A Little Effort Writing Gratitude Yields Big Results
Do things you think are stupid but other people swear by. Maybe you’re the stupid one. - Nat Eliason
I fought the recommendation to journaling. Now I know everyone should.
If you want to start small with a journaling habit, start with gratitude.
Here are the benefits you can expect.
Identifying what you have, allows you to focus on what you have.
Gratitude leads to optimism for what you have and what is to come.
You will look for the positive that is in your environment.
Your focus changes to what you can control.
You will realize what you have to look forward to.
Writing two daily statements of gratitude leads to a positive outlook on life.
When I started writing gratitude, I saw the results in 30 days.
The small effort of writing two sentences a day yielded much bigger results than I anticipated. It will do the same for you.
Ask yourself, is having a more positive outlook in life worth writing two sentences a day?
Perhaps Michael J. Fox says is best:
Optimism is sustainable. If you have something to be grateful for, you have something to look forward to.
