Gratitude can be an incredible healing process. Shifting your perspective from negative self-talk and judgement to appreciation and gratitude can change your field of grace. Here are some ways that I have found helpful in practicing gratitude:
- Keep a Gratitude Journal – make a contract with yourself to find three things you are grateful for every single day
- Look for beauty in the details – a blooming flower, the scent of lilacs on a spring day, a welcoming sunrise.
- Tell uplifting stories
- Practice random acts of kindness
- Tell those you love that you Love them
- If you catch yourself with feelings of frustration or anger, look for the blessing (for example, someone is on their cell phone and runs a red light – bless and feel the gratitude that an accident was avoided . . .don’t give away your energy by feeding the anger)
- Start and end each day with a prayer of gratitude
What ways to you spread gratitude? How has feeling gratitude impacted your life?
Blessings and Grace to all,
