Gratitude can go such a long way in helping to change our outlook on life. I always say, what we focus on expands. If we are in constant worry, fear, doubt or thinking about lack, that is exactly what will show up in our lives.
I love the thought of a gratitude journal. Taking just a few minutes as we wake up in the morning or as we fall asleep at night, to remember all of our blessings and the things that we are grateful for can make a big difference. As I go to sleep thinking about those wonderful things, my dreams and thoughts are happy and peaceful.
Manifesting has never come so easy when I am in constant thoughts of my blessings and there being an abundance for everyone. So here’s a little challenge for anyone who is ready to feel more joy, peace and contentment.
First rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most joyful, peaceful and content. Then for the next 3 days, write 3 things in your gratitude journal that you are grateful for each day. Focus on those things for just a few minutes both morning and night. Check in with yourself on day 4 and rate yourself again from 1-10 on how joyful, peaceful, and content you feel. I think you will be surprised how quickly and easily you will be able to get that number to raise up to a perfect 10.
I love this quote by Melody Beattie. “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.”
I want to wish you all a happy, safe and joyous Thanksgiving.
