Are you a person that speaks negative words or thinks negative thoughts about a person or a circumstance or even yourself.  I have a great exercise for you that I have used successfully with many of my clients. 

I want you to stop and think for a moment about the thoughts you have been having recently and the words you have been speaking…have they been positive uplifting thoughts/words or negative destructive thoughts/words?  It is very easy to slip in a pattern of negative words and thoughts .  I am just as guilty.  But the first step is awareness.  Bring your awareness into your thoughts and words.  What are you negative about:   Your job, your parents, your children, your house, your family, your marriage, your finances, your life and why it is the way it is etc… the negative is the only thing you have been focused on, that you haven’t even noticed how actually blessed you really are and all that God has provided for you …the exercise is “A Gratitude List”  Spend time dwelling on and thinking about all the good in your life.  As you sit for a few moments your gratitude list will begin to flow from your heart.   When you begin to focus on the good…the God…in your life you just naturally become more alive…filled with joy.  I encourage you today and everyday to be grateful.  When you find yourself being negative…ungrateful…try to shift your focus to the positive and become grateful.  It is a choice!!
