Daily Gratitude: This kind of goes along with the idea of making a bullet list of happy moments. When you wake up in the morning, plan for a happy day. How? By declaring that you are going to experience everything that happens to you in a wonderful light and thank the universe for any and all lessons, or gifts, it’s going to give you today. Remember that things aren’t bad or good, they just are. It’s how we respond and interpret them that will determine our happiness. So wouldn’t it be better and more productive to look at anything and everything that happens to you and say out loud (or to yourself) “I declare it good!” Catherine Ponder taught that many years even before i learned about metaphysics and you may have heard others adopt it (like Jocko Willink’s “good”). When something lasts over decades and is passed down AND adopted, you can pretty much tell that it’s valuable information. So, start today as a new day, declare everything that happens as “good” (practice doing it even with the things that you already deem to be good so that it becomes a habit) and keep track of your happiness bullets.
