It's amazing just how one simple, easy, positive action can transform so much in a person's life.
One of those things that have had the biggest effect on my life is the recognition of the power of gratitude.Yes, merely giving thanks!
It has changed everything. It has forced me to be a more optimistic person, a more prosperous person and a much better achiever. A much better spouse and father and son and brother (at the very least, I love to think so). A happier individual. I'm not perfect; nevertheless gratitude has made me better.
Can it improve your life as well? I can guarantee it. You might not get the very same benefits as I have, nevertheless there is no doubt in my thoughts that the simple act of gratitude regularly will change anyone's life, positively and also right away. How many other changes may claim to be that fast, that easy, and that serious?
Let's check out a few of the methods for you to include gratitude into your life, and how it'll improve your life. These are merely a few examples, based on my experience and also the experiences of other people I have spoke with and not all will certainly apply to your daily life. But select the ones you think is useful for you.
1. Have a morning gratitude session. Take one minute each morning (set a daily routine) to think of those who have done something nice for you, to think of all the things in your lifetime you're pleased for. You won't get to everything in one minute, nevertheless it is enough. And it'll instantly make your day, and help you start your entire day off correctly. Can you imagine a much better use of one minute? You may also send a grateful card in one minute.
2. When you are having a difficult day ... make a gratitude checklist. All of us have those bad days at times. We're stressed out from work. We get screamed at by somebody. We lose a family member. We hurt a loved one. We lose a contract or even do poorly on a project. One thing which will make a bad day much better is creating a listing of all the things you're thankful for. There are usually things to be grateful for - loved ones, health, possessing a work, having a roof over your head and clothing on your back, life alone.
3. Rather than getting mad at someone, show gratitude. That's a significant switching of attitudes - really a complete change. And so this is not easy to do. But I can easily promise you that it's an excellent thing to do. When you get mad at your co-worker, for example, because of something he or she did ... bite your own tongue and don't respond in anger. Rather, take some deep breaths, relax, and then try to think of good reasons you're thankful for that person. Has that person done anything good for you personally? Has that person ever done a great job? Find something, anything, even if it's difficult. Concentrate on those things that make you grateful. It'll gradually improve your mood. And when you get in a good enough mood, show your own gratitude to that particular individual. It will transform your mood, your relationship, as well as help make things better. Right after displaying appreciation, you can ask for a favor - can he please avoid shredding your own important documents in the future? And in the context of your gratitude, such a favor isn't such a hard thing for that co-worker to give.
