Gratitude has changed my life … really, truly and completely.
Gratitude, forgiveness and love are the three most powerful feelings I know.
When I started to focus on the feeling of gratitude, even when I was not feeling grateful, I noticed changes in my life.
First, I noticed that choosing to be in gratitude and focus on all that I have to be grateful for makes everything in life look better. Choosing to focus on the positive of gratitude, even when I do not feel positive, has been transforming for me.
Years ago I decided that when I first woke up in the morning I would turn my thoughts to what I am grateful for, instead of what I have to do in the day ahead of me. Before that, I would wake up and go to “problem solving” in my day, sometimes for problems that did not even exist! Using the power of my mind and focusing my energy on the possible negative did not serve me in creating the life I desired.
One day, much to my surprise, after consistently focusing on gratitude in the morning – I WOKE UP IN GRATITUDE and found that I did not have to guide my mind and feelings to gratitude, I was naturally in gratitude. I love waking up in gratitude. It expands my heart and and increases my feelings of freedom, peace and happiness.
At this very moment, I am grateful for you! I thank you taking time to read this blog. And I’d like to gently offer you a suggestion…
Try doing this for Yourself:
1. Focus on the feeling of gratitude
2. Remember a time when you felt deeply, to-the-point-of-tears grateful.
3. Allow the feeling to increase and expand throughout your body, in and out of all of your cells.
4. From the space of gratitude, focus your thoughts and feelings into what you are currently grateful for in your life. When you are allowing gratitude, you also raise your vibrational energy and emotional feelings.
5. Return to these thoughts and feelings as often as possible during the day. The more you return, the easier it is to immediately experience the feeling of gratitude.
6. When you wake up every morning – focus on gratitude before you start your day.
7. Focus on gratitude for the magnificence of the day ahead of you and the life lessons you have learned.
Enjoy the bliss, daily!
With gratitude for you, especially at this time of Thanksgiving!
