It's taken time and patience to re-train my lizard-brain (the instinctual part that sees danger at every turn) to focus on gratitude, but I've come a long way. There are still moments when life seems overwhelmingly dismal or stressful, but having practiced my affirmations I can turn to them whenever I get that feeling of fear and shift my attention to an attitude of gratitude. Thank you for your work in spreading these powerful positive mindset strategies, Wendy! I appreciate YOU!

Thank you so much. I still get those moments too but when we know that we can shift out focus we can take back control for better feelings. I appreciate you too.

Great post! My daily gratitude is something I heard called futurecasting - Creating a picture of my ideal life in written words, using the two most powerful words in existence - I AM. I took it from Bob Proctor - starting with I AM so happy and grateful now that I AM... Then I record it, and play it back throughtout the day, whenever doubt starts to creep in and show its sorrowful face.

I love the idea of recording your own affirmations, I often recommend this. Futurecasting sounds great. I also like to focus on what I already have in my life that I'm grateful for. I think the combination is powerful. Oh, and I love Bob Proctor.
