Your Gratitude Journey

Your Gratitude Journey


If you've been following the law of attraction you'll have no doubt come across the idea of gratitude.It seems like a lofty ideal to many, especially implementing it into one's life.Read on as I reveal a more realistic view of allowing and connecting with the power of gratitude.There's a good chance if you're reading this article right now, you have every reason to be grateful.The fact that you have access to a computer means you are very privileged to have electricity in your home or work.There are approximately 3 billion people on the planet living below the poverty line.At the time of writing this, the world's population is 6,889,700,000.A staggering figure of people are living below $2.50 a day.Gratitude means being grateful for what you have right NOW.It doesn't means that if I have "x" tomorrow or when I become "y" tomorrow I will be grateful.No, it means recognising what you have in your life at this moment is a result of the thoughts, beliefs and energy you have created to allow you to be who and what you are.Being grateful does not mean comparing oneself to others who are less fortunate; for we all have our own journey in life.People often ask me "how can I be grateful when people are homeless and dying in third world countries?" My reply is simply this. it is your purpose to be grateful NOT for what is happening in the world, but what is happening in YOUR world.Can you imagine what can happen if every person in the world raised their vibration and energy level to one of gratitude? Our collective consciousness would expand and end poverty, homelessness and other diseases and illnesses.Mahatma Gandhi said is so eloquently - "Be the change you want to see in the world." Start with simply things to be grateful for everyday and watch your energy rise.You begin attracting circumstances into your life as though each event was a miracle.People, places, things begin showing up almost instantly to remind you that you energy level is expanding in the right direction.I can find a million things to be grateful for each day.Here's a brief list which resonates for me on a daily basis; I would encourage you to come up with your own list. my health, my family and friends, having food to eat each day, money in the bank, doing a job I love and touching the lives of people, having a home, the clothes I wear, the opportunities I create, my connection to spirit, the love in my heart, the safety and security that surrounds me.I have written a number of articles on raising consciousness and how doing so can impact your life and the lives of thousands of people.Gratitude is part of the same family.Practise regularly, everyday - especially when you're having a bad day.I teach my clients to begin with gratitude for their current state of health and wellness each and every day - before they embark on their journey of weight loss in fact.How can you possibly work in harmony with your body when you're in opposition to it? You must align to the same frequency which nature operates on - the frequency of love.Life reminds us in no uncertain terms, how grateful we are when we see others doing it tough or when we're going through our own hardship.There is light at the end of the tunnel, for as sure as the season's change, so too will your circumstances when you begin to live in congruency with your highest self.So begin your journey of gratitude - a simple thank you to the universe as you retire to bed each night is a good starting point.Often when I lay my head down to rest at night, I think about the homeless person my age, sleeping outside in the cold somewhere.That thought alone ignites a deep, powerful sense of thankfulness for having a comfortable, warm bed to sleep in - I feel safe and a renewed trust that I am loved and cared for.Adopt an attitude of gratitude by extending love and kindness to others who are less fortunate than you.Expect nothing in return.In fact, perform random acts of kindness anonymously; leaving your favourite book at a coffee shop on a table with a message.One of my favourite acts of kindness is leaving a full fee train ticket at the entrance to the train station, so the next passenger doesn't have to buy their ticket.Send peaceful thoughts to others; stop judging whom you deem different to you in size, colour or appearance.An attitude of gratitude starts with kind and loving thoughts.It extends out into the universe and is reflected back in multiple ways.Start today - raise your vibration and energy.An amazing life awaits you when you begin tuning in to the frequency of gratitude.
