“If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.”
~ Buddha
Inner Peace Tool ~ Gratitude
Sometimes we get so caught up in the little things that we become overwhelmed. There's always "not enough" of something: time, money, love, appreciation...the list goes on. But what if we could change that, easily and without effort? What if this easy "fix" also acts as a catalyst to attract more positive things in our lives?
Count your Blessings with Gratitude.
Anywhere, anytime. On your way to work stressing that you're 10 minutes behind? Take one minute to focus on something you are grateful for, I can think of 5 very easily for you:
1. The car you're driving
2. The gas in the tank
3. Your hands with all your fingers to steer the car
4. Your healthy eyes to be able to see the road
5. The fact that you're almost to work, without an accident!
“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.”
~ Buddha
I promise this will have an amazing effect. An "Attitude of Gratitude" will show you how much you DO have, and because of the Law of Attraction, you will attract more and better Blessings to you. Going through your Gratitude Checklist, you will quiet your thoughts and become more focused on the Now. Your mental dialogue will slow down, letting Peace drift in. It will prevent your Mind from "making up" stories to fill in the gaps of worry and negative thinking.
“What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life.”
~ Oprah Winfrey
Simple Tools to Remember Gratitude
I read about a woman who used her mala beads to count her blessings. There are 108 beads on a mala so it gave her time to focus on each blessing – one bead at a time. She got to the point that even if she saw the mala beads, they would act as a visual reminder to say "Thank you."
In the movie "The Secret," there was a story of a "Gratitude Stone." It was simply a stone that a man carried around with him. According to the movie, this man put the stone in his pocket every morning, and while doing so, he thought of all the things he was grateful about. Every night, he would take the stone out of his pocket again, and again he would feel gratitude for events in his life.
“Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.”
~ Margaret Cousins
