Working Mums Tip #6 In Essence – Being Grateful for What You DO Have In Your Life

If you do nothing else from reading these tips – then do this last one!

This will make a HUGE difference to your life and to how you feel about everything that happens. Don’t take our word for it, just try it!

If you are reading this tip now, this means you already have an amazing life compared to most people in the world. You have enough food, shelter, clothing , your family and children have access to leading edge medical treatment and you have ways of earning income to help yourself and those you love. This is more than 95% of what the world’s population have got.

And yet we want more – and things to be better for us. And that’s OK. That’s how the world works and how our knowledge and skill expands – to provide for us and others coming behind us. So it is good to ASK for what we want – to wish for things that we would love to have in our life – more money, more freedom, better health, easier relationships – if you can think of wanting it, then it’s OK for you to have it!

What we have learnt DOESN’T work – is asking for these things from a place of complaining, or scarcity, or not having them. If we constantly think about what we don’t have - from a place of complaining that we don’t have them -then we don’t get them. Or if we focus on how other people have things that we want – new house, new car, different job, luxurious holidays etc – then we just make ourselves feel bad that we don’t have them.

But if we are grateful for what we DO have in our life – and give that thanks every day – and ASK for what it is that we would like more of – then we have found that that’s what works. Coming from a place of gratitude to ask for more – rather than a place of lack to ask for more.

So here’s our last tip – every day, when you wake up - and before you go to sleep - and any other time of the day that you can remember:

Give thanks for the love in your life – for your family and for being able to have or look after children – many people can’t.

Give thanks for your career/job/employer/business for the opportunity to earn income and support your family and your aspirations in life.

Give thanks for the food in front of you – the roof over your head – the clothes on your body – the health you enjoy – for this glorious, abundant, safe country that we live in.

Give thanks for ALL you have in your life – however small or insignificant you think it is. Many people in the world would LOVE to have what you have.

And then focus on what else you would LOVE in your life – what would you really LOVE? And then believe it will come to you….

Wishing you many good things – and hoping to see you at an event soon…
