Attitude of Gratitude

G'day all

This week I'd like to talk about giving thanks for all the good things we have in our lives. Now you might be saying hang on a sec Robbo my life sucks at the moment I hate my job, the banks threatening to take my house and my wife/ husband significant other wont talk to me. Whatever it is your going through and believe me we all go through these things to varying degrees and some point in our lives you've still got plenty to be grateful for.

I believe if we don't make being grateful a habit it closes our eyes to many many opportunities and experiences that are out there waiting for us. When things get tough it's even more important we don't get into a downward spiral where all we see is what's going wrong and then the ever present Law of Attraction does it's thing and sends you what you focus on so therefore focus just on your problems your going to get more of them.

That doesn't mean you just think happy thoughts and ignore your problems you still need to deal with life's issues but it will certainly help you get some perspective on your life and realise there is still plenty of good in your world. It will help you leave your private pity party and get on with getting back on track.

A technique I like to use is something I got from Tony Robbins called morning power questions. I have these on my bathroom mirror and first thing every morning before I start my day I ask and answer them and yep you guessed it one of those questions is "What am I grateful for in my life right now?"
I then go on to give thanks for my beautiful kids, my wonderful partner, my health, my business,to live in a free country,for the lessons I've learned you get the picture.

If you haven't tried living with an attitude of gratitude I challenge you to give it a go for 3 weeks and see the change it will make in your life, why 3 weeks well that's the time it takes to develop a new habit. After all what's it going to cost you? Being grateful is 100% free

Until next time have an exceptional week
