“Gratitude. That’s the gift I’m giving myself this year, and the gift you just might want to give yourself, too. Why? Because it can transform any situation.  It alters your vibration, moving you from negative energy to positive. It’s the quickest, easiest, most powerful way to effect change in your life – this I know for sure” - Oprah Winfrey

Believe it or not, research suggests that taking even a few minutes each day to stop and contemplate what we are grateful for can change our brain’s wiring. Even in the most dire of situations you can usually find something in your life for which you are grateful – so take the time to seek these things out and reflect on them daily. Better yet, share that gratitude with your partner, family members and friends whenever possible.

Our internal stories are critical to how we perceive the events that happen to us. Actively seeking out and reinforcing that which is good in your life can make a big difference…every day.
