Gratitude

[gigi]

I am grateful to know that Gratitude is the least stress-filled attitude to have. It is most likely the antidote to any stressor.

In Melody Beattie's book Make Miracles in 40 Days, we learn to be grateful for all the seemingly wrong things in our lives.

I've engaged in this practice with other recovering women for a few years now, and I have to say -- It Works!

If nothing else, simply getting the thing I don't like out of the squirrel cage in my brain is helpful. It clears the way for better things to come through.

Also I find it motivating to pay attention when I keep complaining about the same thing over and over; why is this condition persisting and what can I do about it. More often than not, slowing down is my answer.

Not saying it will be anyone else's answer, but it is my answer. :-)
