There is one thing that has helped me stay focused more than any other thing, and that is writing down three things throughout my day. Anytime I am not feeling good, or just need a boost of uplifting, I turn to these powerful questions.

What am I grateful for right now?
What am I happy about right now?
What have I done well today?

By writing the things that you are grateful for, it shifts your thinking from what you don’t have to what you do. What ever you focus on expands. So, if you are focusing on the things that you are grateful for, you will receive more things to be grateful for in your life. That is how it works. That is the law of attraction. The opposite is true as well. If you focus on all the things you don’t have, you will continue to repel the very thing you want from you, because you are FOCUSING on what you don’t have. That is the law of attraction at work also.

I know at times when there doesn’t seem to be anything to be happy about it is hard to answer the, what are you happy about right now, question. However, if you really think about it, there is something that would at least have you cracking a smile. Maybe your happy to have read this today, or that you are happy you are taking action towards fulfilling a life dream of yours.

The reason for the third question is to give yourself credit for the things you do well. There are things that you do very well everyday, however, if you never notice it, or give yourself credit for it, it tends to lose its significance. YOU have a lot to offer to this world, the people around you, to this nation. YOU have gifts that no one else does, and it is important that you recognize these everyday. So, be sure to give yourself credit, and let YOURSELF know that you do have a lot to offer.

If at anytime you are feeling down, or things don’t seem to be going the way you would like it to be, take the time to go over those three questions. Once you shift your focus to what is not making you feel good in the moment, to what you are grateful for and happy about, and what you have done well, you will begin to feel a shift within you.

I did not come up with three questions myself. I discovered them about three years ago. I have heard two people making reference to these three questions. I would give the credit to who ever came up with them, however, I don’t. I am sure the person who did come up with the questions wanted to help people in some way. May they help you too.
