"One of the most important writing techniques for boosting happiness revolves around the psychology of gratitude." ~ Richard Wiseman. 59 Seconds to Change: Think a Little, Change a Lot.
Happy thanksgiving Fastlaners!
It seems like a great time of year to reflect on where we are, and where we're going; to focus on what we have and be grateful we have the capacity to do more for others and ourselves.
I picked up the book referenced above that was cited in Unscripted (59 Seconds to Change: Think a Little, Change a Lot), and it's filled with little evidenced based tips and tricks, scientifically supported lifehacks, that help steer your mind back to a productive place, and with persistent application, help keep it there more consistently.
One of the topics, in the happiness chapter, was writing about gratitude.
It's a great little exercise when faced with a uniquely challenging day, or overwhelmingly negative turn of events, to take a few minutes and list and visualize the top 5 things that you're grateful for.
I usually do it in my head, because who has time, but on a day like today, with no challenges, stresses, and too much time, why not write them down?

- Family: a beautiful, energetic and supportive wife and rambunctious and healthy son. They make everything worth doing.
- Ability: I have a decent brain and a body built for field work. Combining the two has allowed me keep moving for years on end, using hard work and stepwise improvement/ refinement to that hard work as my barrier to entry.
- America: Some will argue it's not perfect, but it is great to live in a country where being a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" and social/ economic mobility is a celebrated part of the culture.
- Customers: I'm grateful for every person who gives me an opportunity to be of service. The reviews and genuine appreciation for what I do, propel me in ways that money alone couldn't.
- Fastlane/Unscripted Mindset: It goes without saying, that I'm eternally grateful for all of the factors above and the principles/ philosophy LIVED here, when combined, free me to build and live my life on my own terms. Successes are mine, failures are mine, and line between them is mine to navigate. I'm doing ok so far.
