Being thankful will not only change your mood but change your health.  All to often I hear complaints of being too fat or out of shape.  Sure there are millions upon millions of people NOT experiencing life with perfect body.  You might be one of them. 

Diets, workouts, supplements, workout equipment and the like are all part of a growing industry called Health and Wellness and it is fast on its way to being a TRILLION dollar market place.  We spend like crazy for that smaller dress size or bigger pecs.

Have you ever been thankful for what you do have and thankful for the fact that you can change it?  Are you thankful for other aspects of your life.

I challenge you to think of one thing you are thankful for and write it down.  “Uhhhh, hhhhhmmm, well I guess I’m thankful for……” 
Great!  What you will find is that you will think of a second thing,  then a third – then many many things. 

Did you know there have been studies that found when people kept what is called a Gratitude Journal the results where that of increased immune funtion and many other PHYSICAL benefits!

It is a well know fact that the limbic system in the brain mediates emotion and movement.  It is not much of a stretch to find the connection between being thankful and overall health.

Go ahead…take a few minutes and do it right now.  All your worries, to do lists, and problems will be here when you get back.

So  how do you feel?  Do you feel happier?  Lighter?  More alive?

This is a wonderful exercise to do each morning when you wake (instead of checking email), or at night when you go to bed.

Want to know the magic part?

When you continually express the discipline of gratitude you will not only be happier, but healthier and I bet you that you will start to achieve more in your life.

Start a gratitude jounal today.

It’s your choice.

Be thankful.  Workout.  Win.
