I have another experiment for you.  It’s called “A Rampage of Gratitude”.  We just did this in San Diego during an advanced training with Jack Canfield. Take 5 minutes out of your day and go on a rampage of gratitude.  Give thanks to everything and anything you see.  “Thank you beautiful blue carpet that I walk on so my bare feet don’t have to be cold”  “Thank you to the person in China that dyed the carpet blue and wove it together”  “Thank you Michael Kors for designing my boots I love” “Thank you to the lady in Italy who sewed my boots together” “Thank you lovely palm tree for being so tall and providing shade” “Thank you birds who sing songs to me”

Get the idea !?!

Then try this “Thank you Mr. Insane driver who just cut me off, now I can slow down and be safe myself” “Thank you store clerk who is taking too long, it allows me to stand in line with patience and breathe” and this one is tough…”Thank you my professor for all the work you give me so I can expand my knowledge and have many opportunities”.

Try it!  See if between now and the next time we speak you can come from a place of gratitude.  Do your daily 5 minute “Rampage of Gratitude” and see if you notice a difference in your outlook.  Don’t forget to start with the easy stuff like the people who inspire you then move on to those people or situations that are more of a challenge.  If you are consistent with this I bet you the sun will shine brighter and your day will be happier!  I know it has helped me.  Let me know…I can’t wait to hear how it goes!
