A Perfect Moment: Embrace Gratitude Imagine living as if each day were a gift. Envision that from the moment you woke up until you hit the pillow at night, your heart was filled with joy, your mind still and calm. Just picture a world without grumbling, a world where everyone is happy and grateful for where they are. Studies show that gratitude is a key component of personal happiness. People who are grateful about specific things in their past, who celebrate the triumphs instead of focusing on losses or bitter disappointments, tend to be more satisfied in the present. Gratitude Practice: Create a list of the 10 things you are most thankful for in your life. Carry it with you or post it on your mirror, on your refrigerator, or at your office. The items on your list will seemingly leap off the page when you most need a reminder of what you are grateful for. —adapted from Living Life as a Thank You (Viva Editions & Cleis Press) by Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons More: |
