Relevance: Substitute
Stuff happens, life gets messy and once in a while, you get thrown a curveball that unexpectedly hits you square in the face. Getting knocked down from time to time, it’s not always easy to get back up again. You might even lose perspective and forget that there are more extraordinary experiences coming your way. In fact, gratitude is no easy task especially when you’re tired, frustrated, overwhelmed, and struggling. That’s where Gratitude Shmatitude, comes into play. It is a practical guide — your map and compass — that can lead you to a grateful more centered life filled with compassion and enthusiasm.

This practical guide demands that you don’t merely think about gratitude but do it too. Chapters are divided into two parts; think and do. The 'think it' part includes stories and sometimes facts for contemplation and the 'do it' part at the end of each chapter includes actionable steps to take and explore gratitude.

In Gratitude Shmatitude, we learn that being grateful for something or to someone should never be overwhelming or obligatory. Rather, it is an experiential practice of happiness and connection to nature, people, and ourselves. Whether you work through this book in days, weeks, or months, it will guide you on your journey toward habitualizing gratitude and making it a conscious daily practice.

Gratitude as a practice can help you put things in perspective. It is an effective tool we can use to bring ourselves into the present moment. It asks us to consciously focus our attention on what is happening now with openness and acceptance. A routine practice can strengthen feelings in you of compassion, warmth, and tenderness. Gratitude is powerful. It transforms lives. It can restore your faith in humanity. It can remind you that dreams can destroy your mediocrity, that life is beautiful and the fact that we indeed exist on this planet shooting through space is nothing short of a miracle.

By the end of this book, you just might step into a life filled with gratitude. It’s all up to you.
