But firstly, you’ll need a notepad which I called my Golden Book. I
started with a notepad, and then over Christmas I bought myself a blank hard-
backed book and I now write the most powerful things I find and ‘want’ to
apply into my life in there. I have a book like this for all of my interests; this one
is just for my self- improvement (the Golden Book technique you can find in the
appendix section).
Ok, so now you have to brainstorm all of the things you have that you
appreciate, and you should not have any trouble doing this if you have acquired
the skill of holding 15 seconds positive thought. What I realised was no matter
how good any thought was, I couldn’t think about it for 15 minutes, so I simply
decided to write down enough wonderful experiences I’ve had and then think
about them in turn. It easily takes 15 minutes to think about the 79 things I came
up with. Since doing this I could come up with 100 more easily. I often spend
20-25 minutes, or maybe much more, just reading my list of things I am grateful
for. This is also the beginning of a habit of gratitude.
But if you are struggling to come up with enough you are grateful for
then that’s not a problem. Here are a few of the ones I came up with for myself.
Also when I looked back at the list, out of the 79 things, not one of them was a
material object…a lot of them came from the benefit of riches though!
They are the moments in life when we become present and grateful.
They are your best moments in life.
These are taken randomly from my list,
