Greetings!
This is a great way to change your perspective on life....I have done it and it's a wonderful way to live each day!
Wake up each morning by making a list of all the things that are good in your life, all the things you are grateful for. You can make a mental list, or write it down in a "Things I am Grateful For" journal...or you can thank God for all these blessings He has always given you...
Here is an example of some things I am grateful for:
My good health, I can see, hear, smell, taste, breathe, walk, dance, swim...
People in my life, great parents & sisters, loving husband, wonderful children, precious granddaughter, pastors...
Free country to live in, beautiful earth to live on, lovely sights to enjoy each day, sunsets, moonlight, ocean...
Income to provide for our family, car to get around in, never having to go hungry or thirsty...
I am also thankful for what may seem like everyday little things, like when our family's schedules permit us to actually all sit down to dinner together, or when a work day is rough and then someone makes you laugh and brightens your whole day...
Many times, even when I am going through a trial or difficult time, I try to be thankful for it. Because I know I will grow and learn from it and God will bring me through it.
If you do this each day, I guarantee that the list will grow longer everyday and soon you won't even remember the things that used to get you down...when you focus on the positive, you cancel out the negative!
When you use all your time and energy being thankful, worry and stress don't fit into your schedule anymore!
Looking at life through thankful eyes seriously changes the way you see things...you will find that there's not much that can get you down anymore!
Enjoy your day and be thankful for all you have been blessed with!
