An Attitude of Gratitude

I have realized in my training to be a certified sage-ing leader that an attitude of gratitude is one of the keys to aging gracefully.  Focusing on what we are thankful for rather than complaining about what is not going our way is a much more positive mind-set. 

In order to instill this point, I have advocate keeping a gratitude journal.  Document everything large and small for which you are grateful.  I also believe in writing letters (hand write not email) to specific people you want to thank for helping you along the way.  Jim Autry, one of the pioneers of the spirit at work movement and author of Love and Profit, talks about how he takes gratitude walks at which time he reminds himself of all of the things in his life for which he is thankful.

Attitude is a choice and we can choose to be grateful.  But we need to make this a habit.  In this busy world in which we live, it is easy to forget about what really is important in life.  I also think the small things can make a big difference.
