Thanksgiving and the Holiday Attitude of Gratitude

In a matter of a few days it will be Thanksgiving . That special day when we gather our families and loved ones together and celebrate all that is good in our lives.

We all have our traditions; watching the parades, the camaraderie of cooking the feast in a kitchen with way too many cooks in it and visits from friends to toast the season and share some pie. For most of us it’s a special day filled with families, loved ones, pleasant thoughts and warm feelings of gratitude.

Practicing gratitude has long been known as a key to happiness. Study after study shows those who are in the habit of giving thanks for all they have on a regular basis have more positive attitudes and achieve greater success in their personal and professional lives as well as better health.

Given all the benefits why is it we can’t seem to maintain these feelings throughout the year? Wouldn’t it be nice to bottle these feelings and take a small dose of it daily?

Well actually that is not as farfetched as it sounds. By making a few small changes in the way we look at things and committing to putting more emphasis on the ‘good’ that occurs in our daily lives we all have the opportunity to sustain a more positive outlook and attitude. It’s simply a matter of practice and creating a new habit.

There are many things in each of our days to be grateful for if we only take the time and effort to look for them. Here are a 3 easy ways to help you get in the habit of noticing them:

1)    The Gratitude Journal: This is not a new concept but I believe it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference in our lives. Pick up a little notebook and make small daily lists of the things you are grateful for. It can be as simple as receiving an unexpected phone call from an old friend to someone who supported you at a time when you needed help. This doesn’t mean your day will be perfect. But if you take the time to look for the good things that occur there are far more of them in your day than the momentary problems you might encounter. Keep this where you can see it and it will remind you to think positively.

2)    The Rewrite Strategy: There are times when we may be going through a particularly trying time and we may find it difficult to find the positive in a daily way. As we hurry through our day and duties it is easy not to notice our negative statements. This exercise is a great way to become more aware of what we are saying to ourselves and others. Try this! It’s a great way to shift your attitude!

1. Take a sheet of paper or you can do this on a page of your journal if you are keeping one and draw a line down the center of the page to make two columns.
2. During the day write down any negative statements you find yourself making on one side of the column.
3. At the end of the day on the other side of the column rewrite each of the negative statements into a positive statement.

3)    Appreciation Token: Nothing is as rewarding as extending a kind gesture to someone, particularly if it is unexpected. Here’s a really FUN and AFFORDABLE ($5.00!) way to give thanks and spread gratitude. I discovered this site and just had to share it!

http://www.tofa.us/ Spread gratitude and appreciation in the world with this trackable gratitude coin. A token of appreciation that simply says “Thank you for making a difference in my day”.

There are many things to be grateful for: the first cup of coffee in the morning, slipping your feet into well worn slippers after a long day, people who love you no matter what, grandchildren who squeal with delight and jump into your arms when they see you, a long chat with an old friend, the opportunity to help someone who needs it without being asked, chocolate covered almonds, pets who warm your life…always and unconditionally, hitting every green light when your late, leisurely watching a sunset, fresh cut flowers, laughter.

Gratitude is taking the time to notice what is special in the most common of occurrences and then taking the time to appreciate it. What’s on your list?

 

P.S. If you think sunshine brings you happiness, then you haven’t danced in the rain. ~unknown~

By the way…the 21 day Attitude Adjustment Course is NOW on SALE - HALF PRICE!

That’s what I’m talkin about…

“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?”

 

–Satchel Paige

I couldn’t resist. I saw this attractive ‘mature’ couple coming out of a retirement center. They walked out the front door and hopped onto this Way Cool Motorcycle and off they went. I wish I could have taken a better picture but they were movin way too fast. The front of this motorcycle looked like some sort of a vintage car?? Check out those tires and, I think they are called rims. Love it.

Inspiring, isn’t it? So how old do you think you are?

P.S. I’ve been working on something new and fun and I’m really looking forward to sharing it with you! I’ll be ‘unveiling’  it soon but in the mean time…

 Have an Amazing Day!!

Weekly Success Tip

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.”

~Marilyn Monroe~

Learn when to let go!

There is a difference between a Challenge and Futility. One is invigorating and the other is depleting. If you find yourself consistently lacking time, money, energy, joy or inspiration chances are good something in your life is not working for you and it might be time to let go and discover what is right for you. Sometimes we get so focused on trying to succeed we fail to realize there might be a reason something isn’t working! Here is a little exercise to help you turn on the lights!

