If you start consciously paying attention to your thoughts, it may surprise and frighten you to realize how much time you spend thinking about everything that is wrong in your life and beating yourself up for everything you should have done differently.

I often recommend the following exercise to many of my Life Coaching clients - it's often referred to as the "Attitude of Gratitude" Exercise !

What I suggest is that you take time every day to start focusing on what is good, what you have done right, what you love about who you are and what you have (in fact Anthony Robbins suggests starting everyday with a gratitude exercise).
This may not come easily at first. You can focus the exercise by "working from the inside out", either speaking out loud or silently to yourself as follows.

First, state all of the things you are grateful for, focusing only on yourself. "I am thankful for my health." "I am grateful for my commitment to regular exercise." "I am grateful for my beautiful singing voice." (Or your ability to paint, or your work ethic, or your intellect – whatever you feel are positive traits you have.) Really take the time to think of everything you can. Perhaps you are a brilliant mediator. Do you consistently strive for and achieve high levels of integrity and honesty. Are you kind, a loving mother, a good friend?

Now you are going to expand your circle of gratitude. Move outwards to your family and close friends. Perhaps you are grateful for all your parents did to raise you, or the health and happiness of your brothers and sisters.
Do you have friends that are always there for you – who love you – and make you laugh?

Continue the exercise, just growing the circle wider and wider to encompass everything for which you give thanks in the sphere of your co-workers, then your community, followed by society and even the world.

The fact is, if you do this exercise genuinely, not making things up, but sincerely looking at all that is good, it is literally impossible to come away without feeling happy, positive and truly energized. Imagine what would be different if you truly made the commitment to start your day, every day, this way ! (How about if you started EVERY day with this practice and coupled it with some prayer / meditation time ?)

We can all find things to be grateful for. Once you get started, the floodgates will open and you’ll discover that having an "attitude of gratitude" can actually become a natural state.

I'll make it simple, I'm gratefull for the feeling inside of me. I think I caught it from Mighty!

Awesome! I love reading every word you put down here! You are amazing!

I am blessed and grateful for my life,
for the time I have on this earth and the gift of my loving wife,
for blue skies and cool sunny Colorado mornings,
for those times when I receive a bright smile and good morning,
for family, friends, and big hugs,
for each time I see the world through a child's eyes,
I am blessed and grateful for my life.

-Tony (milehi)

A slight variation to this exercise is to keep a notebook.
If you find it hard to get started, write down some headings ... the easiest ones to begin with are each of the 5 senses ... and begin to write phrases in relation to them - e.g. I am grateful for my sight so that I could see that beautiful sunset, I am grateful for my hearing so that I can hear the laughter of my children whilst they play, I am grateful for my sense of smell - especially last night when in my favourite Thai restaurant, I am grateful for my sense of touch ... etc. etc.

Make the list as long as you like.
Take it out and read it first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
Add to it each time you look at it.

If you're feeling REALLY adventurous, make it into a scrapbook - include pictures of family, friends, holiday snapshots, list of transformation.com friends ... it's up to you !!

Thanks gloomraider, really great advice!!

Today I'm grateful for:

Having the energy to play with little children, and feeling the joy of that.

The forest of luscious trees that is our front yard.

Love, love, love :-) Yippee it feels good to give love, and receive love.
