SELF ESTEEM: Experience a Gratitude Bounce

CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO LISTEN TO A GRATITUDE DIALOGUE WITH COURAGEOUS LOVING CO-FOUNDERS AMY AND MICHAEL SHERMAN

Have you ever experienced a Gratitude Bounce? What is a Gratitude Bounce? Let me offer you a real life example. It all began with me getting lost into some old negativity…

BEFORE THE BOUNCE: Amy and I were home, and something happened that upset me, and I went to a bad place and my bad place sent her to a bad place and those bad places got worse and suddenly the relationship started stinking like old, wet bananas.

SHIFT INTO GRATITUDE: I went to bed thinking, “My god, we’re better than this…” and I went back to the drawing board.  Keep things simple.  I listened to a some material on a Jack Canfield CD, talking about getting back to gratitude.  Waking up and putting your feet on the floor – Foot 1: “Thank.” Foot 2: “You.”  And then focusing all day on everything to be grateful for. What’s working?  What am I not paying attention to that is serving me?

GRATITUDE DIALOGUE: So I created a Gratitude Dialogue, that you can listen to above. Nothing to crazy, it’s something that integrates gratitude with being received by a partner.  In this way, the gratitude bounces back and forth against each other, inspiring the next piece of gratitude.  I’m grateful that my car is healthy.  She’s grateful that our daughter is healthy.  I’m grateful to have such a cool daughter.  Bounce, bounce, bounce, like playing catch.

MENTAL BOUNCE: So the results from all of this gratitude is a mental bounce – the two of us reconnecting, refocusing on what we notice and saying Thank You, again and again – it has led to a shift in my mood, and in fact, there’s been more rings at the phone for business.  Gratitude helps us get in the flow and we begin to give our gifts again as we are meant to.

Whatever we do or say with our partners bounces up against us like a ball.  What energy do you want to be bouncing?  If you experience a gratitude bounce, your mood will bounce upward, your relationship will rediscover positivity and your approach to business will give you a lift.   Find someone who will receive you – and then you receive them back. This is where the work grows roots.

I encourage you to experience a gratitude bounce as we go into the holidays!
