Truly blessed, and the amazing part is, there's so much more I can keep adding and working on without feeling the need to live to others standards.

I end my day with gratitude every night. For the last 8.5 years, I have kept a gratitude journal and challenge myself to note 5 things for which I am grateful.

It's during times of greatest challenge, that we learn most about ourselves and others. Challenges have a way of bringing out either the best or worst in people.

Negative stress often results where we feel we have to go it alone and the demand exceeds our capacity. Surrounding yourself with a team (whether at home or at work) who have your best interests at heart and will take some of the pressure off you is priceless!

I learned early in life that each of us is here for a reason/purpose. As a teacher, I recognized the signs that were too coincidental to be just ordinary and thus, I appreciated the meaning of many synchronicities in my life that kept reminding me that I had been saved to be of help to other people. Specifically, I learned how to teach children how to swim. When the YMCA Camp horseback riding Instructor fell off her horse, I was asked, age 16, to be the horseback riding instructor. When I graduated high school, I was awarded a 4 yr college scholarship, another synchronicity. As a high school teacher, my life was saved from a horrific car crash. As a hypnotherapist, 2 publishers found me & my Best Sellers! So be grateful 4 synchronicities!

Gratitude just happens. It just comes when we let go of ego, then it becomes so glaringly obvious. We cannot force it. There is nothing to "do": wu wei 無為. Schopenhauer once said: a human being can do what he will but he cannot will what he 'wills'. Catch awareness of your gratitude when it comes to you, and express it, if you can. Being lovingly curious about yourself is the soundest foundation for being lovingly curious about others. Because ultimately, there is no difference.

It's important to practice gratitude throughout the day, not just in the morning and at the end of the day. Each time gives us the opportunity to reset our nervous system and shift our emotional outlook. If we practice gratitude for 5 minutes a day and spend the other 15 hours in a negative mindset, that 5 minutes isn't going to do us a lot of good. I challenge everyone to look for ways to be grateful throughout the day - at least 5 times a day for a few minutes. Notice how you feel in a couple of weeks time!
