Step 4
The Gratitude Mindset
Developing a gratitude mindset quickly puts the reality you have created into perspective and allows you to cherish what is most important. The strength of this step is not so much what gratitude gives you, but what it takes away so that you can be open to receive. With gratitude comes the feeling of abundance and you weed out what is not important. You take away or get rid of the emotions that don’t serve you in your quest for simplicity and your best self. 
This exercise in gratitude is simple but does take awareness upon waking in the morning. I know you are up for the challenge!
***** Before you open your eyes in the morning. When you are still snuggled in your plush bed with your comfortable sheets, list all the things you are grateful for. Say them in your head as if you were talking out loud to yourself. Doing this immediately helps you let go of your focus on what you lack and replace it with all the goodness you have!****
