Thanks. So jumping right into module one, which is focusing on gratitude and the power that it has on your happiness. And I'm going to show you in this video, I'm going to make it nice and short, sweet, hoping no longer than 15 minutes because I truly value all of your time. And I'm going to share with you how it is that you can by expressing gratitude and everything you have in your life and everything, even the good, the bad, the ugly, how it has a massive impact on your happiness in your life. So we live in a world today where we want to be setting these massive goals in your life. Get the money, get the job, get the body, get the relationship, the marriage, the kids everything.

We want everything in our life. But when are we going to be happy with what we already have? When are we going to be happy with the job that we have? When are we going to be happy with the body that we have right now? I mean, like I got stretch marks all over my body right now. Now and I love everything.

I love my flabby arms. I love, like everything on my body. I love the job that I have. It's crazy stressful, but I'm absolutely in love with it. And I want you to get there with your life. And I know there's some things in your life that you're not very grateful for, which is the ugly stuff.

But when you there's absolutely no bad experiences in life. Nothing zero, nada, everything that we go through in our life, we need to get before. And the reason for that is because when we're going through those not so great experiences, they teach us something they teach us something that we wouldn't have been able to learn ourselves if we didn't go through that experience. So for example, a lot of you taking this course are going to be entrepreneurs, or entrepreneurs. You learn through failure. I learned through failure I have failed countless times, I don't have enough limbs on my body to tell you how many times I have failed in my business in the one year I have been a coach.

I have failed so many times. But I am so grateful for every single experience I've had. Because it got me to where I am today. It got me from point A to B to C, all the way to wherever I am today you are today. But we need to take that time in our life, to just just stop, stop what you're doing. live in the moment.

And just be grateful for what you have. You need to appreciate what you have because I know personally, when I'm not expressing gratitude for what I have today, God isn't going to give me anything else. Nothing else good is going to be given to me because if you can't be grateful for everything you've received already in your life. What makes you think that when you have the money, you have the job, you have the relationship, the kids Whatever it is that you want in your life right now that is going to make you happy. What makes you happy right now? So, and this is a pattern that a lot of us experience today.

And that's complaining about what we have what you don't have. And we just, it's never enough. It's never enough. What we have today is never enough. We always want more. So I mean, like if you got this job, okay, that's great.

But this job doesn't have this and the job that I could have gotten over there had that. So now I want that job. Well, what, like, everything that we have today, everything that we have now in our life, you need to take that moment to appreciate everything you have, because when you start changing that mindset, and you start focusing on the good things that are happening, you'll start noticing More good things are gonna happen to you, you will start noticing that it is literally a switch in your brain, you flick your fingers, you turn that switch on, and all these incredible things start happening to you. Because you don't take the time to acknowledge all the crappy stuff. You don't take the time to acknowledge about the things that you don't have. If you are wanting more money.

Yeah, that's great money, you know, does kind of bring you happiness. But what experience can you do today? I mean, I, I personally, we, me and my spouse, we were reading up on Reddit the other day and we found this data idea where it's go spend $20 on $1, scratch tickets, whatever you win from those scratch tickets. That's your date money. That's fine. It's $20 we're gonna have a blast.

That makes me happy. I'm grateful for the $20 we made. We may even not even spend any money. mean hey, if we get zero dollars and $20 worth of scratch tickets, whatever we go to the park, we go for a walk. But But point of this is, money is not going to bring you happiness. It's the experience that you have in your life that bring you happiness.

It's the moments that you appreciate in your life that bring you happiness. But you need to stop taking everything for granted. You need to stop, you need to slow down. And you need to acknowledge the things that you already have in your life. So that you can make room for more things to be grateful for. So that is kind of what I wanted to focus on today and just get that right out there.

And you're going to be getting some spreadsheet or not spreadsheets, pardon me. Some worksheets that will kind of help you refocus your brain on what it is that you can be grateful for. And I actually have this amazing journal that I wanted to write Because I've been doing this journal for probably about two three years now and it has changed my life immensely. And it's the Five Minute Journal. It's super durable. You can get it obviously anywhere you can buy journals and books, Amazon, good old Amazon.

