Unemployment,

credit, loss of benefits, layoffs, small business closings, furloughs,
reduced pay - or perhaps simply trying to make ends meet - Americans
face more problems today than at any time in recent history. Many are
wondering how to be thankful this Thanksgiving season. Mary Lore of
Managing Thought, LLC, has the answer.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Managing
Thought Leads To
Being Thankful - Even In The Midst Of Tough Times
Mary Lore, CEO of Managing Thought LLC and author of Managing Thought: How Do
Your Thoughts Rule
Your World?,
proposes that thankfulness is one of the quickest and most powerful
ways to create positive direction and powerful change in our lives.
[November
23,
2009, Detroit MI] As we approach the holiday season, America
faces
some very difficult circumstances: unemployment, bankruptcy, tightening
credit, loss of benefits, layoffs, small business closings, furloughs,
reduced pay - or perhaps simply trying to make ends meet.
Many people are wondering how to be thankful this Thanksgiving season
while in the midst of such tough times. “Practicing
thankfulness is one of the
most powerful ways to
bring about a change in our circumstances,” says Mary J.
Lore,
author of the multiple award-winning book and audio book Managing Thought: How Do
Your Thoughts
Rule Your World?.
“During difficult times, we may find ourselves struggling
with
thoughts of fear, self-doubt, worry, anger and depression. Besides
negatively impacting our health and vitality, these thoughts
don’t move us in a direction that serves our purpose -- in
fact,
they make matters worse.”
"One of the quickest and most powerful ways to create a change in our
circumstances is to practice thinking thoughts of thankfulness," Lore
says. Lore states that thankfulness is one of the highest levels of
consciousness, giving us the ability to see the myriad of
possibilities, discover what we truly want, receive ideas on what to do
next, and create and realize a vision for the future.
“When we practice thankfulness, a physical and mental
transformation occurs. Our brains begin perceiving even more to be
thankful for. We find ourselves focusing on our
strengths.
We’re smiling. Our spine straightens. The muscles
in our
face and neck relax and our breaths deepen. Our creative
juices
begin to flow and we get creative ideas on how to turn our
situation around and move in a direction that inspires us."
Lore conducts workshops across North America as founder and president
of Managing Thought, LLC, which helps individuals and organizations
develop self-awareness and change how they think to attain long-lasting
success.
She offers the following advice to practice thinking thoughts
of thankfulness. Lore says that thankfulness takes practice,
and
just one of these practices brings dramatic improvement in our lives,
our families, and our organizations.
1. List everything you are thankful for
-- in your
life, career, family, relationships, your body and its functionality,
your strengths and skills, your values and personality, your home. If
you are a business, list everything you are thankful for with your
customers, suppliers, investors, employees, the industry, and specific
customers, suppliers, investors and employees. Be sure to find
something to be thankful for with respect to what you may be most
unhappy about. If we hold contempt for anything we wish to change, we
actually block our ability to change it.
2. At the end of each day, work backward
and think of
everything you are thankful for from that day. Our spirits are lifted
when we are appreciative of even the smallest things.
3. Take note of what you are thankful for throughout the
day—before or after a conversation, a telephone call, a
meeting
or a new task, and be thankful for each experience.
4. When you catch yourself
thinking a worry,
self-doubt, anger or other self-defeating thoughts, take a deep breath,
first exhaling deeply, and ask yourself “What can I be
thankful
for in this moment?”
5. See what happens.
Mary’s book has won six best book awards in various business,
leadership and personal development categories. The most recent
Nautilus Awards for Conscious Business and Leadership and Audio Books
that Enlighten and Inspire place Mary with previous winners including
Deepak Chopra, M.D., Eckhart Tolle, and His Holiness the Dalai
Lama.
