When life gets rough, it's hard to concentrate on the good things in life. But, that is when the power of gratitude is most important. Learning to focus on what you have instead of what you don't have will change your life. Learn how to keep that gracious attitude even when it's not easy.
Gratitude is Important
When you look at life in a grateful manner, your perspective on a lot of things begins to change. For instance, you:
Look at faults as potential blessings. It's easy to lay blame at someone else's feet and leave it there. It is a lot harder to look past someone's mistakes and see their potential. That goes for your mistakes too.
Look at people with new eyes. People are seen for whom they are and not the sum total of their possessions or their character traits. Living in harmony with others fosters a happy fulfilled life.
Don't pass judgment on yourself or others. See people for who they are and have the potential to be. Praise them and be grateful for their strengths.
Look at your own life and show mercy to others. Be grateful for the chance to change someone's life.
Look at what you do have and be grateful. Concentrating on the positives in your life attract more positive energies. How is that? Whatever you cultivate in your life will begin to grow. If you want a good life, change your focus.
Gain Gratitude Abundance in your Life
Become aware of what you are grateful for. A gratitude journal is a great way to begin. This practice helps you become aware of all of the blessings in your life-from the very breath you take each and every second to the food on your table, the people in your life and the nature around you. We each have an abundance of blessings unique to our own lives and experiences. When you begin to recognize yours, you'll see how they far outweigh the challenges both in number and in importance.
Practice. No one becomes grateful overnight. It takes time and consistency to develop an attitude of gratitude. Instead of falling asleep worrying about your challenges, concentrate on the people and situations in your life that you are grateful for so you can get a good night's rest and wake refreshed and without a care in the world.
Incorporate it into your daily life. There are many rituals you can incorporate into your life and your daily routine to bring gratitude abundance into your life. Gratitude jewelry, journals, rituals like taking a bath every night or having a massage weekly, meditation and good food and friends also help us recognize and celebrate the positive.
Help others. There's little which is more profound and positive than to offer help to others. Something as simple as paying a toll for the person behind you, holding a door, and larger things like volunteering at the homeless shelter all help you to feel not only good about yourself but good about the world.
Clear away those things which are not important to you. Finally, to invite more gratitude into your life consider removing those things which do not make you feel good. Eliminate those things which make you feel negative about life and which detract from your life.
Gratitude abundance is waiting for you to reach out and embrace it. The choice is yours, invite it in and change your life. - 15615
