“You can never get to peace and inner security without first acknowledging all of the good things in your life.”

— Doc Childre and Howard Martin

Sometimes, we find ourselves unhappy and not at peace.  This could be due to a variety of reasons.  I believe what is key and a good practice, during these times, is to exercise gratitude.  What do I mean?  I try to think of all of the things that I am truly grateful and thankful for.  This process is two fold.  First, it lifts me up.  It makes me realize how truly fortunate I am.  Second, it helps me to find inner peace. 

So, next time you’re feeling blue or unhappy, I encourage you to try this exercise.  It may just help.
