Yesterday I discussed building your gratitude muscle.
I promised I would share with you one of the ways I hold onto that gratitude. In Tommy Newberry’s book The 4:8 Principle, he recommends filling out 4:8 questions every morning and every night. Though it didn’t start to work for immediately, the results didn’t take long to show. I was finding little things to be grateful for and I didn’t have time for the negative things.
I mixed up his recommendation to suit me better and here it is. I hope you enjoy.
4:8 QUESTIONS
Morning:
- What are five things I am thankful for right now?
- What are my strengths, and how can I use them today?
- What are three of my recent victories, and who was blessed as a result?
- What relationships could I affect positively today?
- What am I excited about experiencing over the next twelve hours?
Evening:
- What worked well for me today?
- In what ways could I increase my service in the next twenty-four hours?
- What are five of my best achievements so far?
- Who could I encourage or appreciate tomorrow?
- What blessings surround me?
