Appreciate And Be Grateful
When you appreciate who you are, you can be grateful for other aspects of your life. These are the aspects that others take for granted, i.e., their health, their family, and their friends.
When you’re grateful, you will attract the right people and things. By contrast, a lack of gratitude can repel others.
Life is short. During the limited time you have, why not appreciate what you have?
Let’s say you have a great family and great friends. Your job is going well.
But you feel you could be making more money.
Wealth is something you can increase if you want or need it. Do your best not to stress over finances.
Doing that could make you lose sight of life’s most important things.
Appreciate the less than perfect
Accept your imperfections. Those “flaws” help you learn and define who you are.
Sure, work on the ones that hurt you or other people. But a wholesale change is probably not necessary.
Change for change sake could take you away from your genuine self. That pretense won’t last long.
Handle the “buzzkill”
Dealing with the world’s negative energy is something you do every day. The effect can be a loss of self-acceptance.
People around you may put you down. Or they won’t accept you.
This can impact your emotional well-being. But you can counter the effects through affirmations.
Affirm who you are and why you appreciate yourself. If someone does a negative beat down on you cancel the negativity with affirmations.
You can interrupt negative thinking if your thoughts slip back in that direction. Think of all you’re grateful for, especially the small but important things.
You shall overcome
The process can be challenging. But you can prevail by using gratitude as a tool.
Do your best to be with people who are grateful for what they have. This will remind you that you’re on the right path.
Grateful people are upbeat. And, well, they just might be more fun to be around!
