Don't Worry- Be Happy

Keeping a gratitude journal is easy. Any kind of notebook will do, as long as you've got lots of room to write and draw what is inspiring you. Writing a gratitude journal can be done in any way that you want. Don’t just think in words. Express yourself with images! Make drawings, use photos, or create a collage.

Focusing on those things in your life for which you can show gratitude replaces the self-doubt and stress that can creep in. When we feel overwhelmed, we can lose track of those things that are going well in our lives. And we start to take certain things for granted.

We forget to be thankful for our good health or the good health of our kids. We forget to be thankful for the wisdom we have that allows us to do well at work. We take our talents for granted. We forget to say “thank you” for the food on our table. And the list goes on.

Now it is your turn. What do you have to be thankful for? Get in the habit of writing every day—even if it is only 15 minutes. Set aside a quiet time in your schedule when you can be alone with your thoughts; a time when you are not rushed, but can let your mind flow with all of your ideas and feelings.
