DECEMBER
DAILY GRATITUDE LIST
Your Challenge for this month: Keep a journal or note pad by your bed. Every morning (right when you wake) or every night (right when you go to bed), write down 5 things you are grateful for from that day. It can be something little like nice weather or a comfortable bed or something big like a beautiful home or a complete, healthy family or it can be a moment from the day like listening to husband and daughter play and laugh. Like I said earlier, when you are in the habit of making gratitude lists, you will soon stop and notice all these nice little things throughout the day. |
