Better than drugs!

Do you want to get a little high, without using drugs? You can use this technique to alter your mood or just get high for the fun of it. The best part is that is absolutely free and is actually good for you.

It's called gratitude and here is how it works. First, put a smile on your face (even if and especially if, the last thing you feel like doing is smiling). Next, take a clean piece of paper and write across the top.....I am so grateful and happy now that.....now fill up the page with things you are grateful for. It could be your possessions, people in your life, your pet, a holiday, a gift, something someone said to you, things that happened to you or anything you can conjure up that made you smile in the past.

By the time you fill up the page while maintaining the smile on your face, I guarantee you will feel better. Do this every day and it will change your life. And while it might take awhile the first time, each succesive time it gets easier and quicker.

There is a problem we have in western society, we have lost our gratitude and taken for granted all that we have. Look at all the problems in the third world countries? We are not starving, watching our children die or being murdered indiscriminately. We have so very much to feel gratitude about. We have been blessed but have lost our gratitude for being born so lucky.

The best part of all this is that by feeling happy and full of gratitude you get more reasons to be happy. It is one of those universal laws. Once you are happy others notice it and are attracted to you. People want to treat you better and more good things happen. Soon you will realize you are living in a northern paradise. Todas esta bien! (it's all good). Try it and remember to smile as you do it. Let me know how it works for you?
