The Gift of Gratitude!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today is a day to give thanks and it is our yearly reminder to express gratitude every day!
Giving thanks is a way of expressing gratitude. When you express gratitude, you are open to viewing the positive things that happen in life. The more you express gratitude, the more the universe will send your way. The more you alter your energetic field so that you can attract more of what you desire to you.
Quite often one may get stuck in their desires and wants and forget to express how grateful you are for everything thus far. When you focus on not having something, you manifest more of not having it. Instead, you need to focus on what you do have, what you appreciate, what you enjoy and love. This aids in raising your vibration and sustaining it in a place that you enjoy and love. From the power of love, in a place of expressing gratitude, one can attain anything!
Focus on Love, not Lack.
If you focus on lack, then you are not in that higher vibration of love. You are in fact, in the vibration of lack. If you focus on what you don’t have, you are focusing on the lower vibrational emotions of non-fulfillment. You will continue to manifest more of the non-fulfillment energy in your life. So flip it with gratitude.
Power of Gratitude
There is so much power in gratitude. It has the power to keep you in a vibration that allows you to see the opportunities in life. It gives you the power to understand the lessons that automatically come with your human experience. To rise above your challenges so that you can always find a solution that brings you more joy in your life. It is a frequency that is necessary for manifestation of your heart’s desire. It keeps you resonating in the higher frequencies of your desire.
When you acknowledge what you are grateful for, then more greatness comes!
On Thanksgiving Day, it is natural for you to think of what you are thankful for. But do you focus on creating time for gratitude every day? I suggest you try it. Take five minutes out of your day. Detach from the chaos of life for those few minutes. Allow yourself the opportunity to find greatness in each day. Journal what you are grateful for. The act of journaling anchors it into this reality.
There are days in which it is easy to focus on what one is thankful for, and then there are days in which it is a little more difficult to do so. Make sure you don’t forget the little things. There is always something to be grateful for even if it seems small.
Being Grateful for the Lesson!
When I focus on gratitude, I often think of the lessons that I have moved through and the understanding of what I was learning. I look to how the lesson applied itself in my life and then quietly express gratitude to the universe for the learning. It does not mean that I enjoyed the experience of the lesson, in fact most of the time I do not enjoy it. But I will raise my energy above the hardship of the lesson and gain understanding of what I have learned. Once it is learned, I am grateful for the learning. I am grateful that I learned it with less difficulty than it could have been. I am grateful for how it has shaped me into a better version of myself.
There may be times in which you view some lessons in which you think you are less of a person than who you were before it, but keep in mind that is only temporary. There is always the potential to continue the learning process and shift one-self into a higher vibration than what you were prior to learning the lesson. One needs to alter their vibration, to raise it. Sometimes, we need to travel back before we can travel forward in life.
A friend of mine once said “Everything is a present, if you know how to unwrap it!”
When you focus on gratitude you are focusing on the energy that you desire to attain in life. It will shift your energetic experience so that you can attain more of what you desire.
This Thanksgiving, start a new way of expressing thanks on a daily level, not just once a year. On this one day a year, celebrate all your achievements, but don’t forget to celebrate them every day leading up to this one day.
Keep expressing the gift of gratitude and raise your vibration!
