An unfortunate truth of life, is that it can’t be perfect all of the time, no matter how hard you try. Whilst we may have control of the internal factors of life, we can’t have the same control over external factors which can have a big impact on how we feel and think.
The good news: We can control our own responses. We can control how we show up every day because remember:
A bad moment doesn’t have to turn into a bad day.
There are steps that we can take every day to help us with the ups and downs of day to day life. Methods that set us up for a great day and that we can integrate into our daily life. What am I talking about?
Gratitude
Top four benefits of integrating gratitude into your daily life:
1) Allowing you to REFOCUS on the here and now. Take a moment to sit and take in an appreciation for what you have around you.
2) REFRAME your perspective on a situation.
3) Gratitude INTERRUPTS PATTERNS. Take time to pause and take notice on how you are dealing with a situation.
4) It FEELS GOOD. Let gratitude uplift your mood and gain a better sense of wellbeing.
The more you practice gratitude, the easier it becomes and the stronger the benefits will feel. Get practising and let me know how you get on!
Let’s create a wave of positivity together.
