My Favorite Daily Mindset Practice: Giving Thanks in the Morning

This practice has the most profound impact on my well being.  

It’s simple. As I start my day, I take a few moments to check in and pay attention to what I’m feeling thankful about – and then magnify my focus on it. Sometimes I have to search deeply and may come up with things like “I am thankful for being in this nourishing space with my loving family." At other times simple things will pop up quickly, like “I am thankful for a new pen that is fun to write with." I do it in a quiet space that easily fits into my routine such as when I first wake up in bed or when I'm driving in the car.  I write down the thing I'm most grateful for in my planner.

By focusing on what I'm thankful for, my attitude shifts into a more positive state.  I stop thinking about the things I want to change and pour my energy into what I love.  In doing  so, I feel joyous, aware, and present. My perspective becomes more open and receptive. I feel more playful. 

I notice that I start my day from a place of inspired action rather than dragging myself through it.  It's fun!
