Staying On The Grateful Side Of Life

Deciding to take advantage of the weather and the convenience of my laptop computer, I ventured out to the deck in the back of our home, opened up the file for this year’s journal, and proceeded to copy and past this phrase into its proper place:

My gratefulness journal for today…

Several moments later my entry looked similar to this one:

My gratefulness journal for today…

• So grateful for Sherry… same “song,” millionth verse, lol!
• I think I will say “the deck” again.  I decided to come out and record a few things because I understand in an hour or two thunderstorms may come our way.
• Music.
• Very grateful for Coaching Cognition.
• The Lord.  So “simple,” but where on earth would I be without Him?

Enriched Because Of A Small, “Make It Happen” Choice

Several months earlier I made the choice to create the phrase “My gratefulness journal for today” with a goal of completing a personal gratefulness exercise at least once a week.

I am happy for my choice. Actually, I would use the term enriched.  Enriched because of…

• The simplicity involved in making it happen.
• The rewards of doing so.

On The Value Of Being Grateful

Not long ago I not only prayed this prayer but wrote it down for others to see:

Father, may my eyes see

what my heart should in gratefulness feel this day.

PrayingSimple by © Lee Wise

I share this with you here not because I expect you to approach gratefulness from a faith based perspective, but to state how I personally feel about our need to cultivate gratefulness in our lives.

Gratefulness, in my mind, touches so many aspects of who we are and who we choose to become.

For instance, I did a search for some of my own thoughts on the subject and below may be found only several of the ideas I created in recent days:

• Wisdom – embedding images of beauty in the mind by constantly revisiting them with a joyful and grateful heart. © Lee Wise
• As encouragement inspires hope so gratefulness cultivates the expressive heart of an encourager. © Lee Wise
• In gratefulness I see better and in seeing better I acquire more for which I am grateful. © Lee Wise

Note that my thoughts about encouragement, wisdom and perspective found their way into what I might call my own sphere of “gratefulness thinking.”

Yes, And Your Point Is…?

My point…

Our decisions to cultivate and promote the gratefulness habit in ourselves and in the lives of other people are decisions that count for something good in a world where not all is good all of the time.

• Our “gratefulness habit decisions” count for us,
• And they count for those we influence.

Okay, Lee.  How Would You Define “The Gratefulness Habit”?

Let’s try looking at the practice of being grateful as something like this:

The Gratefulness Habit

The decisions I make to see all the good I can,

As consistently as I possibly can,

For the internal health of myself

And those within my circle of influence.

© Lee Wise

What It Does

In my opinion, the ongoing development of the gratefulness habit can:

• Help us bring things into perspective.
• Help us … or “force” us… to stop and look at things in a positive light.
• Slow us down and cause us to push our internal pause button and to do so for a good reason.
• Prompt us to look outside of ourselves instead of only at ourselves.
• Lead us to others for the purpose of helping or thanking them in some way.

Questions For Influence.  Questions For Life.

• Should your child (older or younger) want to know how you personally stay on the gratefulness side of life, how would you answer them?
• On the way to an internet marketing conference a friend of yours — one of the speakers — calls and says: “Say, I need someone to fill in a ‘bullet point’ ten minutes time frame on a topic to help everyone: at topic like gratefulness for instance.  I know it’s short notice, but can you step in and fill in the gap for me?”  Assuming you answer in the affirmative, what would you say?
• While interacting with your personal coach about a seeming gap between your goals and your reality, she states: “Now tell me, what positive points are you seeing in your life right now.”  How would you respond?
• What part does gratefulness play in your life, business, or in your mental or physical health?  Assuming you could record a great variety of ways — and assuming the question began your thinking — does anyone come to mind you should share any of your responses with?
• Do the important people in your life — those for whom you would say you are extremely grateful — would you also say they most assuredly would know of your feelings?

Using the Power of Five to Enhance Your Life

Either actually — or in your mind — I would like you to scan an area of your choice: preferably a work area such as a home office or something similar.

Not, yet however!

I want you to take a mental scan of your area choice from a very specific vantage point.

Scan With This Perspective

Survey your location with this perspective in mind as you do:

”As I scan my ____ (office, work space, etc.) what ‘productive something’ could I do in five minutes?”

• Not the next five minutes.
• Any five minutes.

It could be anything.

• Calling someone,
• Putting a file folder away,
• writing yourself a reminder
• Or taking a refreshing five minute read.

It just needs to…

• Take under five minutes
• And in your mind it should be “a productive something.”

That is, the action should carry with it a sense of emotional worth; some level of emotional significance.

Ready? Go!

Now Here’s What I Like About What You Discovered

Assuming you really did what I asked, you just experienced “the power of five” in your life.

You identified that which was…

• Doable.
• By design.
• Held some level of meaning for you.
• And could be accomplished in five minutes or less.

“Nice!”

I say “nice,” because of the simplicity and power of what that simple exercise could mean for you at times.

• You choose the time.
• You choose the focus.
• And you “go for it” for only five minutes of your time during any given day.

As you are mulling this over in your mind, allow me to repeat what I mentioned seconds ago.  This is…

• Doable.
• By design.
• Can hold some level of meaning for you.
• And is accomplished in five minutes or less.

