How Does Feeling Grateful Affect You? How often do you stop and recognize all the things in your life that are right? Most people spend far more time focused on what's wrong. What's wrong with that picture? When you consciously stop, appreciate and focus on the good you feel better. If you need more reason than that; energetically you make space for more good stuff to come into your life. As you tune in to what's right, you're more alert to notice when things are going right. You also decrease stress and all the negative effects it has on your health. Have you ever had a day that starts lousy, you get up late, the dog runs away, your car acts up, by the time you get to work you've reviewed all the things that aren't what you would like them to be and you've decided your life stinks. Then you open your purse and you find a love note your 6 year old left you, the day is instantly better. That's what gratitude does for you. There are many methods to help you adapt an attitude of gratitude.
If you like the written word a gratitude list, where at least once a day you add 5 things to a running list, or a gratitude journal would do the trick. If your more the verbal type, try saying 3 things your grateful for at the dinner table or add naming 3 new things your grateful for that day to your bedtime routine. If tactile thing are more your style try a gratitude stone, find a small stone and put it in your pocket, each time you touch it think of the things your grateful for. This usually results in at least twice a day focusing on gratitude. Women may find it easier to use a key chain. The more you express gratitude the easier it becomes and before you know it you will be grinning just because the sun is setting or because your son actually put the orange juice away. I think it's much more fun to do that than scowl at what isn't 'perfect'....yet. And I'm pretty sure you get fewer wrinkles!
