Day 8


Quote: "Let us rise up and be thankful. For if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little. And if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick. And if we got sick, at least we didn't die. So let us all be thankful." -- Buddha

Journal Prompts:
I love the humor in this quote! Try using humor today when you find yourself thinking negatively about something. Start out by saying, "Well at least I didn't ... (fill in the blank).
So, for example, if your car breaks down you can say, "Well, at least I have a car!" OR "At least there are mechanics who know how to fix my car," etc.
Or you can be totally random and say something that doesn't even apply to your situation like "at least the sky isn't falling" or "at least I can still remember my name."
You get the point! Just have fun with it and see how many "at leasts" you can come up with to turn your negativity into gratitude.
Record your experience and how it helped you feel in your Gratitude Journal.
