New Challenge for December - Are you Ready?

This week we have been talking a lot about gratitude. That got me really thinking about it. Was I doing enough? What could I do differently to really step it up?

Today I set off on the web to look at how other people handle their gratitude. Here are somethings that I found that I would like to implement into my daily gratitude time.

Your time of gratitude should be a time that is uninterrupted to focus on your true gratitude. (I have a bad habit of scribbling mine down while the TV is on.)

If you start a gratitude journal and complete a daily entry - in 30 days this will adjust your focus. (I have to admit I am not diligent about doing mine everyday.)

Listing your worries from the day under what you are grateful for will give you a chance to go back at the end of the month to see that most of what we worry about never happens. (This is a big one for me!)

I am going to divide my pages this month into 3 sections -Gratitude, Worries, and Visualization.

On my visualization section I will list the things that I want to happen or become. Similar to creating a visualization board - however listing it every night will keep it in the forefront & on your mind.

So, for the month of December we are focusing on our Gratitude Journals. It doesn't have to be fancy - a bound book, a spiral notebook - whatever you have will work. Find a time in your day that you can commit. 30 Days - I would love to have a group discussion at the first of January about the changes that working on our journals has made.

Monday's the 1st - Find your notebook now!


Wishing you peaceful thoughts today,
Amy

Quote of the Day
"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude."
