So, when you’re in a funk, or feeling in a stoop and wish that little further increase of gratitude, this episode is for you.
Obtain the present notes right here
How do you react when issues aren’t going properly?
There are two methods to react when issues will not be going properly:

Or you may get scrappy and resourceful, and attempt to assume outdoors of the field for what could be accomplished to vary your present state of affairs.

Creating a gratitude course of whenever you’re in a funk
The advantages of growing a gratitude observe is widespread data. Nevertheless, one of many issues that I realized a very long time in the past is that whenever you’re in a funk and every thing feels prefer it’s crumbling round you it may be very troublesome to acknowledge something that’s going properly.
Due to this, I’ve discovered it extraordinarily useful to develop the observe of writing in my gratitude journal every day.
All companies, together with mine, have cycles the place issues are going very well and at different occasions, now we have to make sacrifices as a enterprise proprietor.
By growing this observe right into a behavior, even when I really feel broke, and that issues aren’t going properly I’m sitting down every day, striving to acknowledge and have gratitude for the cash and alternatives that I do have.
So when you”re feeling in a spot of lack –

No matter it may be, I need you to get to a spot the place you’re grateful for the entire cash that you’ve got ever generated and all the cash that’s in your checking account proper now.
Really feel that sense of gratitude.
Identical factor with relationships. During the last six months one in every of my most troublesome private challenges was working by whether or not the connection with the one who I believe is the love of my life would proceed or not.
As a substitute of getting caught within the story and spiraling, I discovered myself being grateful for the experiences that now we have had collectively.
This relationship has been fully transformational to me. It opened my coronary heart to like once more. I’m now grateful to be on the opposite facet of that hardship.
Staying related to your neighborhood even when it’s not native.
I left my complete life and my neighborhood after I moved from New York to Arizona throughout lock down at the start of the pandemic.
Since transferring, I haven’t made a variety of buddies right here. Though it’s been onerous, it’s jogged my memory how essential it’s to remain in contact with the individuals you’re keen on.
So, what I attempt to do to remain related to my neighborhood is to achieve out to 2 or three individuals every week that I haven’t spoken to shortly.
I both ship a textual content or hop on a fast cellphone name or one thing in order that we are able to join and actually love on one another.
I believe if that is one thing you’re avoiding and also you’re feeling tremendous remoted, the extra you attain out to individuals and really feel their assist, the extra grateful and uplifted you’ll grow to be.
If you really feel supported, you’ll really feel extra grateful
I can not overstate how essential it’s to have neighborhood.
That’s a part of the explanation that I began Flourish and Thrive Academy within the first place.
