“ Today, I invite you to consider the many ways you’ve been fortunate – and write them down in a notebook. Start a gratitude journal. Each day write down five things for which you’re grateful. Jot down how else things might have turned out, since research indicates that writing down how else things might have turned out dramatically increases your gratitude.
Also, let your family members and friends that you appreciate them. Point out one way they’ve made you feel good. When you express your appreciation out loud, you feel it more strongly in your heart.
And smile at someone you see on the street, because smiling makes you feel happier.
Of course, you can only experience one emotion at a time; by expanding your positive feelings you’ll put a damper on any fear or anxiety in your life. Remember: you may not be able to change the environment in which you live, yet you can ALWAYS change how you think, act and feel.
