How An Attitude of Gratitude Creates Altitude in Your life
An overlooked aspect of transformation is gratitude.
We need to be thankful for what we have ...
With no resentments for what we don't.
Meaningful, long-term change happens with small steps.
Be grateful and acknowledge them.
If you couldn't make it to the gym because of your schedule or traffic,
But you did a short workout and/or stretching routine at home…
It’s a victory…Celebrate it!
If you prepared a meal with some vegetables…
It’s a win…Cherish it!
If your goal is to lose 30 pounds this year and you've lost 5 pounds,
Don't beat yourself up about how much further you must go.
Be glad for the strides today that moved you closer to your goal.
Don't sweat the small stuff.
Allow your achievements to inspire you.
And avoid the temptation to be discouraged over some missteps.
In the long run, they’re never as damaging as your perception at the moment.
If your goal is to be a happy and healthy person,
Appreciate a simplified approach to growth.
Where are you fortunate in your life?
How will you channel this momentum into positive actions that move you closer to your goal?
