Hi,
This is Theresa Conte and welcome to Day 3 of 30 Days of Gratitude to Inspire and Uplift You.
Today's quote comes from Tom Peters.
He says,
Celebrate what you want to see more of.
And now,
A thought to ponder.
Research shows that gratitude lifts our mood,
Strengthens our immune system,
Improves our relationships and leads to greater happiness among many other benefits.
Find something every day to celebrate.
It doesn't have to be anything grand or extravagant.
It can be as simple as enjoying a morning or evening shower,
The smell of coffee as it's brewing,
Or the animals you love and care for.
Now,
I invite you to take a moment to close your eyes and imagine something in your life that you appreciate.
It could be something from your past or in your present.
Be open to whatever it is that comes to mind.
Then notice who you're with,
What you're doing,
And where you are.
Be aware of any sounds or scents,
People,
Animals,
Or other beings who may be there with you.
Let the scene unfold in your mind's eye.
I'll be quiet for a few seconds while you enjoy the scenario.
Notice what it is about the scene that you appreciate.
What is it that gives you cause to celebrate?
Then let those good feelings sink down inside of you like a warm ray of golden sunshine filling you.
Celebrating life's pleasures on a daily basis will fill your life with greater joy,
Meaning,
And purpose.
As Jean Houston has said,
What we appreciate,
Appreciates.
Wishing you a most wonderful day.
