When I wake up in the morning, I take several deep breaths and focus how nice it feels. If it is light out, I have several pictures hanging in my room that I enjoy looking at. Sometimes I wake up next to a beautiful woman and enjoy the moment. If it is my time with the kids, I wake them up and we have snuggle time...
I enjoy shower time in the morning...the feeling of the warm water, I have 3 or four different smelling shampoo.. one smells like coconut and brings reminds me of the beach...I enjoy the beach...
Yep, you've uncovered the mystical power of the "gratitude lists". Take your mind off of past crap you can't do anything about long enough to begin to appreciate all that is good in life, and then you can learn from the past, and you have the energy and drive to make plans for your future.
If you can't think of 10 things to put on a gratitude list every day, then get cracking, eh? I could make gratitude lists all day too, but I am grateful for my job, so better not
