83: QUICKIE! Use GRATITUDE to Change Your Life!

Foreign.

Welcome to the Earn your happy podcast.

I'm Lori Harder, founder of The Bliss.

Project, 3 Time Fitness World champion, fitness expert and cover model, turned self love junkie, lifestyle entrepreneur and author.

Each week I'll bring you a guest.

Or a thought that will help you bust through your fears, connect to your soul and get focused and clear so you can elevate your life, business and relationships. We don't wait until we're ready for someone to tell us we're good enough. We take what we want and we anoint ourselves. Get ready to earn, own, and unapologetically rock your happiness every single day. Are you with me? Here we go. Welcome back to the earn your happy podcast. And it is time for another quickie. Because there's always time to fit in inspiration. And today is Thanksgiving, so in the US it is our Thanksgiving. I know to all my Canadian friends, I believe theirs is in October. So I'm telling you, come on down, come to my house, do double Thanksgiving. It's what it's all about. But I want to open with this quote on gratitude, because that is our topic for today. Gratitude turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. I will probably dedicate so many more of these quickies to gratitude because gratitude is something that's truly changed my life. And that quote was by Melody Beatty. And that is a beautiful quote because it is truth. And whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed or sad or depressed or happy, I. I use gratitude every single morning of my life and every single night because we cannot get more of the good stuff or any of the good stuff without first being so grateful for what we have. I wanna read you one more quote by Oprah Winfrey. Love her. Who doesn't, right? Be thankful for what you have and you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you'll never, ever, ever have. So today I am grateful for the family and friends that surround me. I am so grateful for this podcast. I am so grateful that I have the ability to go and move my body. I am so grateful that I get to go choose delicious, healthy foods that we have options and opportunities. And at any given time, if we want to lear about anything, we can go look it up on the Internet or at the library or in a book that we can basically connect to anyone in the world in the drop of a hat. There's so much to be grateful for. So if you're feeling like you don't have, like you don't have enough or you need something, you will never, ever, ever, ever have it, even when it does appear. Because we must be grateful for what we have now in order to get more of whatever it is that we're desiring. More goodness, more love. I always think of that when I'm not feeling. Maybe I'm not feeling supported or maybe I'm not feeling connected. I always have to remember I have to be grateful for the support and connections I do have and then first support myself and ask myself how I can be connected, right? So all of the questions that we can ask ourselves. So don't hinge your happiness and your gratefulness on if this, then that, right? If this happens, then I'll be happy. If that happens, then I'll finally be happy. No, I want you to look right now. I want you to scan your life. I want you to make this a practice. A gratitude practice has changed everything for me. If I'm not happy with something, I stop, drop and get grateful. So you guys, today, every day, especially today, I just want you to tell someone how grateful you are for them. In fact, tell 10 people if you're around people on Thanksgiving, but stop, drop and get grateful. And I am so beyond grateful for all of you. And I also want to let you know that because I'm so grateful, I am giving you guys a totally free gift that I have poured my heart into. And basically this would be an entire program that I would normally charge for and enroll everyone on. But because I'm so incredibly grateful for you guys, this year, I am giving away 14 days of free workouts. So join my 14 day Hallo Burn challenge. I must have you in my tribe because I want to know who I'm talking to. I want to be able to look up the hashtag and see you guys. So go to loriharter.com challenge and it would mean the world to me if you would give this a go. If you would do 14 days consistent consistently with us and meet all of these totally rad, amazing people that are listening to this podcast and doing this challenge together. It's really just a consistency challenge, right? Because we want to build that solid habit. And most of all, I just want you to move into 2017 with momentum. Like, let me tell you how much fun it's not when you are that girl on January 1st or guy, because I know guys are listening. Hey, guys, what's up? When you're that girl who wakes up on January 1st, like, oh my God, I'm so hungover. And all of my goals, like, no, I've been in California too long. But for real, January 1st, you guys, it's coming and you're gonna want to accomplish those goals. And the way to do that is just to slowly build habits that are gonna support you. We can't go from like not moving, not working out, drinking wine for like two weeks straight or two months straight. Right? Let's be real. I used to live in the Midwest to I'm super fit and healthy and I'm making all these great choices. Like, you just totally robbed yourself of all of the joy that you had been experiencing the past two months because you haven't yet created a new joy habit or a way of experiencing joy outside of what you were doing.
