—Zig Ziglar

—Jim Rohn

Finding Gratitude in 2020

Practicing gratitude daily creates awareness and appreciation for what we do have that is positive and life-affirming.  It gives us perspective. Gratitude fosters a sense of overall well-being and contentment when we incorporate it into our daily awareness.

And let’s face it, in this day and age of 24/7 access to everything from constant use of our smartphones and social media to cable tv channels and streaming services, we are bombarded with information. Unfortunately, much of this information-overload is negative, chaotic, and disturbing news, images, and drama. This constant bombardment of information, updates, and notifications can negatively impact our health, stress levels, and overall attitude.

Then along comes 2020, with a plethora of challenges and historical events

• COVID-19 pandemic
• Quarantine, shutdowns, 233k+ deaths in the U.S. (as of Nov 6)
• The worldwide economic impact of COVID-19
• Racial unrest
• Climate disasters - Australian brush fires, west coast U.S. fires, hurricane season 
• Historic U.S. presidential election

What we focus on we attract into our lives. So what are you focusing on right now? Is it positive or negative? Does it lift you up or break you down?
