Oprah Winfrey has long preached the benefits of keeping a gratitude journal. My thoughts on that were - I know what I'm grateful for, why bother to write it down?
I'm currently reading a book, "Build the Life You Want" by Arthur Brooks and none other than Oprah Winfrey. It's not another feel good book, but based on scientific facts, it points out how even when times are tough, you can find things to be happy (grateful) for.
So I tried it. Yes, I know what I am grateful for. But when you write everything down, day by day, you will be amazed at just how much you have in your life that is good. Or another way of putting it, if you concentrate on the positives, rather than the negatives, your perspective changes and you are in better shape to deal with what needs fixin'!
