With Thanksgiving right around the corner, “Gratitude automatically becomes the new Attitude” in November. And rightfully so.
As a Life Coach, I’ve seen firsthand the positive effects gratitude can have on a person’s life. This is why I personally make this a part of my daily ritual.
While Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year to have this change of heart or perspective, please remember that you always have reasons to be thankful each and every day of the year.
I realize life can be challenging at times and can seem very unfair. But the fact that you are here, right now, reading this, tells me that you want to find more ways to appreciate all that life gives you.
In order to do that, you must first understand there will always be a balance in life. To appreciate the good, you must walk through the bad. To feel love, you must endure sadness. This balance will always exist so it is up to you to find a way to stay on the positive side of every situation.
How do you do that? One way is to create a sacred space to hold your positive and inspiring thoughts of gratitude as you move through each day. By doing this, you will hold on to the amazing energy manifesting from your positive thoughts and keep them close to you.
Supplies you will need to create your jar:
*Glass jar
*Ribbon, colored paper, etc.
*Cut up paper to write your gratitude on
*Heaps and heaps of gratitude
Instructions on how to fill your jar:
1) Sit in a quiet place and take a few deep breaths.
2) Ask yourself, “What I am grateful for today?” and then pause.
3) As a thought presents itself, take one piece of paper, write it down, fold it and put it into your jar. (Optional: Put a date on each gratitude sheet)
4) When you are done with all your current gratitude thoughts, put the jar by your bed side.
5) Then every evening before you go to bed, go through steps 1-3 again.
6) Repeat everyday for 30 days.
At the end of 30 days, it will be time to revisit all the amazing things that have brought you joy or happiness in your life. Find a quiet place again, sip on your favorite hot chocolate or tea, and read each piece of paper again to yourself.
As you fill your heart with beautiful thoughts and love over and over again, you will start to expand yourself and your energy fields to embrace and accept more gratitude into your life. If you hadn’t noticed, the more you are grateful for what you have, the more you are given to be grateful for.
This is the natural course of the Law of Attraction (like attracts like). So whatever you want “more” of in your life, this is where your focus must be and stay.
And since gratitude is an attitude and therefore contagious, feel free to share your experience with others (your partner, children, best friends, etc.) If you can help one other person find more things to be grateful for, the world will automatically become a more loving and peaceful place.
Love and blessings,
Dina Marie Blas
