Thankful for what you have!

Seeing as Thanksgiving is next week…where does the time fly off too?.... I thought it would be nice to think of all of the things to be thankful about!

I am thankful that I have such an incredible opportunity to work with so many incredible athletes and parents throughout the year.  I am thankful that I get so see over 100 smiles a day.  I am thankful that I get to play a role in those smiles!  I am thankful that I get to see athletes overcome obstacles, reach new heights, and continue to strive for more!   I am thankful that I have this platform to inform and inspire those incredible people.   And more…

I would like you to find a piece of paper and a pen.  Start by copying down this quote from Oprah:

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough”

Next I would like you to make these lists:

I am thankful that I can do these tumbling skills:

1.

2.

3.

I am thankful that these parts of my body are very strong:

1.

3.

I am thankful that I have these people encouraging and supporting me in my cheerleading:

1.

3.

I am thankful that I am talented at:

1.

2.

3.

Lastly, I would like you to take these lists and put them somewhere safe.  The next time that you are feeling down, unhappy with your skills or strengths, discouraged, etc…take this out and add to it.  Be motivated by what you CAN do and not by what you can’t do yet!

Happy November and Happy Thanksgiving J
