Learn the Gift of Appreciation!

“Be thankful for what you have;
you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough”
― Oprah Winfrey

There Is Power In Giving Thanks...

With the winter holidays in the rearview mirror and summer approaching, we begin to tap into seasonal patterns, emotions and expectations. Many of these are filled with positive emotions that expand our energy. And others leave us feeling depleted and less than energetic.

Either way, by taking the time to create a daily appreciation practice you will provide the added energy we can all use during the new season. Appreciation has a magical way of expanding your energy. It opens your heart and shifts you into a positive mindset. It works instantly and on so many levels we never really take time to value.

Appreciation literally makes your brain work better. By expressing appreciation on a regular basis you will feel even happier, healthier and more satisfied with your life. You will make better make progress toward your goals. You will strengthen your mood, memory and emotional control. And, you will be more naturally helpful to others, which makes the world a much better place to live.

• Start by making appreciation a daily ritual!
• Next, write down just five things you can appreciate every day to anchor them in your brain (writing them down reinforces their strength in your brain).
• Then, take action. Appreciate what life brings to you and show appreciation to those around you.
• Finally, Step back and notice how good it makes you feel!

Remember, life can ALWAYS BE BETTER!
