Daily Gratitude Challenge Update #2

By Carol Williams

Education & Training with Although I'm retired, I love sharing my knowledge and learning from other real estate industry professionals.

"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a gift and not giving it."

As many of you know I'm doing a Gratitude Challenge. On December 28, 2017, I posted Leaping Into And Through 2018 With Gratitude. I invited you to join me in writing down (at least) 3 things every day that you are grateful for.

For those of you who indicated you would join me, this is just a reminder to keep going. The goal is to reach 1095 by December 31st. That equals an average of 3 per day.

My status so far:
January: 140
February: 168

Did you accept the challenge? If so, are you keeping up with your commitment? If not, it's never too late to jump in.

Hi Carol- as the others while I do think about all of the wonderful things and people in my life several times a day, sadly I have not made the time to write them down. But I'm going to do my best to try to start writing them down.

Hi Sheila Anderson ,
Whatever works for you is great! I just find after writing down the obvious, I am more acutely aware of all the little things there are to be grateful for. It's a personal journey for all of us, isn't it?

Hi Kathy Streib ,
You don't HAVE to write them down, of course. I just find after writing down the obvious, I am more acutely aware of all the little things there are to be grateful for. It's a personal journey for all of us, isn't it?

Carol I think about being grateful for so many things every day but I haven't written anything down. Just being in a happy/grateful state is GREAT!

Helping make your real estate dreams a reality

I have long started each morning thinking of several specific things for which I'm grateful. In 2018 I've started writing them down.

I'm not sure, but it could be that, for me, writing them down takes away from the conscious thought and feeling - I certainly don't want this to be a 'task' We'll see how I'm feeling about this by the end of March.

There's a lot more to be grateful for than most people realize. What a difference it makes in another person's life when they know they are appreciated. A compliment is free and should be given generously for all the right reasons.
