And I have been thinking of all the wonderful women in my life I am grateful for.

I am also grateful for the many opportunities available to women in business today and I would like to congratulate the women included on the Smartcompany list of female entrepreneurs, published last week to commemorate International Women’s Day.  I am honoured to have been included on that list in the company of such inspiring women

Maintaining an “attitude of gratitude” is a powerful force, capable of completely transforming my state of mind in an instant.

Waking up in a positive state

A discipline I have used at various times of my life is to wake up and think about all the things I am grateful for.

21-Day Challenge

Set yourself the challenge for 21 days to spend a few minutes and ask yourself what you are grateful for.  In fact, write 5 things down in the morning each and every day and notice how this sets the tone for the day for you. I guarantee you will feel happy and train your mind to automatically focus on what’s great about your life.

We get what we focus on so remember to focus on what you want.

As my good friend, Chris Howard, says “what you appreciate, appreciates”
