home. It's 104 degrees in NYC today. Thank you for the cool air.
- For the female banker at my gym who made me laugh.
- For Mr. Ted - his consistency and positive perspective.
P.S. The details on this fabulous card pictured above can be found here
Seriously! What a great reminder. I think it's so much easier to complain than to be thankful. :)
ReplyDeleteToday, I'm thankful for fruit smoothies and yogurt (so far).
