I've been listening to Brene' Brown's audio book: The Power of Vulnerability". If you haven't listened to or read anything by Brene' Brown, you're missing out. She has one of the most watched Ted talks ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzlF7o
Anyway, she was talking about people who are joyful despite whatever circumstances are going on in their lives. She said that in her research, every single one of them had this thing in common: They actively practice gratitude. It's one of the simplest yet important things we can do in our lives. Each time I'm feeling overwhelmed and stressed out (and I have many reasons to be this way lol), I try to shift my focus to what I'm thankful for in that moment. It may be the tiniest things, but where your focus is-that's where you are. It's easy to get mired down in the day-to-day dregs of life. But there is always, always, always, much to be thankful for.
What are you thankful for today?
