12 Gratitude Tips from Around the Web: Friday Favorites
Coping with Grief : Eleanor Haley
/Hey, did you hear? Litsa and I are on Day 4 of our ’16 Days of Gratitude’, which we’re doing to help us and our readers battle the holiday womp womps. Today I’m grateful I made it through my first session with a personal trainer without passing out. I tried to act all tough and then hid in the locker room for 20 minutes afterwards until my legs returned to their solid form. I’m going to be pretty ungrateful tomorrow when I can’t walk but I guess I just have to keep reminding myself that exercise is good for your physical and mental health…yeah yeah.
Anyway, Litsa and I are not awesome with the gratitude. We want to be, but between work and family and life and stress we just tend to lose sight. So, to help everyone stay on the path to gratitude, today we’re going to forego our usual Friday Favorites and instead bring you ‘Gratitude Tips from Around the Web’. Wheee!
4. Shift your mantras to simply ask for HELP TO RELEASE any fear and anger. [MindBodyGreen]
6. Post words, photos, and objects of gratitude in your home. [Dr. Christina.Hibbert]
- If I am hungry, I make time to prepare or purchase a quick and healthy snack and beverage.
- If I am angry, I temporarily walk away from my stressful or difficult situation in order breath, count to ten, relax and regroup.
- If I am tired, I briefly withdraw for a quick nap or quiet time and rejuvenate from my hectic schedule.
- If I am lonely and feeling isolated, I lift my spirits by making plans to visit a neighbor or friend.

Awesome! We must always be grateful for the things that come our way whether it is positive or negative because it shapes who we are now.
