Three Tips For Expressing Thankfulness Beyond Thanksgiving
”He is a wise man who does not grieve
for the things which he has not,
but rejoices for those which he has.“
Epictetus
As an executive coach, I observe a tremendous amount of negativity in clients. Many of us were never taught how to see difficult situations and events in our world through positive eyes. One of the best ways to create power and abundance in our lives is to adopt and understand the habit of gratitude, even in the most dire of situations.
Looking back on my own life a storage warehouse fire had significant positive effect in my life. At first, it was devastating to see what was destroyed. After some time passed, this event was the catalyst for a permanent move to Arizona where I presently live in joy and prosperity. For more details you can reference my book, Say It See It Be It.
Below are three executive leadership training tips which explain how to create a practice of thanksgiving for every day not just on Thanksgiving Day.
- Make a commitment to start focusing on being grateful for the many things that happen to you during the day (even the difficult ones). It will become a habit that will bring about a new appreciation of your life. In addition it will activate the law of cause and effect which will trigger more positive results in all you attempt. You cannot be a victim of circumstances when you are feeling gratitude.
- Keep a gratitude journal and create the habit of writing in it every day (at least once). The best way is to list 5 things (people/events/situations) that you are grateful for two times a day. This will expand your “heart muscle” and stimulate the continued pleasure with which you see the world.
- Share your life, money time and talents with others. This will involve you in the Divine flow of life as “no man lives unto himself”. The flow is circuitous and will always bring it back to you and more.
Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving and remember to Stand Strong!
