What is all the fuss about Gratitude…?

Two hands on sunsut.
Being grateful for something as simple as a sunset… a daily dose of magic…

Gratitude is a word that seems to be becoming a bit of an ‘it’ word of today… and just quietly – rightly so! Before I go on – let me first explain a wee little bit about how our brain works when it’s in search mode…
When our brain is searching for how we are going to react to something it is a bit like a raffle – the more tickets you have the more chances you have of winning.
Same goes here – the more positive experiences, feelings and thoughts you have the more chances of your brain choosing one of those as the way you react to whatever is happening in your life. When we intently feel and show gratitude for what we currently have – It’s like buying the whole book of tickets…

To achieve any dream or a goal – you absolutely need to be able to see, imagine and most importantly FEEL what that dream or goal will be like in reality – this is true BUT there is more to it than that – you also have to be GRATEFUL for what you have right now! Not just fake it till you make it grateful – GENUINE and heartfelt gratitude. I’m not saying you need to feel this way about everything in your life but you MUST find something – even if what that is simply being grateful for your ability to still want the dream even when it feels like a million miles away right now…

The best time is right before you go to bed so you drift off to sleep in the with gratitude literally on your mind. – Write down at least 3 things you are grateful for… You might call this your journal or you might just have a piece of paper in your bedside drawer – whatever the case may be – the important part is what you write – if this is difficult for you – start with something really simple like the ocean, or the stars or the fact that we have electricity to have a hot shower…

Can you name at least 3... Don't stop there if you can!
Can you name at least 3… Don’t stop there if you can!

The more you are grateful for now – the more of those types of things the universe will send your way… It’s the law of physics – Albert Einstein once said “Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it, Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality, It can be no other way – this is not philosophy – this is physics”

Truly acknowledging and feeling grateful for what you have today NOURISHES your soul….

Till next time…
