Gratitude

What a beautiful day! 


If you find it  difficult to share this sentiment due to your present circumstances, then just stop and think for a minute.


Clear your mind of all the horrible and scary stuff that may be happening in your life right now and concentrate on one thing that is good. It can be anything at all but it has to be something you feel good about.


Once you have it, smile and just say out loud "thank you for ...." and fill in the space and then write it down in a little notebook or something that you can carry round with you.


The next time you feel really bad or unhappy, take out your notebook, smile and again, say out loud "thank you for..." Then, try to think of one more thing once you have that, repeat the process.


Keep smiling while you write them down and read them out. Remember, some people don't have any sight to read this and you probably do. So say thank you for your eyesight.


The more you do this and smile, I promise you the better your day will be. Keep this up for a month, the better your month will be. Keep it up everyday for a year and guess what?


It really works.


Thank you for reading.


All the very best,


Mark.
