Feeling sorry for yourself, having self-pity, or
complaining will decrease your mental, spiritual,
and physical health. Try exchanging self-pity with
gratitude and see if you feel a difference.
Change your focus from reflecting
on what is lacking in your life, to
what is good in your life.
Being grateful redirects your focus from what
is troubling or worrying you, to what is good.
Gratitude separates our attitude from our circumstances so that our current reality does not
drag us down.
Being grateful is not just a one day occurrence,
it must be cultivated daily to reap the benefits.
You can choose to say your blessings out loud
or even write them out. Start your day off right,
FIRST THING in the morning CHOOSE to say
something you are grateful for. It will get your
day started on a positive note.
This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and
be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:20
What about you, what are you thankful for today?`
I am Thankful
Allow others to be a work in progress as well as
yourself. If you’re in a continual state of being
grateful for all progress that you and others
make, in turn it will make you happier with yourself and others. Being able to accept yourself and
others, creates harmony and peace.
