Appreciation Lifts your Mood

I was reading in one of my favorite books:   
Creating Money: Attracting Abundance by Sanaya Roman and this is what she wrote:

"The more you can appreciate the gifts you are receiving while the tide is out, the more rapidly the tide will come back in. Focus on the abundance you have, rather than all the bills."

I thought about this for a few minutes and wondered what was the best way for me get into appreciation. I decided to begin a list of all the abundance in my life and not stop until I reached 100. I began with my husband, my children, my car, my smart phone, my house.  I got up to 50 and figured I might have maybe 10 more things to add. When I got to 75, I knew I must make it to my original goal of 100. I tried to think of anything or anyone in my life that brought me love, joy, beauty or comfort. When I got to the100 on my list I  felt so blessed, so happy, so grateful. Wow! What a great way to begin my day. I was now pumped to make my list of goals for the day and get them done!

I encourage you to do the same when you're feeling a bit discouraged, worried or just need a lift.

Have a great day!
