An Exercise in Gratitude
This is great. I got this from the newsletter that emofree.com sends out. (Emofree.com is a website dedicated to Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Read more about EFT on my website.)
Here it is:
I choose to be grateful...
For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
For my shadow that watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine
For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the government because it means we have freedom of speech.
For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation.
Gratitude helps you to cope with stress and gratitude is associated with optimism and better immune system function. Read all about his in a great article here.
