Gratitude can do anything and yes it may sound crazy. But there is a power in it that is incredibly strong. I use gratitude – both when I’m feeling great, and even more so when I’m having a hard time. When I’m fooling around in negative times, when everything is just boring, I can turn it around in my mind.

This is also something that I briefly address in my lecture. Because it’s really important to remember to give thanks for everything I have and not just want more and more ☀️

THANK YOU is really important! My thankfulness no one can take away from me! 🙂 I feel like I get my mind off the negative and end up focusing on the positive instead. Doing so makes me appreciate life and the things around me more. I can have a tendency to let my thoughts rule, but knowing that I can turn it around, the negativity doesn’t last long. It may sound very banal, but I feel with age, I have more control over my body and thoughts 🙂

It’s not something I just did. It has taken me time to be where I am today, but it has been worth the journey. And I’m enjoying the journey because it just gets better and better 🙂

I say thank you every morning and evening. Thank you for what I have, what I have achieved and for the various things that have happened during the day. I believe that it gives satisfaction inside and joy at what you have achieved. The positive joy just breeds more and doors open 🙂

And when I have a stupid or boring day, when I can find it difficult to say thank you, I always find something to say thank you for anyway. Something to be positive about. Because even the very small things in life, we can focus on ☀️✨🌱🍂

So maybe I’m saying thank you for the sun shining and warming, the beautiful autumn, the snow falling, the smile from a stranger on the street, hot cocoa after a walk, a good song in the ears, the bird in the sky, the fart fortunately not smelly, clean bed linen, my wool sweaters, nice comments on my posts, hugs from someone I care about, a ‘runner with brunner’ in the Funen, new equipment, ice water on a hot day… well, I could go on: )

Try making a list… of 100 things you appreciate – big or small. You are guaranteed to have a lot to be grateful for without even thinking about it 🙂

Thanks for reading along on a feeling I wanted to share.

And before I end, I would like to THANK you for being with me on this adventurous journey I am on in my Work & Travel life. With you, it’s just more fun to share, and get your feedback. You have no idea how much it means to me to see and feel you 🙏🏼💪🏻❤️

And THANKS to all of you who have been out in the Danish country and seen my lectures! It’s been really great to put real faces on the little profile pictures on various social media 😂
