Daily Gratitude: Not a lot needs to be written on this. It’s helpful to do a 360 – turning around and looking at every facet of your life and list the things you’re grateful for in each of those facets. Let’s say you look at the facets of career, love, relationships, emotions, physical, environmental, educational, money, spiritual, family, friends etc. if you’re having issues in one of them, figure out how many are going ok. Get your focus OFF the “bad” thing and ON the good ones

Daily Gratitude: I talked about stepping stones a month or so ago and here it is again. This time focusing specifically on obstacles. The point is to step back and glimpse an overview of the entire situation facing you. From that vantage point see if you can see how the apparent “obstacle” may not be an obstacle after all but simply another part of the path. From that viewpoint you’ll also be able to see a quicker path around or over them. Try this some time and try to see the whole picture. This requires extracting yourself from the sticky webs you have yourself in when this obstacle appeared. Coat yourself with non-stick spray and pull away.

Daily Gratitude: Practice this all the time. Be your own experiment. I have learned to do things I don’t want to do (or think I don’t want to because of fear) in order to see what I can learn. Why? Because I have also realized that everything that is presented to me is there for a reason. There is something to be gleaned from every experience we have. If we ignore or discard any particular lesson, just know that another one will be dropped in our lap. We are here to do and learn. So why not learn as much as we can without resistance.
