Gratitude is The Number One Tool!

A gratitude list is the number one weapon in the fight against negativity, depression and a whole lot of other mental disorders.  The brain, though it appears very complex, can be a very simple instrument.  It can only truly concentrate on one thing at a time.  Mind you, I said “concentrate”.  It may appear to be having multiple thoughts at the same time, but it is really a series of tiny snippets of thought, just like a movie is really a series of moving pictures that create the illusion of movement.  The mind is creating that same affect.  You can bring your mind into focus by concentrating on the things you are grateful for, until these thoughts bring a smile to your face and your heart is happy!  There is always something to be grateful for.  Being alive, having a roof over your head, food to eat, family, friends, pets, the list goes on and on.  Stop concentrating on what you want, the things you don’t have and spend a little time being grateful for whatever you do have, each day, no matter how little it may be!
