BE GRATEFUL THAT YOU CAN INSTEAD OF DREADING THAT YOU HAVE TO
You know that dread you feel when you know you need to do something
That’s good for you but is outside of your current comfort zone
Whether that’s working out, going to the gym, drinking more water, taking your supplements, cooking a healthy meal, or even waking up to go to work in the morning
That resistance you feel towards setting yourself in motion towards your goals
Can dissolve itself with a simple shift in emotion,
A positive attitude of gratitude,
Instead of dreading the workout, feel gratitude for your body and everything it allows you to experience
The legs that can walk, and run, and dance, and take you places,
The arms and hands that can make beautiful things, and tasty things.
Instead of dreading the time you need to spend in the kitchen cooking and then washing dishes
Be grateful that you have food in the fridge, and dishes to wash, and running water to make it all so easy
Instead of dreading waking up to go to work another day
Be grateful that you get to wake up another day to experience another sunrise, another breath
You have a job to provide for your needs, a job that, no matter what it is, there is someone in the world that would love to have it.
Gratitude will bring you more of what you are grateful for
As you focus on abundance, on having-ness, and not on the lack.
It will dissolve complaints, stress, and the feeling of dread
It will carry you with ease towards doing the tasks and habits that grow you.
And will allow you find joy and happiness is the smallest pleasures in life that are often overlooked in our busyness.
Fill your heart with gratitude as often as you can.
And watch your life change around you to give you more and more of which you desire.
