Five Things I Tell Myself Everyday in 2022

“I have found it impossible to be unhappy while I am grateful. So gratitude is my life hack for happiness.”

It is always a pleasure welcoming a familiar voice back to The Jody Maberry Show after a two-year hiatus. My good friend Jeff Noel joins for a tradition that has had a surprising influence on my mindset. He keeps five cards on his desk, each with quotes that focus on gratitude, appreciation, and excellence throughout the year. This tradition has nudged me to reflect on my own approach to living in the present.

One of the things we both felt were important as we looked at our quotes it is to forgive ourselves and appreciate what we have, even when things don’t go as planned. Jeff shared his journey through unforeseen challenges and how he maintained gratitude despite the circumstances. It was a powerful reminder of the resilience and positivity we can create when we do it with intention.

These conversations with Jeff haver really helped my own practice of being present. I’ve been better about recognizing the smaller, everyday moments we often take for granted. Spending time with Jeff in Glacier National Park really highlights this idea. We get to connect over the nature around us and the simplicity of being in the moment.

Every day is a gift to be embraced. There is no doubt that Jeff has helped me improve the way I look at the impact of my mindset. It is safe to say that I am excited about the year ahead. You should give it a try too. See how maintaining small, intentional shifts can lead to extraordinary growth and fulfillment.
