Gratitude - develop this attitude

Gratitude is a powerful force which is used in the law of attraction and in the science of getting what you desire in your life. The more grateful you are for what you have already received, the easier it is for you to experience new levels of abundance and bring more things into your life.
In this article we consider how you can develop an attitude of gratitude.

Make an Effort to Say Thank You Always

We are generally taught as children to say thank you when someone does something for us but we also often find it easy to begin to take things for granted, especially when something happens regularly. Make an effort not to slip into this attitude of taking things for granted, but to always say thank you no matter how small the thing may be. By doing that, you develop a kind of karma positive bank account. You never know when you may just need it.!!

Keep a Gratitude Journal – this helps a lot and focuses the mind

One of the easiest ways of developing an attitude of gratitude, particularly if you are disciplined, is to develop a gratitude journal and daily note down the things you have to be grateful for.
  I have started this system in my ordinary diary where I also keep my to-do list. At the start of each day I write my to-do list for the day and then as I tick the last item off that I complete I make a list below that of things I have to be grateful for that day. It can be anything small such as a cup of coffee, the bird chirping outside, the mouse in the garden.

Learn to Focus on the Positive within the Negative

We all go through difficult times but within those difficult times you can still learn to focus on the positive and be grateful for the positives in the situation. Learn to appreciate what you had before this event – write it down in your gratitude journal.   You may not be grateful for being sick in a hospital bed for a few weeks but be grateful that you have time when you can be quiet, away from the rush of life and focus on what's important again or learn something new – such as what is the purpose of being here, why did this happen to me – what is the message for me. You may not be grateful for having been laid off from a job but be grateful that new opportunities await you and that you have learnt enough to reach this new stage in your life.

Gratitude is extremely powerful and it is important for us to learn how to be grateful in all circumstances, even when things may not look like they are going well. By doing so we will find it easier to attract into our lives those things that are important to us.

The benefit of gratitude

Gratitude is an attitude that we need to develop. By saying to our partner or our children “Thanks for being in my life” or “Thank you for choosing me to be your parent – I am very grateful for that”. Do you have any idea what it does to that person and then how they feel or respond to you. I have counselled many a client where this was the one thing that they so desperately wanted to hear from someone – “Thank you for being in my life” – it would have made all the difference in that person’s life. They then may not have found it necessary to go and look for it somewhere else or gone and done things to get that recognition even if it is in a negative way.

 
Imagine how the angels above feel when you say thank you to them for something that you have asked to be manifest. They are so delighted that they will then give you more!!!! Imagine that!!!!
