Brian Tracy shares three ways to appreciate the present: become aware of how your past choices shaped you, notice joy and laughter in your natural state, and practice gratitude by thanking others and yourself. He opens with a daily mantra: "I believe something wonderful is going to happen to me today."
Start each morning by saying, I believe something wonderful is going to happen to me today. Repeat it over and over again. Hello, I'm Brian Tracy and one of the things that I've worked on my whole life is learning how to appreciate the present. It's very easy to get completely caught up in planning for the future. So much so that we often forget to take time to appreciate the wonderful things happening in our daily lives. In today's video, I'd like to offer three ideas, three things that you can do today to start appreciating the present even more. The first thing you can do to start appreciating the present is to become very self aware. To perform at your best, acknowledge the beauty of your life and be happy. You need to know who you are and why you think and feel the way you do. You are where you are and what you are because of yourself. You have gotten yourself to where you are as the result of the choices and decisions that you have made in the past. If you want to be somewhere else in the future, it is up to you to make new and better choices and decisions in the present. Next, start to embrace your natural state of being in life. Your normal, natural, healthy state of being alive is a wonderful gift and should be treated that way. So try to tune in to the amount of joy you experience and the number of times you laugh on a daily basis to demonstrate the fullness of your current life position. Acknowledge these moments and be grateful for them each time that they happen. Eventually, reacting to these positive moments with gratitude will become a habit and you will start to feel happier all the time. Lastly, if you want to be truly present and benefit from appreciating your daily life, you must develop an attitude of gratitude. The habit of feeling grateful and expressing that gratitude to other people by saying thank you to those in your life and to yourself for all of the wonderful things in your life, every day will have an amazing effect on your personality and your ability to live in the present. An attitude of gratitude makes you a warmer, friendlier and more genial person. An attitude of gratitude makes you more sensitive and more aware of others around you and your environment. The more gratitude you have and the more gratitude you express, the happier and brighter your life will become. When we are thankful to others and express a wonderful attitude to those around us on a regular basis, we can change the lives of others as well as our own. Before we wrap up, I'd like to leave you with a thought to share with your friends and followers. Here it is. Start each morning by saying, I believe something wonderful is going to happen to me today. Repeat it over and over again and you'll be amazed how often something wonderful happens now.
