One thing that I have learned is that when things get rough, gratitude sure comes in handy. Feeling sorry for myself? Just need to think of a few things I’m truly grateful for. Shitty circumstances? I’m sure there is something in there that I’m benefitting from.
We are wrapping up a class I just taught called The Art of Gratitude and this is one of my projects from the class. When I start thinking of one or two things I’m grateful for, it’s truly like this spiral–expanding, more thoughts added, and no apparent end in sight. What are you grateful for? Try to list 100 things. No apparent order, not overly deep. Just try to list 100 things. I bet you can!
