Daily Gratitude: Huh? What does this mean? It has to do with the thing I hammer home all the time. Your thoughts create your life. What you put your attention on and think about will come about. This doesn’t mean that if you think about something for the first time today that it will happen tomorrow. It’s a pattern of your thoughts. I know you’ve heard of self-fulfilling prophecies and this is the same thing. Once you develop a list of good things, any time you start thinking negatively, you can move to that list, pick something to concentrate on – switching gears. Get your mind focusing on good things. That’s why I recommend having a success list or even just a “happiness” list. This makes it easy to find something without much effort. Then you can more easily switch your focus. Try this for a day or two and see how it works.
