The Magic Sept 17

Sept. 17

Count your blessings. Make a list of ten blessings. Write why you’re grateful. Reread your list, and at the end of each blessing say thank you, thank you, thank you, and feel as grateful for that blessing as you can.

I am truly blessed to have professional development this morning

Because I will learn what I need to know, PLUS being out of the classroom a LITTLE invigorates me to have even MORE to give when back

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so happy and grateful for M.

Because she called last night and this morning. And she loves me. And her friendship is like sisterhood to me.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am truly grateful for TWO people (who don’t know each other) asking yesterday to get together with me

Because they love who I AM. That feels SO nice!

Thank you thank you thank you!

With all my heart, thank you for my leg healing.

Because I should not have exercised the day before yesterday when it had hurt to begin with,

and doing so made it worse.

But I skipped yesterday and it has started to feel a lot better already

Thank you thank you thank you!                                                                                                       

I am truly blessed to be doing better

Because I felt like I was sinking a little for 2 days or so and more last night. But I am more positive again now.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so happy and grateful that yesterday, I wore a pair of pants all day that I couldn’t even zip up last week!

Because I am really DOING this!

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am truly grateful for my health and fitness abilities!

Because when I stop and think of it, you know, the truth is that I am very very very lucky to have these abilities to just – live!

Thank you thank you thank you!

With all my heart, thank you for my compassion

Because I so want to be a more and more and even more compassionate person, and I am pretty much so. Always growing…

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so incredibly fortunate and lucky and grateful for all my safety.

Because every day of safety has been and is a gift. I appreciate.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so incredibly fortunate and lucky and grateful for all this good food.

Because I not only don’t have to worry about starving, but I actually struggle with overeating. What a “problem” to have. I have access to healthy foods and am very very grateful for that! And am eating better and better!

Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you thank you thank you!

2. Remember The magic by counting the blessings of yesterday and writing them down. Ask yourself the question: What are the good things that happened yesterday? Scan the surface of yesterday until you feel satisfied that you’ve remembered and written down all the blessings of the day.
