Attitude of Appreciation

Photo by amahra58

No matter who we are or where we are from, there is one thing we all have in common.  We all seek happiness with everything we do in life.  No matter what we are doing, we do it in order to gain pleasure, happiness, or avoid pain and avoiding pain is just another way of seeking happiness.

In our current culture of achievement, it seems that everybody is always setting goals and doing more in order to get more.  It’s always about more more more.  We set goals, achieve them, celebrate and set a new goal.  Read more... (559 words, 1 image, estimated 2:14 mins reading time)

I’m a Failure for Christmas!

I’ve eaten more cookies than I care to admit this last week, and I’ve still kept my weight off.  Have you finished any of your goals?  I finished my challenges and failed at a few of them.  Where are you?

1) Lose 20 lbs by Christmas Day
I did not actually lose the full 20 lbs.  I lost 7 lbs on the scale.  I’m down to my lowest weight of 178 lbs.  and I feel great.  I lost a belt size, and all my pants are looser, and on top of that, I have gained a significant amount of muscle.  So I am not displeased with the results.  Read more...

A Simple Question Can go a Long Way

Yesterday was Gratitude Day!!!!

So I’ve added the Appreciation Exercise to my daily routine.  It’s been very refreshing to wake up and spend just a couple minutes appreciating the things I have and the things that I have experienced.  I’ve also been spending the minimum 5 minutes per night just finding things to appreciate, and that has been a great way to settle down before I meditate and go to bed.  Read more...

Tomorrow is the official Holiday for Gratitude!!!!!

So I’ve been thinking of all the things I have to give thanks for, and I realize, if I really focus on things I am grateful for and things in my life I appreciate, It can become a never ending list.

I’ve been randomly looking for things to appreciate for about a week or two consistently, and now I’m thinking it might be a good idea to just take 5 minutes each morning and focus on things I’m grateful and appreciative for.  Just the fact that I’m breathing is something to appreciate, so I don’t have to look far for that.  Read more...
