Gratitude is an Attitude

1. Stop for a moment. Ask yourself: “Are things really that bad or am I just complaining for nothing?”  Come up with all the good things you have in your life.
2. List all the great things in your life (whether they are small or big things). Make a list of all the great things that you have in your life. Once you start a list of good things about your life, you will start to understand and appreciate of all the great things you have going for you.
3. Start writing a gratitude journal. This keeps you constantly reminded of those things that you feel grateful for. Isn’t God good?
4. Take responsibility for your current situation. Figure out a way to change the part of your life that may be holding you back. Blaming others is never going to solve your problems. Don’t you want your situation to change?
5. Change your perspective. I have noticed many times that something which may seem negative on the outside has a positive side as well. It’s all about changing your perspective to see both sides of the coin. Which side are you looking at?
6. Have a gratitude ritual. Do things that make you happy. You deserve it.
7. Say “thank you”. Gratitude is an attitude. How’s your attitude toward God? .