Brainstorming With An Open-Ended List

Expand your imagination about a variety of tasks or activities that could be accomplished in five minutes or less.  What I am terming “productive something” moments.

Travel down the ideas below.  Add your own.  Be creative.  And try it!

If you thought through various concepts or categories, what might come to mind? Categories such as the ones below (or others you discover during your short journey down the page).

Organization

• What could you organize?
• Could anything be put away?
• Any clutter be cleaned up?
• What about labeling a file folder and filing a piece of information?
• Dusting maybe?

And your ideas would be…?

Inspiration, Motivation Or Refreshment

• In five minutes or less, what could you bring into your world or call to your attention that might inspire you, motivate you or bring a moment’s refreshment into your busy day?
• Do any books come to mind?
• How about a song, picture or object of some sort?
• Yoga, deep breathing, stretching, pushups or five minutes of other exercise?

And your ideas would be…?

Ideas

• Could you have an “idea break”
• Fun ideas, business ideas, family ideas, etc.  Think ideas by “category” as those I just mentioned for you.

And your ideas would be…?

Blessing Others

• What could you do in five minutes or under that would encourage or bless someone?
• Send a note, give them a call, send a text?

And your ideas would be…?

Stopping And Slowing Down

• Could you meditate or reflect?
• What about writing only one thought in a journal?
• Could you stop long enough to enjoy something small?

And your ideas would be…?

Be Creative

• Could you create a quote, or thought to use for training others?
• What about reviewing a quote that meant something to you?
• And what about looking for a cool place to take your husband or wife?
• Could you find a picture of that blog post you will create later?
• In five minutes or less could a meaningful personal affirmation be created… or at least begun?
• Write down one idea for that next article.  It doesn’t have to be 50 ideas, right?  Not now.  This is just your “power of 5” time! Could you?

And your ideas would be…?

Bring Something To “Completion”

Would you consider bringing part of task to a close? Do it!  Wrap it up, shut it down, and bring that part to a close!

You Got It!

By this time — in the even that you stuck with me this far, lol — you totally get the idea!

• Doable.
• By design.
• Holding meaning for you.
• In five minutes or less!

Tweeting For Influence.
Tweeting For Excellence.

While reflecting on several thought provoking words that had just passed through my mental grid of the moment, I wrote the following:

“May our words bring healing, our thoughts peace, and our actions harmony. © Lee Wise”

I then…

• Read them again,
• Noted my “Yes, I like that!” response,
• Decided they were good enough to share,
• And sent them out as a Tweet.

Question: Why Did I Send Out That Tweet?

The answer to that question lies in the process found below:

• One: I found myself in a reflective mood.
• Two: My reflective mood led me to more of a creative writing mode.
• Three: The right words came at the right time. I felt what some might term “in the flow.”
• Four: I sensed a desire share what I wrote.
• Five: So I shared it!

Hold On, This Will Make Sense

I listed the five points above for the purpose of helping you “unpack” the meaning of what I will share with you in this brief article.

But for now the point that I wish to make is that in essence I shared my “content” not only because of the process named above but because it:

• Represented a segment of who Lee Wise is,
• And it allowed me to express my desire to influence people in a positive manner.

In other words, it provided for me a form of positive self expression for a very personal reason.

Said In Another Way…

• Who I was,
• And who I desired to become,
• Prompted me to fulfill in a very small way a purpose of mine.

In other words…

• I capitalized on my desires and talents (who I was),
• Seized the moment to develop my writing skills (who I desired to become),
• Felt that the words could influence someone in a positive manner (thereby fulfilling my purpose to be a positive influence in the world,
• And I sent out my Tweet.

“So, Lee: What’s This Got To Do With Me?”

Great question, and a relatively simple answer.

I wanted to prompt your thinking about deciding on purpose to express who you are through your Tweets while continuing by design to be positive influence in the world as you do.

You may be already doing that, I realize.  But then again you may not or you may not be where you might like to be.

I remain far from any sign that reads “Twitter Marketing Guru Here.”

Do I Tweet in an attempt promote various resources that could allow me to experience some level of financial gain?  Of course.  After all, I am an author, coach and consider myself to be an attraction marketer!

Which means, of course, that I Tweet in order to:

• Promote.
• Influence.
• And develop my skills as a writer.

But not necessarily in that order.  Quite honestly, the latter two dominate a great deal of my “mental Tweet time.”  (Am I the last and greatest example of Tweeting for influence or using the resource as a tool for developing personal excellence?  Of course not, but I try!)

Something To Think About…

I know this post will not capture the attention of many, many folks: it’s simply “not where they are.”

But I also feel that a few folks will identify with the basic concept of…

Utilizing a common tool for the purpose of enhancing their efforts to influence others in a positive way, in their own unique manner:

• Spurned on by their own motivation.
• Inspired by their own dreams.
• And challenged by the thought of “doing a bit more for a few more people.”

That’s It!

Should you feel that my simple post complemented a desire or your own or prompted some additional thoughts about giving to others from your heart, it would be neat to hear from you.

By the way, my “Tweet” handle is @Lee_Wise

A Question Or Two…

• If you set aside two 30 minute “brainstorm and post for the purpose of influence or developing in excellence” sessions this next week, what might they look like?
• Have you been utilizing any resources that you would get excited about others using or knowing about if you brought those to their attention?  If so, what are they and when could you share?