Exercise: What’s Your Satisfaction Temperature?

Take some quiet time in a place where you are comfortable and not likely to be interrupted. On a sheet of paper write the following questions down and on a scale of 1-10, one being completely unsatisfied and 10 being perfectly content, place your score beneath each question. Put a little thought into the questions and be as honest with yourself as possible but don’t over think it.

1. How satisfied are you with your life overall?
2. How much fun are you having in your life?
3. How happy are you in your current career?
4. How overwhelmed, busy or cluttered do you currently feel?

Next go back to each of these questions and identify which of the following you would need to make you happier or more satisfied with the particular aspect of your life the question refers to. (There can be more than one for each question and add your own description if you have one.) Write the descriptive words under the question next to your rating.

• To be accepted
• To be acknowledged
• To have peace
• To be cared for
• To be loved
• To have order
• To be needed
• To have recognition
• To be free
• To accomplish
• To control
• To be comfortable

Last step:

Now go back and define what each of the terms you applied to the questions means to you? If you wrote to be accepted, define what exactly would make you feel accepted and why it is important to you. Try to define as clearly as possible what the term means to you with regards to the question you applied it to.

Have a fabulous week!

Weekly Success Tip #5

Success Tip of the Week#5

“ I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my heart led me to and wondering what life had been like if I’d just been myself.”

Brittany Renee (English Author and Dancer) 

Know Yourself

One of the central steps to success and happiness is to know what is truly important to you …now. We all live at such a pace and encounter so many changes in our life it’s so helpful to stop, discover and appreciate what our unique version of the world is. Without this knowledge you can never make the right decisions for you. Take some time to reflect on what is important to you in life and make sure your actions match your true values. Regardless of what you discover until these things are in alignment no amount of action will work!

Take Some Time for Introspection:

This week try to steal some time for yourself and write (best) or at least think about what’s working in your life now and what isn’t. This exercise might give you some real insight as to the reasons why!

Have a fabulous week!

P.S. Be sure to watch for the coming New Fun Feature: How to Talk to a Man Over 50! This is shaping up to be very interesting and I will be sharing some more juicy details later this week! Remember, this new feature is about YOU and your questions and so far they have been great.

P.S.S. Remember when we take responsibility for our own happiness and success things really begin to happen.  The perfect time to invest in YOU is NOW during the Serious Summer Sale.  CLICK HERE NOW!

Success Tip of the Week #4 and MORE

I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend and managed to have some fun and relaxation.

Interestingly this week’s tip fell on Labor Day so I thought it might be fun to deliver it on Tuesday and share a valuable lesson I learned this weekend. 

Labor Day signals the end of summer and the weather here in Arizona is finally cooling off.  We’re not quite there yet but the early mornings have been pleasant and cooler which is a sure sign that another beautiful winter is finally on its way.  It has been a long hot summer and much has been happening here at WITO. As I sat down to write this week’s Success Tip it reminded me of the old days in school when we were all asked to write a report on how we spent our summer vacation. As I pondered this I began to realize just how much has occurred in these summer months!

• A large number of fabulous creative powerful women who dance to the same beat of the drum as I do have joined the WITO Community. In fact the numbers of you have doubled since April and most of it as a result of good old fashion word of mouth. I have had the honor and privilege to personally work with a number of you and celebrate your successes. Thanks to all of you!
• I created all the content and launched, with your wonderful input, the 21 Day Attitude Adjustment  e-course.
• I just finished recording and producing my first CD, The 21 Day Attitude Adjustment CD. Both of these tasks required me to tackle and learn numerous technical skills which were previously on the “SCARY” list. (oh for a staff or the more popular term…team)
• I have written numerous articles a few of which were featured on the homepages of large self growth sites.
• I have recently been invited to co-host a teleseminar with a popular published author, (more on this soon) and have recently been approached by other self improvement experts with Joint Venture proposals.
• I am very excited about a new venture I have been working on which will be coming soon. I briefly talked about it in my last e-zine: How to Talk to a Man Over 50! This promises to be as fun for you as it has been for me in the making of it! After an arduous search I finally discovered the perfect person (man) to divulge the unabridged version of what goes on in the minds of men!!  I will be filling everyone in on all the juicy details soon but I still am looking for MORE questions.  So isn’t there something you are just dying to know? The questions so far have been great and I think some of the answers will surprise you! Please keep them coming and email me your questions at deborah@womenintransitiononline.com

What does any of this have to do with the tip of the week? You see there is a very valuable lesson in this that we can all learn from.

