The Gratitude Dance

This week I received a note about a short, inspiring video on YouTube called the Gratitude Dance. It's fun to turn on the speakers, follow the directions, and actually do the dance. I know...I've already done it a few times in the past week alone! First for the directions from www.juniorattractors.com, then for the YouTube link:

"Have you heard about the gratitude dance? Everybody’s doing it! In our many Fun Facilitations and opportunities to speak in front of big crowds we install the importance of having an Attitude of Gratitude and receive full participation from the audience.

Instead of focusing on what is missing in your life, focus on the many great things you already have that you can be grateful for. Many teenagers have shared with us how different they feel in an instant when they go from focusing on what they don’t have or don’t like in their life, to focusing on what they are grateful for, the abundance. There is abundance everywhere, and it’s appreciating the smaller things in life that will help you attract bigger things later.

At times when your present situation seems bad, choose to focus on what you are truly grateful for and watch the world around you change.

Follow this simple three step process to show your attitude of gratitude:

1. Write down everything that you are grateful for.
2. Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9z2ELaBVJY and turn on the video.
3. NOW, DO THE DANCE!!!"

Coaching Inquiries: What do you do to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and fun in your life? What's stopping you from writing down what you are grateful for right now, and doing the dance? Go for it.
