Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Combat Complacency "

One of the things that I constantly remind myself to do, is to be very aware

of the good things in my life. It seems to be a part of human biological

functioning to take good things for granted, especially those good things

that are a part of our day-in, day-out lives.

You see, there is actually a part of our brain that is designed to screen

out anything that isn't hurtful, fearful, or physically moving. Many

centuries ago, it helped our ancestors stay alive and get ready to fight or

run away.

Nowadays, this brain function may have something to do with our neglect of

the good but very familiar things in our lives. So is there anything we can

do about it? How can we combat this complacency?

Well, for one thing we can become conscious! We can stimulate our own

awareness by making lists of the things we are grateful for, and by

deliberately thinking about what we value and take pleasure from.

We can express these feelings in words, or in other ways. We can express

them openly, and in the process help others to remember their own reasons

for gratitude. What are you grateful for in your life? How do you express

your gratitude, and how often do you express it?

Are you taking your most important gifts for granted? If so, how could you

change, and how soon?
