Counting Your Blessings & Changing Your Focus

Our perception of the world around us creates the world we live in. When we focus on the negative we only give it energy to grow and even invade other areas of our life. You might be surprised to find that you have so many wonderful things that occur in your life daily, that you have overlooked by concentrating on the negative.

For changing your focus I recommend simply journaling the treasures found in everyday life. You don't even need a fancy new journal, a plain spiral notebook will work just fine.

What kind of things should you write down daily? Anything good!

- Receiving a compliment
- Having someone hold the door for you.
- A phone call from a friend
- Something funny one of your kids said
- A smooth commute to work
- Finding or receiving money in any amount
- Gifts and unexpected nice surprises

It doesn't matter as long as you view it as something good. When you shift your focus to the good you aren't just looking at life different, you are raising the positive energy that surrounds you and in turn will attract more blessings each and everyday.
