Daily Gratitude

Daily Gratitude: What great advice this is. If you spend a lot of time focusing on what you have lost, what good does it do?

It keeps you in the past. It keeps you negative. It keeps you in the scarcity mode. Loss equates to scarcity. That’s one place and mindset you don’t want to be at or in.

If you turn your thoughts and attention to what you have left and start being grateful and appreciative of it, you will have propelled yourself into prosperity/abundance mode. That’s where you want to be as much of your time as possible. The more you focus on prosperity (via gratitude and appreciation), the higher your vibrations. The higher your vibrations, the more you’ll attract good things into your life.

Develop a method to remind you to always stay focusing on what you have. You must nip it in the bud whenever your mind drifts back to thinking about what you’ve lost.

Daily Gratitude: Things are chaotic for all of us right now. Uncertainty can be nightmarish especially for younger people.

One of our responsibilities in life is to take care of others. Often that part of our job description is forgotten. Now is the time to resurrect that skill.

Take an inventory of your friends (and family too). Play detective because very few people will come right out and admit that they are struggling. You’ll probably have to ask lots of questions to sort out what’s going on. But don’t make it an interrogation. Express concern and maybe even talk about how you feel about the turmoil we’re in.

If you can determine that your friend might be having a difficult time, the next step is to administer some “spiritual Tylenol”. What can you do to help reduce their discomfort? Can you visit or call more often? Have coffee or lunch on a scheduled basis? Text or message every day just checking in? Take them somewhere?

Ask them what you can do but phrase it as if it’s for both of you…because it is for both of you.

Remember older people and people without families too. There’s not much worse than being alone in uncertain times. Visits can help them be less lonely.

At the end of the day, check in with how your actions have made you feel….

Daily Gratitude: This is perfect. It’s the best way to guide your actions. It will govern how you will treat others.

But it’s important for you to take the time to think about how you’d like to be remembered. Maybe write out what you want on your headstone and write your obituary.

Then add more specifics so there’s a lot of detail.

Once you have that down, read it at least twice a day for a few months and then at least once a day.

This will implant your desired qualities in your mind. Then take that same detailed list and figure out what that means about how you should treat other people. What is it you should ne doing on a daily basis?

Are you going to be remembered for how well you scrolled through social media? Is that going to he the headline on your obituary- “expert doomscroller”?

Or are you spending time volunteering, writing, teaching (even if it’s your own kids), or helping just one person? Wouldn’t any of those give a better headline?

Do reviews at least on a weekly basis. How are you doing?
