Have you ever been stuck in a pity party and could not find a way to escape?\u00a0 Back in 2011, I found myself in a hospital bed with bandages where both hands and both feet had been. After my prayer for strength, courage, and faith to get through life as a brand-new quadruple amputee, I had a choice to make.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I could wallow in self-pity, or I could put my big girl panties on, and choose to approach the rest of my life with faith and a positive attitude<\/a>. \u00a0 Guess which route I chose!\u00a0 And if you haven\u2019t figured out yet which method of keeping that positive attitude I followed, keep reading.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do You Do 30 Days of Gratitude?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s very simple! \u00a0 You make a conscious decision to look for blessings every single day.\u00a0 Write them in your journal, and be mindful of when you start to take on a negative mindset.\u00a0 When your thoughts start turning south, stop, pivot, and think of something to be thankful for.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you pivot? \u00a0 I like to use the clicker or TV remote activity. \u00a0 If you don\u2019t like what you\u2019re watching on TV, you grab the remote and change the channel.\u00a0 The same thing applies when you have negative thoughts.\u00a0 The key is to look for clues and catch yourself. Then grab the remote, and change the channel to something more positive.\u00a0 Thinking of something to be thankful for at that moment, will be on the new channel. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why is a Mindset of Gratitude Important? <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Thankful people are happy people.\u00a0 When you come from a place of gratitude, you\u2019re reflecting an abundance and positive mindset.\u00a0 Without that mindset, every negative thing (big or small,) that you encounter could alter your mood and send you into a downward spiral.\u00a0 That\u2019s no good for anybody.<\/span><\/p>\n

But when you focus on thankfulness, you learn to appreciate all that you have and not worry so much about what you don\u2019t have. You also tend to look for blessings during difficult times versus going all \u201cgloom and doom\u201d when the tough<\/a> times hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to research done by the folks at Positive Psychology<\/a>, they found that there are so many health benefits of gratitude.\u00a0 They include things like:<\/span><\/p>\n
