Gratitude is an everyday practice that can generate unbelievable amounts of positivity in our lives.
It is so easy to take gratitude for granted. But there are so many things we all have which we can be thankful for, and this is an incredible creator of amazing things.
The spirit of Thanksgiving is expressing gratitude for our family, friends, and loved ones. I would suggest it holds a far greater depth, however. This is a chance to not just give thanks, but to really feel it, to take it into our hearts and into our souls.
I know that a lot of upsetting things are happening out there. The President and his accomplices continue to be appalling, unsympathetic monsters; and there are numerous other awful happenings in the world. Still, we have a great deal of things for which we can and should express our gratitude.
Like attracts like. Consciousness creates reality. When we are grateful for that which we have, we draw even more to us. And no matter what your circumstances, there are always things we can be grateful for.
We are alive. You and I are breathing. If you are reading this you have access to technology that enhances your life and connects you with many people around the globe. You have the ability with which to read this. These are not just minor things, they are things for which to be grateful.
This is not the first time I have written about gratitude. But it is so deeply important to conscious reality creation – and more than that, our individual wellbeing – it bears repeating.
Being grateful for things in our lives, big or small, feels good, and draws more good things towards us to feel good about.
Real, honest, genuine thanks is pure positivity.
Practice gratitude constantly
This is not something for occasional practice. Gratitude is not meant for a special time or occasion. It is also not just something to practice daily. No matter how awful your day is going, or the circumstances of your present moment, there is something you can be grateful for.
We all have trials and tribulations where this seems like a total lie. Stuff is going badly, everything is going wrong, you are experiencing pain, be it physical or emotional. Life keeps seemingly handing you one no-good rotten experience after another, again and again.
Despite this, there are still things for which to be grateful. Water to splash your face to clear your head. Air to breathe deeply to calm your racing heart. The friend you have been texting with all day because that jerk dumped you. You can feel grateful that you have your health, your heart, your head and the ability to be.
Even a little gratitude goes a long ways. It is a variable tool that can be sized, shaped and adjusted to build almost everything else in our lives. The positivity that comes from employing gratitude can make a huge difference in our ability to face each day, and manifest the best lives possible.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude for you. Thank you for being.
Finding positivity is not hard, but it does require action.
Knowing that gratitude can be employed to make us feel better and improve our beings in numerous ways, at nearly any time, we can make use of this incredible tool to live fuller lives. When we express how we are grateful for things, no matter their size, it only ever makes us feel good…and when we feel good, we empower ourselves. When we feel empowered, we often spread that feeling to others around us, and as such can build more positive feelings. We can use the positive feelings this generates to dissolve negative feelings. When we take away negative feelings, we open up space to let in positive feelings, and that is something we can be grateful for. Gratitude leads to happiness. Happiness is the ultimate positive attitude. Positive attitude begets positive energy, and that is always a good thing.
