Today is a BIG day, it’s my 41st birthday! Yay! I must admit, since turning 40, I had all these goals; weigh 50kg, earn more money, be fit an toned, I would . . . the list goes on. BUT instead I decided to count my blessings and create a ’41 things i am grateful for’ list.

 

41st birthday

Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you’ve been given. Gratitude shifts your focus from what your life lacks to the abundance that is already present. In addition, behavioural and psychological research has shown the surprising life improvements that can stem from the practice of gratitude. Giving thanks makes people happier and more resilient, it strengthens relationships, it improves health, and it reduces stress.

Obviously starting with what I am grateful for today; which is celebrating my 41st + treating myself to a solo-trip to Paris 10 days from now!
