The Gratitude Transformation | Business

Forty-two days ago, while sitting in the La Fonda Hotel in Sante Fe, NM, I and nearly 100 other female business owners were issued a challenge by Abundance Mentality Coach, Melinda Balling. For 21 days in a row, we were to make a list of at least ten things we were grateful for every morning before doing anything else.

I’ll be honest, there were some days I didn’t finish my list until just before bedtime, but I always did, The List, and the experience has been nothing short of transformational for me. They say that, “what you focus on grows” and that is what happened for me.

As I began each day by contemplating all the things I was thankful for, I brought my Lens of Gratitude more and more into focus and the more focused it became, the more I saw to be thankful for. It was as if, my “focusing”, increased the flow of blessings into my life.

The process began a couple of weeks before Christmas and making the list each day gave me the blessing of SLOWING DOWN and meditating on all that was good in my life. As I settled into a slower pace (which is REALLY not something I was accustomed to), I began to notice more and more of the Little Things in my life, my family, and my business which allowed me to make choices to strengthen my relationships, shift some things in my business, and truly ENJOY life!

I decided today, to share with you just 42 of the blessings I discovered on my transformational journey.

I AM grateful for:
