Many of us know that being positive is of much gain than being negative. That being polite is more honorable than being rude, or that loving is always better than hating people. Today I want to share with you a few reasons why it's so much better to choose gratitude than grumbling and complaining. I used the word "choose" because I believe this is an attitude and we can always choose our attitudes. It needs some practice until it becomes a lifestyle, but it's so rewarding when it does!
So, here are some reasons I choose gratitude daily, even when life throws lemons at me, and the benefits I reap:
Would you start today to practice gratitude instead of complaining? You can start simply by writing down at the end of each day 5 reasons you are grateful for, that happened that same day. Try to write 5 different reasons each day. It might seem difficult at the beginning. Choose even the things that seem small to you, like a quiet walk, a phone call from a friend, an encouraging, inspirational word you read on Internet, the fresh air, etc. My life changed completely when I started doing this and I know yours will too!
