The Facets of Gratitude<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are you grateful for right now?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

List three things here and now.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

* I am grateful for the leeks I pulled out of the garden for lunch and the organic farmer who gave me the leek plants.<\/h4>\n

* I am grateful for my darling cats who bring me so much love and joy \u2013 Diego, Beauty, Bianca and Harry Potter.<\/h4>\n

* I am grateful for You, for reading this.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

When you are grateful or thankful your awareness shifts to the abundance you have in your life, steering you away from thoughts of lack. There are so many things, big and small, we can be grateful for in our lives.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s good to be in a state of gratitude, regularly stating gratitude on a daily basis and being aware of what you can be thankful for. Indeed, it\u2019s a good idea to keep a gratitude journal. When you have pages witnessing your gratitude you will shift your awareness to an ever expanding field. You will be more at peace and happier and more positive. You may be healthier physically too. Experiments have shown a link to better health or healing with gratitude journaling.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Develop a daily ritual of gratitude. When you really reflect, there are so many things for which to be grateful. Even when you appear to be having a bad day, when you write say, at least three things that you are grateful for, you can raise your spirits. When you are having a less than happy day, you can lighten your mood by looking back over the previous entries in your journal, and be reminded of the good in your life and the abundance. It has a great positive effect on you.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Be grateful even for what seem to be negative judgements, feeling of lack, pain\u2026because they are showing you what you really desire and you can then set the intention to go beyond that feeling, to grow. You may desire it all and some! LOL. Seriously, desire beyond that.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

When you are asking for your desires, I suggest that you don\u2019t say \u201cplease\u201d (stating that you don\u2019t have whatever you are desiring), but say \u201cthank you\u201d for it as if you already have it, while, at the same time, feeling what it is like to have it.<\/h4>\n

On a financial level, paying bills in a state of gratitude is important. Following the Law of Attraction, you make room for more money to return\/flow to you. When you are grateful you expand your awareness and open to receive more blessings.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

On a positive note, through a state of gratitude you can look at all situations in a different way. For any issues or challenges gratitude can calm you, lead you away from stress and your thinking could be expanded and opened to different solutions.<\/h4>\n

Gratitude, your path to happiness<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ultimately, what we are all looking for is happiness. I will share a quote with you from Denis Waitley:<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

\u201cHappiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.\u201d<\/em><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Gratitude is a major \u201cpathway\u201d to happiness. Simply put, it expands your awareness, puts you into flow and connects you to Grace. You move away from complaining when you are focusing on the positive in your life. Your energy field expands and you draw more positivity to you. Your heart will be opened and you will be so much happier.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step into happiness from a state of gratitude\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve prepared a little document – Start Your Day with Gratitude<\/a> – for you to download with suggestions for your daily gratitude ritual for inspiration on your \u201cpath\u201d to happiness and practicing gratitude effortlessly. Enjoy!<\/h4>\n
