<p>Yesterday I got into a bit of a negative rut, I started to think negatively about the direction of my life.  I just felt like I was simply moving along with no control over my time or schedule.</p>
<p>I had two choices to make. First I could believe my thoughts and continue to feel as though I had no direction in my life or I could take control and decided what direction I wish my life to take.  It really is as simple as that.</p>
<p>A great way to change the way you feel is to focus on what you appreciate and are grateful for in life, rather than focusing on what you don&#8217;t have or how you don&#8217;t feel or even how &#8220;bad&#8221; the world may seem.  Remember that what ever you think about most is the reality you will create for yourself.</p>
<p>A great way to shift the way you feel and think is by using a gratitude journal.  It doesn&#8217;t have to be anything fancy, lined paper in a binder would work just fine.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, prior to bed, grab a pen and your journal and list the things you are grateful for that day.  You may begin each sentence with &#8221; I am grateful for&#8230;.&#8221;.  Upon writing what it is you are grateful for, you will immediately begin to feel a change in your state &#8230;.one from despair to abundance and joy.  It truly is amazing.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll leave you with this great video&#8230; if you want, try watching it in the mornings when you wake up to shift the way you think and put yourself in a higher level of vibration of wellness.</p>
