An easy way to instantly boost your mood in the morning is to give thanks for what you have. This allows you to focus on the abundant blessings in your life, rather than on what you wish you had or what you think is missing in your life.
To get started, pull out a dedicated notebook or journal each morning and write down a list of things you are grateful to have in your life. At times, you may feel like you are writing out the same things every morning. But before you know it, you’ll find more and more things to give thanks for as you start each day. Life has a way of giving us more to be grateful for the more we acknowledge and give thanks for what we already have.
#James Donaldson notes:
Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.
Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.
Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space. #http://bit.ly/JamesMentalHealthArticle