 As I sat down to write this week’s tip I realized my energy was a little low.  Well, ok it was very low and I felt very uninspired and a bit overwhelmed.  Even though these milestones might seem small to some they were each wrought with hours of experimentation, research and often frustration. There were many times during this long summer when I was in a word, discouraged at what appeared to me as lack of progress.   There were many times when well intentioned people who genuinely care about me offered their gentle suggestions that I should “go back to what I knew” or find something more secure. But each time I listened to some of this “advice” I tried to picture myself doing anything else and I just couldn’t see it. Each time I was ready to concede and perhaps through in the towel something encouraging would occur and lift my confidence and resolve and reassure me of my original purpose. Each time there was a tiny glimpse of what could be.  

But here is the interesting part.  It really wasn’t apparent to me just how much I had accomplished in three short months until I took the time to sit down and write it all down. It was then that it occurred to me how much I had accomplished and the many lessons I had learned over these summer months. There are way too many to list in this brief article but the biggest thing and what I think is the most important is this:

It is so easy to become discouraged and fall victim to turning our focus on what we don’t have and what we don’t do right that it blinds us to the bigger number of things we do right every day. When we allow this to happen it can begin to appear that we are not doing well when in reality we have accomplished so very much. We often don’t take the time to notice and celebrate our many successes. I am willing to bet the number of your successes far outweigh the small number of “perceived defeats.” In looking only at those perceived defeats you have made them into mountains when they are really only mole hills.

So this week’s tip; focus on all your successes and triumphs, all of them. Write them down and with the intention that nothing is too small. Your list should be really long.  When you finish I think you’ll find those successes that seem small to you in comparison to your goal may be huge to someone else who has yet to take the first step. Write  them down and read them over again and again. The secret to your inspiration and positive attitude will be in these words!

Success Tip of the Week #3

Success Tip of the Week: Stress Reducer #3

“There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.” ~Howard Thurman

PLEASING EVERYONE  

 Is it stressful? Well… not only is it stressful it’s also impossible and yet we often find ourselves in the habit of trying to do this very thing. Oddly enough the more we try to please everyone else the less happy we are, the further away from ourselves we grow and the more people we irritate. No one really wins!

Learn To Say “No”:

This week practice the power of simply saying no to those things you either don’t really have the time for or simply don’t want to do! You may lose a few people you thought were your friends but in the end you will find yourself surrounded by people who choose to be in your life because they love who you really are! This is a formula for a happy life.

Have a Fabulous Week!

Success Tip of the Week #2

Success Tip of the Week: Stress Reducer #2

“Once you accept the fact that you’re not perfect, then you develop some confidence.” ~Rosalynn Carter

Perfection 

One of the biggest causes of stress is an obsession for perfection. Of course we all want to do and be our best but obsessing about perfection, (an impossible objective) is a sure fire way to create stress in our lives. It stunts our creativity and damages our self esteem which makes it impossible for us to focus on our best self and what we can become!

Get Real With Yourself:

This week take a moment to get real with yourself about your expectations not only with yourself but other people in your life, events and experiences as well. As we discussed in the 6-part Conquering Change Audio Series, focusing on your “best self” will help you move from the past into the future and has the ability to change your life.

Remember there are changes you can control and changes that you can’t. Actively think about recognizing and letting go of those things that are out of your control. You will have a lot less stress and you will be far more happy, productive and successful.

Have a Fabulous Week!

The Difference

Hi everyone,

I felt I just had to share this…

Something very interesting happened to me last week and I thought would be perfect for a Food For Thought Video.

…I call it The Difference!

So now I ask you the question that I asked myself after this encounter…

What is the difference between these two gentlemen? How is it that one is so unconcerned and unaffected by his age while the other who is actualy 7 years his junior is so resigned to his age and convinced of its limitations?

What are your thoughts? Please share…I would love to hear from you.

To your dreams and possibilities,

Deborah

A NEW TOOL FOR YOU!

…Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home.
   The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.
       - Charles Swindoll

It’s finished! It’s Done! And you helped create it!  

Recently I held a workshop that many of you attended. I asked for your input and if you would share with me the key things you would find most helpful and what would be the easiest way for you to receive and absorb it. (After all, it’s only helpful if you actually get through it, right?) Soooo…

  Thank you to all who responded.

This new system is now available for you and I believe this is something that will truly enhance your life, support your progress and magnify your success!
