Today is Thanksgiving in the US – a day when we take some time out to remember all that we are thankful and celebrate our friends, family, successes and failures.
I do have what is called a “gratitude journal”. I take some time out whenever I can and think about all the things that make my life so wonderful. Since this is Thanksgiving, I would like to share some of these with you.
I am grateful for
- A loving, growing, nurturing family
- My past – it has made me what I am today
- My future – I know it, as it is what I am going to make of it – and it is wonderful
- The ability to touch so many lives with my projects
- You
A nice thing about stopping to reflect and thank is that it is instantly empowering. It also creates a subtle shift in the mindset and subsequently the words, attitudes and the actions in a way that is at once powerful and helps align external realities to match your vision.
And it is easy to do. You can mentally go through your gratitude list while you are brushing your teeth in the morning or in your shower. Or you can make it a ritual and write it down in your journal every day.
Once you make this a habit, you will start seeing the effects.
- Health, Love and Success to You!
