![]() "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, & have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, & an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

![]() Many current studies prove that gratitude makes us happier & healthier! Like any emotion, gratitude can't be forced but we CAN cultivate our thoughts so that gratitude is more likely to arise. Practicing gratitude each day helps create a HABIT and once it is a habit, it will become a positive part of who we are! Challenge: Take one minute each day to write down three things you are grateful for and watch how this HABIT impacts your life in a positive way! ![]() First identify the “most” important action. Then notice: What gets in the way, is our “feeling” We choose to do the things we “feel” like doing – this gets us in trouble!! Good News! We can train ourselves to do what we need to do vs. what we feel like doing. 1st – Notice, and then shift from what we feel like doing, to noticing what we need to do 2nd – Lead with the body – our body is more controllable than our mind Ex. “just show up” exercise – the first step to exercise is to just dress up, “show up” and then do what you want. Show up and take the very smallest steps that offer very little resistance. *You are building momentum that will lead to creating a Habit. I love to think about the power of people! Who supports, encourages & energizes you?
Who is on your team? There are usually about 20 people that we spend most of our time with & the vast majority of our time is spent with just 5. Are the people you spend time with successful, supportive, fun inspirational, energizing? ![]() My Progresses & Successes Today 3 things you have had successes or made progress with. 1.___________________________________________________________ 2.___________________________________________________________ 3.___________________________________________________________ It's always great to celebrate daily wins! |
