9 Things To Include In Your Gratitude Exercise Today
Gratitude is one of the most powerful weapons in our arsenal for creating the life we want to live — it helps us raise our vibrations, gives us perspective on our problems & helps attract more of what we want into our lives. Using a gratitude exercise once a day can also improve mental health & wellbeing, here’s a few things to include:
1. Sight — we begin each day by opening 2 gifts, our eyes. Giving thanks for our ability to see the beauty of the world around us is a great way to start the day with some positive thoughts.
2. Health — give thanks for a functioning body. Gratitude for the bodily functions we have allows us to appreciate what we are capable of. This encourages us to take care of our bodies with nourishing foods & exercise.
3. Loved ones — the positive energy we surround ourselves with. Showing appreciation for the people we love will strengthen the relationships we have with them & allow us to focus on the energy we want to surround ourselves with rather than that which we’ve moved away from.
4. Life — each breath is a reminder that we are alive. It can be easy to take this life for granted when problems arise, but it’s important to keep in mind that we are blessed to be having this human experience.
5. Technology — information is at our fingertips. The internet has connected us all and made it easier than ever for us to gain knowledge that can help us and share our own journeys to help elevate each other.
6. Nature — we are surrounded by beauty. We live in a beautiful world, taking time to appreciate it allows us to clear the mind of the stresses that keep us distracted from the now. Give thanks to the trees for the oxygen they give us and give thanks to the birds for their songs.
7. Experience — take the good with the bad. All experiences have something to teach us, without these experiences we would not be who we are today — give thanks for the lessons learned along the way.
8. Love — the cure for all negativity. Appreciating the love we have in our lives — especially our love for ourselves — invites more of it into our lives. Focusing on the love in our lives takes our attention away from negativity and minimises its influence on us.
9. Air — the life force energy. Taking long, deep breaths in & out sends a signal to the universe that we are in abundance — instead of short, sharp breaths that can stimulate our fight or flight response and send the signal fear & scarcity. Living in the state of abundance attracts more of what we have.
Gratitude is the best attitude.
Peace & positive vibes.
