Listen Later

Welcome back for episode 23 of the Coming Out Gold Podcast, Lovie!  Today we are tackling the subject of gratitude.  Many of us focus on this topic around Thanksgiving and the holidays.  I am here to help us see if we would practice it daily our attitude will change.  This will lead to a change in our perspective on the seasons we walk through.

Many women are so mired in the mundane we miss the beautiful moments within them.  It's time we become women who see the magic of ordinary days by focusing on ways to be grateful even in the challenging, messy, and difficult moments.  We want to be fully alive and present in our lives.  Gratitude helps us do that.

The monotony of survival is a roadblock toward practicing gratitude.  Most of us are too busy to be present in the everyday moments.  Our minds are so focused on what’s next, we can’t take in the beauty of each moment.  It is wrong to not practice gratitude for the one beautiful life you are living.

I understand what it is like to be so entrenched in the stress and monotony of every day the heaviness of responsibilities leaves little margin for practicing gratitude. It is hard to chase gratitude when you are busy chasing your tail.

In this episode I will offer this simple process for chasing gratitude:

  1. Bookend your day with gratitude.  Begin every day with gratitude. End each day with gratitude.
  2. Whenever you feel frustrated or annoyed, stop and find something to be grateful for.  It will shift your attitude.
  3. Follow these simple steps to chase down gratitude and find more joy in your life.  They will:

    • Improve your attitude
    • Equip you to find blessings in the broken
    • Train your eye to seek light in the darkness
    • Acknowledge the good work you have done each day
    • Cement positive memories in your mind so you can recall them later
    • Without chasing gratitude, you may:

      • Focus on the problem more than the lesson
      • Miss the moment of light in hard seasons
      • Get lost in the doldrums of each day
      • I can teach you to find gratitude in every season so you keep your focus is on possibilities and off scarcity.  Trust me: this is NOT about toxic positivity. It is about acknowledging reality AND ALSO choosing to be grateful no matter the situation.  Be sure to grab the free daily journal download at the link below so you can get started chasing gratitude today.
