Tip 2 to a More Joyful Life

I hope you've taken the time to get to know yourself better and find out what makes your heart sing. Self awareness is definitely the first step to a more joyful life. The second tip I want to pass onto you today is a favourite of mine - and it's to "Live with Gratitude". Too often people focus on what is not right with their lives rather than what is! It's all about perspective! The minute we change our perspective on our life to one of "thanks" our life becomes more joyful. While our lives mightn't be perfect we can still wake up in the morning and give thanks for the bed we've slept in, the roof over our heads, the warm water of our shower, the breakfast we can eat, the car we are driving, the job we have, the people who we love and love us, and on and on and on..... I have a habit of asking myself "what I am grateful for today" every morning. I do this while I'm still lying in bed (it gives me those extra few minutes before I have to put my feet on the floor) and it helps me start the day in a positive way. Again, at the end of the day when I'm back in bed I mentally run through the day and give "thanks" for all the great things that have happened to me. Through focusing on the good things in our lives we automatically attract more good things. Start today to live with gratitude and watch your world change.
