3 Reasons I'm Nutty About Gratitude

1) It works.

When applied, gratitude works. And if you're like me, you're committed to nothing less than what works.

Actually, life is meant to work. Your life is meant to be fulfilling. You are designed to fulfill what you came for. What did you come for? Identify it and declare it. Then give thanks for it.

When you are grateful, you create a confident disposition, a way of holding life and its unfoldings as if there is something to be thankful for (and there is). But even when you don't feel that what is before you is worthy of thanks (which can be heightened in times of crisis), when you choose to be grateful, you affirm that life is inherently good AND that what you desire is already created.

So, now it is created. You don’t have to see it yet to believe it. Believe it and then you will see it.

Anyway, my point is that it works.

• Decide
• Get Clear
• Believe
• Consistently give thanks

When you do, you will leverage one of the most powerful links to using the Law of Attraction deliberately. You manifest what you want when gratitude is a part of your practice.

2) It feels good.

Feeling bad is over rated. Drama is sensationalized. Victimhood is old school.

You may think it's elementary for me to be pointing out to do something that feels good. But you know, so many people are making choices that feel bad. And then, they keep paying attention to the situations that make them feel bad, complaining about what is wrong!

You can't create what you want by continuing to focus on what makes you feel bad.

And you can't attract what you desire by continuing to feel bad. When you feel bad you vibrate at a lower frequency, which means you are not able to attract something beyond your status quo.

In fact...

You continue to attract more of the same.

Gratitude is a consciousness. It vibrates at a very high frequency. So when you choose to direct your attention toward gratitude, you shift your frequency and you start to feel good.

Yep, it can be that simple.

3) The world needs TLC.

I’m so ready for a new way of being together. Aren’t you?

Poverty, oppression, unnecessary suffering.

Stick with me here. This really is about feeling good. :)

Let's get real. Sometimes it's hard to feel good in the midst of all that we see around us (and feel in our own lives). The doom and gloom can take its toll, the suffering of our humanity can be depleting and devastating.

Yet there is nothing noble about shrinking from it. It doesn't mean you care more if you feel bad about what is going on.

You cannot change what is by feeling bad about it, fighting it, resisting it or rejecting it.

The best way to help change this world for the better is by simply feeling good. Feeling joy. Feeling peace. Feeling alive. When you are in a state of joy, peace and aliveness, your energy just naturally ripples out.

And how can you get there? You got it!! GRATITUDE.

Be grateful and you WILL be a part of raising humanity to another way of being that ensures that we flourish.

THANK YOU!

Attention: It's All Tumbling Down!

It's all about your attention.

Times are changing. Things are falling apart. Systems are tumbling down.

Where will you place your attention? What will you make it mean?

You can join the "oh my" fear band wagon. It's a giant one. They are taking people right now.

It's tempting, I know. The nigglings of fear that were still left in you can't help but be triggered in times of such uncertainty.

That's good news, though. How?

See, part of the rapid change provides opportunity to clear out. There are things that you will not need to take with you on the next leg of the journey. Old fears, stories, paradigms.... they will be useless to your new life.

These times demand that you get more savvy with placing your attention where you want it.

That is, if you want to be joyful, at peace and free (by all means, do pay attention to the mayhem if you want to).

There are not many things you really have control over in life. A part of personal mastery is getting this. Surrender and let go where you need to. And get in charge where you can.

Usually, people have it the wrong way around. They let their thoughts run them, and they try to change what is around them. You relate?

That is backwards.

Instead, you need to let go of trying to change what is outside of you (i.e. through complaining, advocating, forcing, manipulating, convicing, blaming etc.) and learn how to use the power of your mind.

If you want to reside in a place of possibility in the midst of change and manifest your desires and the beginnings awaiting you, you must:

1) Get clear about what you want- Really clear. Identify and articulate it out loud. No kinda, sorta, would like language. Speak as if it is so.

2) Acknowledge your fears- Feel them. Breath. Release them. Listen, we're human. There will be a time when you can live without fear (REALLY!). Until that time comes, denying your fears will simply compound them. Do let yourself feel and then move on. Remember the move on part, OK? {A tool for releasing fear is EFT.}

3) Choose your attention-Put your mind to work by selecting the kinds of thoughts that help you feel good. If you feel bad, you are thinking a fearful thought. You are designed to feel good. That is your true nature. So, if you feel bad, instead of feeling bad that you feel bad, take it as a sign that your thoughts are in default.

What can you do?

*Create new thoughts.
*Affirm.
*Visualize.
*Surround yourself with thinking and messages that uplift you (i.e. music, inspirational speakers, poems, alive friends)

The dictionary says:

at·ten·tion=

• the act or faculty of attending, esp. by directing the mind to an object.
• a concentration of the mind on a single object or thought, esp. one preferentially selected from a complex, with a view to limiting or clarifying receptivity by narrowing the range of stimuli.
• a state of consciousness characterized by such concentration.
• a capacity to maintain selective or sustained concentration.
  

So....

1. Direct your mind to the object of your desire
2. Concentrate and narrow your range of stimuli to only that which contributes to what you want
3. Create a state of consciousness that helps you attract what you want
4. Establish practices that sustain your concentration on the above

Yep, it's all tumbling down. You get to choose what it will mean.

If you want it to mean that change is natural, chaos is part of the order, new life is born when the old life falls away, and that possibilities exist NO MATTER what is going on around you, be diligent about where you place your attention, making sure it aligns with such a reality.
