Get really upset right now (or just wait till it happens next) then take a moment to step out of that anger/stress/depression to think of three things that make you grateful. Could be the fact that you&rsquo;re alive, that you&rsquo;re listening or reading to this now or whatever. Just give yourself the gift of gratitude.</p> Fri, 11 Jan 2008 22:43:09 -0000 forums.thinkarete.com:503:67:67 brian http://forums.thinkarete.com/forums/503/topics/67
