November is the month where we talk a lot about gratitude. Gratitude isn’t something that should be reserved for one month out of the year. Instead, it should be a daily practice. When you take time to think about all the good in your life, your life literally changes.
So, start making a list every day. Set a timer for 3-5 minutes and just start making a list. You’ll probably start with the normal things: your home, your health, your family, your job, your faith…. Then you may start to transition into other areas of your life that you take for granted – adequate food, clean drinking water, freedom to speak your mind, a working car, fresh air. It might even get a bit silly…. comfy shoes, having your lunch packed for the day. It won’t take long and other things will pop into your mind and before you know it, your 3-5 minutes will be up and you will feel so much better.
Incredible really. And you know what? It feels pretty dang good. Give it a try!
