Gratitude is our attitude in work. An inward attitude of gratefulness of the blessing we have in our life. If you are not feeling grateful I recommend taking inventory of the things you currently have in your life. I can think of a few right now. I am grateful for being alive, grateful for having legs and arms, ability to hear and talk, eyes to see, clothes on my back, warm bed at night and hot showers in the morning. Ability to work, buy food, the country I live in, family, friends and grateful for the future opportunities I have. I hope you get the point I am trying to make, you are always richer than you think you are. The problem we face is we forget these things because they have not been taken away from us and we become familiar with the norm.

I want you to complete the following gratitude exercise using either your journal, computer, paper or your phone, either way. I want you to stop, think and write out all the things you are grateful for in your life right now. Think of absolutely everything in your life big or small that you are grateful for. If you are having a hard time coming up with things, just think about if you lost something in your life right now, what would that be. Let your mind explore, think and write. Stop what you are doing and do this exercise right now and answer the question, “What am I grateful for in my life right now? Write at least 20 things.

How do you feel after writing down the things you are grateful for? Upbeat, positive, mindful, happy? The act of putting your attention on the things you are grateful for should improve your attitude. Because Gratitude is the sibling of Attitude and shares the same last 6 letters ‘titude.’ Cultivate this attitude of gratitude and make it a habit to express thankfulness and appreciation of parts of your life, on a regular basis, for both the big and small things alike.

CREATE A HABIT OF GRATITUDE

We all through life on autopilot never really taking time out of our busy lives to stop and think about how grateful we are to be alive and the life we have. To start bringing more gratefulness into your life starts with forming a new habit. I want you for the next 28 days to keep a gratitude journal, it should take about 10 seconds a day to complete. You can either use your journal, a computer, your phone or a note pad. At the end of the day write down 3 things you are grateful for today. Such as I today I am grateful for hot showers, hot food and a warm bed. Next day, I am grateful for my wife, my kid and my house. Next day 3 more things and so on. The first week is easy coming up with 21 things you are grateful for. Then week 2, 3 and 4 become alittle harder and will require you to think about the small things you take for granted. At the end of the 28 days you can continue the exercise if you like. But what I want you to do is compile the notes a one-page document called the “84 things I am grateful for”. Print this off and put it somewhere where you will see it everyday to remind you of the things you have in your life you are grateful for.
