Gratitude

Gratitude is one of the best ways to empower your life. When you take the time to count the many gifts that come into your life on a daily basis it makes it harder to be overwhelmed by the challenges of daily life. As we move through each day the national and international issues can seem so daunting and when those are added to our individual daily life challenges, it can be easy to allow despair into our consciousness and when that happens we lose some of our personal power which is hard to regain at times if we do not find a way to diffuse the negative energy that is generated by our thoughts and feelings.
It is helpful to keep a small journal on a daily basis which chronicles some of the many things for which you have to be thankful. For instance the things that we often take for granted such as sight, good health, good friends, healthy families, employment, resources that make it possible for us to do some of the things that we enjoy and many other small and large gifts that make life better.
The journal record is good because it can be reread on some of the days when you find yourself needing to remember that life is actually not so bad.
Gratitiude is a tool of empowerment and if you find yourself needed to feel a bit more powerful, try being truly thankful for a few consecutive days and see the difference that it will make in
your attitude and eventually your daily approach to life.
Blessings and peace,
