Gratitude

"Contentment is working within my means with what is available to me, living within my income, being grateful for what I have and not unhappy over what I seemingly lack."

Today and every day count your blessings. Resist focusing on the lack that you feel exists in your life.

It is so easy to go into the grumpy complaining mode. It's basically what many have been shown in their lives. Children learn through what they see and hear. If a parent wakes up angry, grumpy complaining about the day, yelling at the kids then those children will unfortunately pick up those habits.

Begin your day with gratitude and watch your life change.
When you become conscious each morning upon awakening, let your first words be of gratitude for your life. Continue giving thanks for whatever else you have in your life. Not what you want, what you have.

As your day evolves, do your best to stay positive in your thoughts without complaining.
Pay it forward with helpful deeds and kind words whenever possible.

Each evening, give thanks of gratitude for your day. Maybe you didn't get the raise you wanted or something else that you planned on. Look around and within to notice all that does exist in your world.

When your journey presents it's challenges and you slip into dark, depressive places it can be more of a challenge to live in gratitude.

One of the ways I have helped myself through those times is to make sure I have positive affirmations around me, play songs that are inspirational and uplifting.  There are those days when you just want to keep your head under the covers and that is ok. Be grateful for the covers.