And what it is, is every it has an am routine and a pm routine. And it is three things every single morning that you're grateful for. So I mean, like where's, where's a good one I can show you. Alright, so I have um, October 21 2016. I have my older journal. I has a quote at the top so every single day has a different quote.

If you know me, you know I love quotes. And it's I am grateful for an amazing, amazing understanding boyfriend. I'm grateful for my Young Living essential oil diffuser. I'm grateful for having a life purpose. Then they have what will make today Great. So it's having you focus on all the amazing things that could happen today.

And for those of you that have done gratitude lists, if you train your brain to start focusing on seeing the good and all the things that could potentially happen to you, you're gonna magnetize your life towards those things. And when you start writing those things down, you'll notice that they will start actually happening to you, the more that you train yourself to believe that you can live an amazing life and you're grateful for the things that you have and if you don't get these things, whatever it doesn't matter because you have everything you need right now. And that is the key to gratitude is just appreciating everything you have the good, the bad, the ugly, everything everything you have even if you you know you get hit every single red light, be grateful that you know what, this is a reminder for For you to slow down in life, maybe that's what you need to learn from that moment.

Or, you know, maybe you possibly could have gotten into an accident down the road and you know, stopping at this red light prevented yourself from getting into that accident. I don't know, you don't know. But what you do know is that everything that happens to you has a purpose. Everything that happens to you, you need to be grateful for and appreciate, to stop taking all these things you have for granted. I mean, some people don't even have vehicles. Some people don't have roofs over their head.

Some people struggle to meet their bill payments. Some people struggle to just want to wake up every single day, I don't know. But think of your life and think of everything that you have and all the amazing things. So you need to focus on three things every single day that you're grateful for. And then they have what would make today Great. So you have three things you can list for that and then they have a section for daily affirmations.

So you can write down what you're offering for that day, so some of the affirmations I have is I'm going to follow my arrow, I'm going to follow my compass mindset matters. I can change my circumstances. My thoughts are what I will manifest today motivation is within the eye of the beholder, beholder? Well, there's that section. And then they have a pm section, which is three amazing things that happened today. And that's another fantastic practice of gratitude is focused on the things that are happening to you in your life.

That if you take the time, and you actually write down and acknowledge the amazing things that are happening in your life, if you keep a list like I, I promise you, and I say this because I do this with my clients all the time. Write down every single thing that is amazing that happens to you, even if it's you know, someone walking up to you and you know, putting 25 cents into your meter because you thought Your meter was going to expire, write that down. If you know you hit every single green light on the way to work, write that down. Whatever it is, if someone you know, gave you a referral for your business, write that down and start acknowledging the amazing things that are happening to you. Because like I said, as you focus on that, you will manifest more into your life because your brain has acknowledged that amazing things happen to you.

And as you acknowledge those things, they will naturally come to you. It's like, as a woman, if you think you're pregnant, prego sauce, you start noticing the shapes of pairs, you start seeing babies everywhere you start seeing, you get the point. But as you tell your brain, this is my life. This is what is happening to me. All of those things are going to start happening. Same with a vehicle.

If you're like, Hey, I'm going to buy this vehicle because I don't see it. Any Where in my life you know, nobody has it. It's not a common vehicle, I want this, I want this color, boom, they're everywhere. Everyone suddenly has that vehicle. So the same thing happens with your thoughts. If you think positive thoughts, and you continuously train your brain, it is a muscle.

Your brain is a muscle that needs to be trained to think positively, to be grateful for everything because naturally, if you are a negative person, it's hard to get out of that habit. If you are a complainer it's hard to get out of that habit. If you think you never have enough, it's hard to get over the habit, but you need to start focusing on the positive you need to start focusing on the gratitude because as you do that, it's hard to be unhappy. It's hard to have a bad day. So I'm going to end that lesson with that. And if you guys have absolutely any questions, you can drop them In the comments and let me know and I'll happily answer those for you
