A challenge to my students today, during this week of Thanksgiving .........live one whole day this week and speak only uplifting, positive things......you heard me, one whole day.....speak only positive, uplifting things. No whining, no complaining, no saying unkind things about anyone.
They all had that deer in the headlight look on their faces, as a I talked about this exercise in gratitude.
And it is an exercise in gratitude, when you find and speak the positive in everything.........your heart will be full of gratitude.
So if today has been a difficult day, if you can't think of anything to be grateful for, place your right hand on your chest......take a deep breath, close your eyes........think of those you love, think of you friends and family, breathe deeper......and then think of those you love, with gratitude......breathe another deep breath and allow yourself to feel the emotion of love........now, think about living one whole day without saying anything negative, living one whole day speaking only positive, uplifting things. One whole day, yes, it will be hard......really hard, but just try.
Blessings of love and joy, I am grateful for all of you.
