Next Level Gratitude
Grateful to be enjoying popcorn and Daniel Tiger.
I was annoyed at my coach.
She had just asked “What would you need to want to wake up tomorrow and attack the day?”
I knew it was a leading question.
I knew she wanted me to say “to leave law,” so she could follow up with the question: “Ok, will you leave law?”
I knew I was too scared to, and I didn’t want to face it.
You see, in that moment I tried to think about what else I needed to wake up and look forward to the day, and the answer was nothing. I had everything I needed.
I had a life many would envy. But I wasn’t choosing to be grateful. I wasn’t choosing to be happy.
This was a pivotal moment for me - when I decided I would start focusing on how happy I could make myself instead of how happy the world could make me.
We tell ourselves we want to feel grateful, but do we actually do it?
Do we actually create it?
Jim Kwik asks “What if the only things in your life tomorrow were the things for which you expressed gratitude today?”
There are two big levers we can pull on that can help increase your feeling of gratitude about your life:
Increase the gratitude you feel.
Cut down on your gratitude vampires.
Join us this week as we explore next level gratitude.
And maybe ask yourself:
What is amazing about your life?
What are you grateful for?
