BE Grateful\u2026 \u201cFor each new morning with its light, <\/em><\/strong>For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends.\u201d-Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/em><\/p>\n Be Grateful for the Storms that create the Rainbows!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Finding time to reflect on being grateful<\/strong><\/em> everyday doesn\u2019t seem very important compared to all the pressing MUST DOS of the day. But it should be on the very tip top of our list if we want to stay healthy and optimist!!!<\/p>\n Studies are showing that the practice of daily gratitude can cultivate feelings of well-being and happiness. Grateful thinking and expressing feelings of gratitude to others will increase your own levels of positive energy, optimism and loving compassion for others.<\/p>\n These studies are finding that regular expressions of gratitude are opening the heart and activating positive brain neurons. The more these neurons fire, the more they create patterns of optimism & positive thinking in our brains. Gratitude is an electron of vibrations emotions that create feeling well being. <\/span> This allows us to be less stressed, viewing life with a broader, more hopeful outlook. It becomes easier for us to make lemonade out of lemons, and to see the proverbial glass as half-full instead of half-empty.<\/span><\/p>\n Be Grateful for Each Day & the Beauty it Brings!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Think about it\u2026Don\u2019t you FEEL the happiest when you do something that makes someone else Happy? We hunt for the perfect gift\u2026 Why? We go out of our way to do something nice for someone else. Doesn\u2019t that seem strange? Could it be that we are hoping to experience emotions of LOVE & Happiness in the process? Do we want to have those warm, fuzzy feelings we get when we do nice things for others? Is it possible that this drive to feel happy is built into our anatomy? Are you programmed for love and happiness but don\u2019t know it? Is being grateful<\/strong> the shortcut to these emotions of love and happy we so desperately yearn for?<\/p>\n What if you\u2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201d Looked for the good in the Bad, The happy in your sad, And If you did\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe Single greatest thing you can do to change you life today would be to start being grateful<\/strong> for what you have right now!\u201d Oprah<\/p>\n What if you woke up every morning with the single thought\u2026 Something wonderful is about to happen to me, today<\/em><\/strong>? Thank you!!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Now ask yourself\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n How can I be a blessing to others, today?<\/strong><\/p>\n Be Grateful for the Beauty in Nature!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you will function in the state of being grateful<\/strong>, you will change your life.
