Make a gratitude list.

Daily Quote: Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still. ~ Chinese Proverb

Body: Nix the late-night eating. If you eat a lot of excess calories after 8 p.m., you wear them the next morning. Put a stop to this by making sure you have a healthy dinner consisting of lean protein, veggies, and fruit.

Mind: Eat your meals and brush your teeth with your opposite hand today

Spirit: Memorize a bible or spiritual verse. This can be as easy or hard as you like e.g. “Jesus wept”

Emotional: List 10 things for which you are grateful. By creating a gratitude list each and every day, you shift your perspective. New research shows that practicing gratitude may be the fastest single pathway to happiness, health, long life, and prosperity. In a remarkable study performed by Dr. Emmons, people who kept a gratitude journal for just 3 weeks measured 25% higher on life satisfaction after wards.

Here are 5 proven methods:

1. Keep a gratitude Journal.

2. Write a letter of appreciation.

3. Make a gratitude visit. You can express your gratitude in person even more powerfully than in a letter.

4. Make a gratitude list. This can often be a quick pick-me-up.

5. Take a gratitude walk. Many people find the movement and variety of a walk help the brain and heart to work better.

Day Fact: About 284 million people are visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 245 have low vision.
