Easy As 1-2-3

Seed of the Week: Take 5 minutes each day and think of 3 things you are grateful for.

Good morning world, it's another wonderful Wednesday! Whether you are reading this and feeling the chilly effects of winter, or somewhere warm with the sun shining radiantly on your face,  we are glad to have you with us again. We trust your week is going well and that you are progressing towards your goals for the week. Stay productive!

It's morning, and your alarm goes off. The mad dash to get ready for the day begins. Showers are taken, hair is combed, teeth are brushed, clothes are put on, and breakfast may or may not be eaten. If you're a parent, compound the whirlwind effect of this process by 3 for each child you have. The Olympics should include an event such as this, to make it more realistic, but we digress.

In all of the frenzy of the start to the day, how many of us take time to  reflect on the things we are grateful for? Especially before the morning commute may make us say things we quickly will regret. The hustle and bustle of the busy day can often leave us mentally, physically, and emotionally drained. Just keeping up with day-to-day responsibilities can be taxing on us as individuals!

This week's seed idea is centered around re-focusing our attitudes towards the intangible things we are grateful for. Each day, take five minutes and think about 3 things you were grateful for that day. Think about what truly adds value to your life, and the things that help make the community around you better. Pretty soon, you'll start to realize that our days are much more valuable than the routines that often fill them.

We'd like to hear from you about things you are grateful for, so e-mail us at oneseed365@gmail.com, or tweet us at @OneSeed365 on Twitter. And as always, thank you for helping us change the world, one seed at a time.
