I watched this today at the gym. It's about 7 minutes long and it's worth a view! We get so caught up in our routines, efficient life, shortest routes, and "busy-ness" we often forget to enjoy the things right in front of us! :-) This will make you think differently about your daily tasks! Try something new! Be adventurous!

Live a Life Full of Joy

9:59 AM Jackie Mart 0 Comments


 This past week I've been focusing on celebrating the "little things" in my life! Practicing gratitude has been the most important part of my recovery and transition from a divorce, eating disorder, depression, and loneliness to a life full of joy.  When you have something to look forward to it makes life worth living! Every day wake up and be thankful you actually woke up! Each breath you take fuels your very existence. 

This week I celebrated many things. Here are a few examples: went snowshoeing in the sun last Sunday, spent time with my parents, booked two Lunch and Learn Corporate Health Talks, bought fresh yellow daisies to brighten up my apartment, received a bonus from a promotional company I work for, paid off my credit card balance, tried a new recipe, got a free car wash with my oil change, scheduled dates with friends, took a nap when I needed to rest and didn't feel guilty about it!  

Start keeping a daily list of your celebrations and your mindset will shift from negative to embracing the positive!
