gratitude2Want a surefire way to have a great day?

Begin it by listing ten things in your life that you are grateful for.  

A wise friend told me that when I was facing some seemingly insurmountable problems.  At first I thought she was crazy.  The last thing I felt at the moment was gratitude.  But, I tried it.  At first I could only get to four or five things that I was grateful for but within days I was having difficulty stopping at ten.  It’s now become such an ingrained habit that I not only start the day but I also end it by silently making my “gratitude lists”.

A few gratitude quotes to help keep your life in perspective:

“This a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.” Maya Angelou

“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.”  A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

“Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses.” 
― Alphonse Karr, A Tour Round My Garden

The Single Best Thing to Do to Change Your Life for the Better

What is the ONE thing you can do that is guaranteed to make you more creative, more confident, increase your brain power, make better decisions and feel good?

 

Stress Worry Woman with Text on WhiteNo, the answer isn’t ‘have more sex’.  Although that helps too.  NO, the answer is to get more sleep.  Sleep deprivation affects our mood, our ability to focus, our very well-being. Researchers agree that only 30 % of people get enough sleep.  A study in Science magazine said that for the sleep deprived,  an extra hour or two of sleep each night can do more for feeling happy than a $60,000 raise.  Professional athletes, scientists, writers, creative people of all types, are finding that an extra hour– or better yet, two, can have a profound difference on their quality of life. One researcher insists that cheating your body out of the R&R it needs can make you more prone to illness, stress, traffic accidents, and weight gain. He asserts that sleeping will actually do more to take off weight than exercise!”   So resolve to purge yourself of your “sleep macho” habits and give your body the care and attention it deserves.  Start with more sleep.  Experts are proving that getting enough sleep is the single best way to improve your life.  Go for it!!

 

P.S, I am/was a committed sleep macho.  I’m slowly but surely increasing the amount of sleep I get and yes, it is making a difference.  How about you?  Do you get all the sleep you need?  If not, why not?  Let me know!  Maybe together we can help each other.

 

P.P.S.  Arianna Huffington’s new book Thrive has tons of excellent advice.  I’m hooked on it and highly recommend it!
