With Thanksgiving upon us, many folks are reminded to express their gratitude. Businesses send cards thanking their customers. Families say grace over the Thanksgiving meal. And we are grateful to share a repast with friends and family. This is wonderful, but gratitude should not be a once-in-a-while expression. It should be a part of everyday living, a way of living…
If we live in gratitude, we:
- Enhance our direct connection with the divine or the Universal source that provides all
- Increase our potential for and attraction of abundance
- Improve the relationships we have with those around us
- Give a blessing to whomever we show, demonstrate or express our thanks
- Feel better about receiving and accepting the gifts provided by the Universe
- Raise our personal frequency and our ability to manifest faster
- Raise the frequency of the planet
What are some of the ways you can more effectively live in gratitude? And to increase the Gratitude Quotient on the planet?
Consider the following:
1. Start your day or close your day with a list of things, people and experiences for which you are grateful. Express this as a prayer or blessing.
2. Keep a “Gratitude Journal” listing all things for which you are grateful.
3. Tell each individual that aids or services you, not just “thank you,” but how grateful you are.
4. Help any children you know to understand the importance of gratitude and to practice it.
5. Write notes of gratitude to people – especially when they don’t expect it.
6. Always arrive with a gift of gratitude when someone has invited you to their home or to some event. If you cannot afford to buy a gift, make one!
7. Bring tokens of gratitude to your co-workers at least once a month.
8. Send birthday cards to people you care about with expressions of how grateful you are to have them in your life. This can be by mail or be email.
9. Share your gratitude not just with those to whom you are grateful, but with others who know them, so that the recipient knows that you are proud to sing his or her praises.
10. Go on a Gratitude Journey—Take a walk, a bike ride, or a cross country ski trip in the outdoors and just allow your heart to express your gratitude at the beauty and at all things in your life.
11. Do a Gratitude Survey—Survey your amazing body and mind, and offer gratitude for each and every part. Don’t forget your smile!
12. Be thankful for the Universe itself! For without this great force of energy and spirit, you would not exist today as the grateful being you are.
Happy Thanksgiving! May your Gratitude Overflow and All The Abundance for Which to Be Grateful!
