Gratitude.

How grateful are you? One of my favorite qualities in people is gratitude. I LOVE people who feel joy and immense gratitude for everything around them... They are fun to be around. They are happy. They notice small things. They are peaceful. They flow. Life is much easier for them.

What are you grateful for? Do you ever think about it? One of my good friends, AnneMarie Brown, is the queen of gratitude. And, let me tell you, she is the Pied Piper of her town. People LOVE her. She can draw a crowd at a party like no one else. Even the birds flock to her porch and hang out for hours.. She is grateful for every single one, too. She loves their beauty and vibrant colors and the way they fly around and the way they...well, you get the idea.

People, animals and children are very attracted to the energy that gratitude creates within you. When you feel grateful, you resonate on a higher level. You EXUDE joy. Gratitude is one of the easiest ways to get into a good mood. If something is not going right, simply take a minute to think about everything you are grateful for about the situation...I promise you will feel better, if you do this.

You have a choice every day. TWO choices. You can feel ungrateful/yucky/down on life...or you can feel GRATEFUL/joyful/excited about life. If you are someone struggling with feelings of "yuckiness"..try taking some time to think about what IS working in your life. What are you grateful for? Make a list of 100 things right now.

One of the best "uses" of gratitude is to turn a bad situation around. It is called, "flowing your energy".. For example, if you are having a tough day try to isolate one aspect of they day and flow energy to it. Let's say your boss is a real jack&%$@. You cannot stand him. He is the absolute worst human being on the face of the planet. Whenever he passes by your desk, your stomach acts up. SO, try this. FLOW gratitude to him.. Think about what you are grateful for about him and focus on it for a minute.. Something like..

"I am grateful he gives me freedom. I am grateful he pays me so well. I am grateful he does a great job keeping the company afloat. I am grateful for the extra time he spent with me during training.. I am grateful he respects my opinion and asks me loads of questions. I am grateful he honored me with the new responsibilities, etc."

It can be hard to be grateful for someone you do not like.. But, you can do it. It is virtually impossible to have a bad feeling when you are feeling grateful. So, after doing this exercise you will feel MUCH better about your bad day. Give it a try.

What are YOU grateful for in your life?

Enjoy your week!

Kristin

If you go to the KristinCoach.com website, you will see a "TeleClass" button on the front page...Click on that to read about 2 classes I am offering in August. The classes will be conducted on a conference call line with a small group of others to allow for VOLUNTARY participation. Kind of like a classroom without walls. Wear your fuzzy slippers to my class, if you want.

* The Jacked UP Jump Start - 30 days to get rid of energy drains/blocks and feel much more energetic and ready for changes in life.

* Communicating Like A Coach - learn the communication and listening skills I use to coach my clients. Great class for anyone, especially budding coaches.

I've led these classes before and LOVE the energy and momentum generated on the calls. They are now back by request. Plus, I am thrilled to find a way to coach more of you with these classes. I hope this helps you get rolling...: )
