Gratitude
What does practicing Gratitude mean to you? That you say Thank You to those who have done something for you? Or is it a feeling of thankfulness? How do you know you are really experiencing gratitude, in every cell of your body? What results are you gaining from being grateful?
There are days when we wake up feeling naturally grateful for everything in life; we feel present, peaceful and in synch with the universe, without fear. Everything seems so perfect and the meaning of life so clear.
So how do we manage to maintain that state of gratitude as our day begins and the challenges of the current world in which we live whip us out of our hearts and into our heads to stay there for most of the day? It’s a challenge to remain in a state of gratitude when the traffic is heavy, you have far too many emails and meetings to attend to and a sense of busyness that keeps you focused on a frenetic energy rather than a calm and centred energy. What fascinates me is how powerful a minute of quiet thought and reflection can be. And it takes only that – a minute, if you are willing.
When we move to a mind-set of gratitude by practicing it throughout the day, our perception of reality is altered and when we take the time to feel the gratitude we can begin to feel centred and manifest what we want in life far more easily than before.
