Christie Brinkley Says ‘It’s all about gratitude. Count your blessings.’
Today’s Kick Butt Tip of the Day is from model Christie Brinkley. “It’s all about gratitude. Count your blessings.”
For most of us, when we see the name Christie Brinkley, we think of one of the most beautiful women in the world.
In a recent interview with CNBC, Brinkley revealed that her beauty does not come from skin care or a beauty regimen. At 67 years of age, she says “it’s all about gratitude.”
Brinkley said “every day, I take time to count my blessings. Some days can be better than others but by the time I finish counting my blessings, I feel like it is a pretty good day.”

Professor of Psychology at the University of California Davis Robert Emmons says that being grateful really makes a positive difference. He says the practice of gratitude is an excellent habit for our mental health.
For me personally, another idea is to keep a daily gratitude journal. Take a few moments to jot down the events of your day. Down the road, it may amaze at what you were able to get accomplished.
When it comes to entries in my personal gratitude journal, every day I write down things like, how blessed I am to have a home along with a safe place to sleep. I have a car that runs that takes me to a job that pays me a salary that pays my bills and provides money to buy what I need. I could go on and one but you get the idea.
Now, some will scoff at this idea. Let me encourage you to not be one of those people. Take a moment and be grateful.
Go get ’em tiger! God don’t make no junk. You, yes you are awesome! Now go be awesome!
