Do the Gratitude Dance!


What are you grateful for? Your grandchild’s smile? Having breakfast with your spouse? A new opportunity that’s come your way?

Yet, when is the last time you really expressed your gratitude for the things that really matter?

Giving thanks for the good things in your life will help to reinforce your positive mental attitude, and even help you to cope with stress.

Focusing on the good in your life, instead of focusing on what’s missing, is also important to attract more good into your life. In fact, whatever you focus your thoughts on you tend to manifest in your life. 

So take a break from your busy day to think about what you’re grateful for -- and do the Gratitude Dance!

This creative video was put together by the www.juniorattractors.com

(Watch this video -- 2 minutes, 42 seconds)

Oh My God............this is why I teach dance!  I did nothing but smile the entire video - didn't it make my heart swell to see how wonderfully their spirit of joy showed through.  :) 
I am so grateful. 

You better bet'cha this choreography is going to be implimented into all of my classes.......for releasement......a little aerobic.......for a few giggles.........as well as for the sheer joy of moving in such a carefree, but safe feeling so more people will join in, way.

Some of those folks were pretty close to tapping a "Time Step."   :))))

Kudos to the makers of the film - You will bring many smiles and much joy to a great many people........

I thought that guy looked familiar. He'd better stick with the day job, though. ;)

This video made me smile and cry at the same time, releasing joy and gratitude from deep in my soul.

I am grateful for ALL OF YOU on Vital Votes, who's comments, humor and intellect add "food for thought" to my day.

I am grateful for Dr. Mercola, (who's patient I was years ago) who led me to this path of self improvement. (yes, Lucky me, I got to see the Dr. (he even drew my blood himself for my first labs) when he first opened his clinic).

and I am grateful for life, health and joy.  My life. My family.  My kids. My dog. My friends. EVERYTHIING.

I am in the process of moving and getting ready to attend the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in NY (also found out about that from Dr. Mercola) but when I am done I plan to be a regular on Vital Votes.

Namaste
