The Life-ChangingAMP Power of Gratitude…I don’t know about you, but I’m grateful for the things in my life. For example, I’m grateful that my car still starts even though it’s a little rusty. I’m grateful that I have a job, even though it’s not always interesting.
And I’m grateful that I have a bed to sleep in at night, even though it’s somewhat lumpy. You get the idea. So today, I thought I’d talk about the importance of gratitude in our lives.
Because let’s face it, if we’re not grateful for what we have, then we’ll never be happy with what we get. And that would make life pretty darn depressing, wouldn’t it?
I know, I know. You’ve heard it all before. But there’s a reason why peopleAMP keep telling you to practice gratitude every day – because it works!
When you focus on the good things in your lifeAMP, even when they’re small, you open yourself up to more happiness and positive experiences.
So how can you make gratitude a part of your daily routine? It’s simpler than you think! Here are a few tips to get started.
“Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.” —Henri Frederic Amiel.
Gratitude doesn’t have to be saved for life’s “big” things. The habitAMP of being grateful starts with appreciating every good thing in life and recognizing that there is nothing too small for you to be thankful for.
Gratitude is not only about being thankful for positive experiences. Sometimes thinking about negative or difficult situations can help nail down what you have to be thankful for.
Sit down daily and think through five to ten things you are grateful for.
Gratitude is one of the simplest and most effective ways to increase happiness and well-being in your life. When we focus on the good things, no matter how small they seem, we open ourselves to more happiness and positive experiences.
I want you to be as happy as possible, so I’ve devised a challenge.
Ready?
Every day for the next week, try practicing one of the techniques above. And if you slip up (because that’s bound to happen at some point), don’t beat yourself up about it!
Just start fresh the next day and keep on trucking. Are you ready? Read moreAMP

Well, I entered this world in 1955, I've journeyed through it, I've experienced loads of discomfort, taken a few tumbles, even had a butt-breaking incident, and encountered a TBI. In addition, I struggle with feelings of depression and anxiety. But hey, at least I can laugh about it all!
