| The Power of Gratitude by Leisa Peach of Advanced Alternatives Massage Therapy | 
|
| Years ago I was taught a tool that helps me whenever business or life isn't going my way. While this is a seemingly simple tool, you shouldn't underestimate the power in it. You can use it anywhere and at anytime, and it will always work to restore your attitude and your perspective. It has the uncanny power to improve your mood and your outlook. And it always helps you generate the positive results you're trying to achieve. Whenever you're in fear (any kind of fear - financial, emotional, professional, etc.), all you have to do is make a list of 25 things you are grateful for.
Your gratitude list can contain many different kinds of items. Here are some of the things you may be grateful for: |
| - Having a loving family - Being blessed with good friends
- Having a job
- Making money yesterday or last month
- Having your health
-Being in a position to help others
- Being able to walk without pain (well, most of the time, lol)
- Having faith in God |  |
- Living in a country where you can do and become anything you want
- Having options to completely change your life
- Having access to great books, CD's and other material to help you accomplish your goals
- Having money in the bank today
- Being able to read
- Being free to act, think and do as you please
- And so many more things.
I'm sure you could add some really great things to be grateful for in your life, couldn't you?
Why it works:
I love writing a gratitude list whenever I'm in fear about business or money. I sometimes forget that I'm not here working "just for me" and for what "I" can get out of it. Rather, I'm here to offer solutions that help others...Clients, Family, Colleagues, Friends, etc. and to recognize how much they help ME.

| When life moves too fast and I get into fear, I can get self-centered and focus on myself. When that happens things never go well. It becomes hard to be creative or take action when I'm only thinking about myself and what I don't have.
But as soon as I write a Gratitude List, something magical happens. Suddenly I remember how full my life already is and my perspective changes. In just a few minutes I transform my perspective, and I remember what I'm here for - to add value to your life. |
Once I've completed my Gratitude List, it's easy for me to take the actions that generate business and abundance in my life, because now I'm thinking about you and how I can help you. It's that attitude that gives me the energy to keep prospecting. And it's that attitude that opens up conversations because people can sense when you're being genuine and want to help.
Hey, life isn't always going to go your way. But when you can stop and appreciate how incredibly fortunate and blessed you already are, and get restored to what your true purpose is, you'll find that today it's easy and even enjoyable to take the actions you need to take to help others accomplish their goals.
And when you can help enough people accomplish their goals, you'll always exceed yours. So the next time you're struggling or just not feeling it, do what I do: Write a Gratitude List. You'll be grateful you did.
