When did life become a drag?
Growing up, there was so much possibility… so many dreams…
And then somewhere along the way… well, things changed.
Ever felt that way?
Jill used to be so creative! She would stay up late driven by her latest fancy or creating that just perfect mix tape.
It was her dream to travel the world. Once she took a last minute road trip in our beat up old car… I can’t believe it made it back, but she had a blast that summer!
Yes, it was often silly in hindsight. It wasn’t always the most responsible. But wasn’t there a thrill behind life in those days??
Now it all feels different. With Jill’s marriage sliding into the mundane and her kids creating a black hole for her attention, she lost something along the way.
It was her. It was the dreams she had for her life and the excitement she had for simple joys and silly adventures just for her and her best friend.
Now it feels more like she’s lost the spark. She’s given up on creation. She makes choices more on fear than excitement and possibility.
She takes everything more personally, is a little more nervous, more skeptical, more down.
She went from spark plug to negative nellie…
Sounds exhausting to me!
Time to turn things around
She hit what I call Eeyore syndrome. It happens to too many of us!
Remember Eeyore, the always down in the dumps donkey?
“We’llll nevvverr make it,” he says in his signature dragging, dull voice.
Let me tell you – you will make it.
You’ll make it to your dreams. You’ll make it back to having dreams, adventures, creativity, joy, and excitement for life.
You’ll make it because I know you are enough. You just lost your way a little and need a little helping hand!
We start with the single most fundamental practice that will turn ANYONE’s life and perspective around. Shift your perspective and you shift your life.
Daily Gratitude… Simple, Effective, but few Keep to it!
Yes, it’s a gratitude practice.
This probably isn’t the first time you’ve heard of it, but I hope it’s not the last time you try it!
Gratitude is the secret to turning your outlook around. It is the secret to finding a sense of purpose and excitement. Not just one day, or once and a while. Every day.
It only takes a minute or two to think of what you are grateful for, and really feel that gratitude. Feel the appreciation. Practice it every day.
[Tweet “When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.- Tony Robbins”]
Look, I’m not pulling this out of my toosh!
It is scientifically proven to create a more positive and happy mindset, persistently. Less depression. Less regret. Less “I’m just in one of those moods.”
It is scientifically proven to shift your mindset towards focusing on the positive instead of the negative. There will always be negatives, the happiest and most successful people focus on the positives instead. Again, scientifically proven in study after study after study after study!
So what are you waiting for??
Start right now!
I am grateful for___________________
( Even better, share it with everyone else here » )
Picture what you are grateful for. Think of little things…
- “The way my spouse smiled at me this morning.”
- “The sun filled day.”
- “The sound of that really beautiful bird song.”
- “Having a warm home.”
- “I accomplished this one critical task today that I set out to finish.”
- “I was able to help that woman in the coffee shop when she dropped her purse.”
Picture it and let the moment fill you a while. Feel the positive sensation and appreciation for that one thing. Ignore everything else and focus entirely on that one thing.
Do this day after day and feel the effects build!
But don’t let what you’re grateful for become automatic. Really feel the gratitude each time and challenge yourself to find new little things to be grateful for.
You’ll soon find yourself being..
- More productive and excited
- Healthier
- More accepting of differences
- Less jarred by unpleasant surprises
- Find a calmer mind and more abundance
- Seeing possibility and creativity in your life
