GRATITUDE

Today I want to offer some thoughts about how we change negative thought patterns in our life.  The problem most people have is their thought pattern becomes habitual.  We look for and find what we expect.  So, if you expect life to be difficult or problem filled you find exactly whay you are looking for.  On the other hand if you are expecting life to be positive you will see the opportunity rather than the problem.

For  one month make a committment to keep a gratitude journal.   Every day write down five things you are grateful for in your life.  Spend a few minutes reflecting on these aspects of life and try to get in touch with feelings associated with gratitude.  Several times throughout the day recall your focus of gratitude for the day.  Follow this practice for a month and notice whether your habits begin to change your experience.
