Transforming Your Life -- Start with Gratitude!

Many people I know want to change their life, or at least aspects of their life.  They've got to a point where they are feeling unfulfilled, empty, restless... the feeling there's got to be more to life than what they are currently experiencing.

Sometimes we don't know where to start to make changes...

If you want to transform your life... a powerful way to begin is with gratitude.

The Law of Attraction begins and ends with gratitude... the more grateful you are the more good things will come into your life.

Often we focus on what is going wrong, what is not happening, what's broken, what's unfulfilling, what's unhealthy, what's lacking in our life... and the Law of Attraction brings more of what you are focusing on into your life.  Simple as that!

What you focus on persists... the Law of Attraction works every second of every day, so why not use the Law of Attraction to bring into your life more of those things you desire.

Be truly grateful for what you have... for what you're experiencing... for what's in your life.  The more grateful you are for what you have, the more you focus on what is working and what is good in your life, the more of these things you will bring in to your life.

It will not fail to work -- the Law of Attraction never fails.

Therefore, spend more time deliberately focusing on expressing gratitude for what is good in your life.  It doesn't have to be a long time, just a few minutes each day is enough to shift your focus from what is lacking to what is good.

Suggestion: for the next 30 days deliberately spend time during the day expressing gratitude.  As you are laying in bed before getting up, or soon after getting up, think about 10 things you are grateful for... begin your day with gratitude.

For example: "I'm grateful for a good night sleep", "I'm grateful having a bed to sleep in".  Include your family, your work, your friends, the flowers you saw, the opportunities you can take up today... comfortable clothing, a hot cup of coffee, the music you are listening to... whatever is going really well in your life at that moment... express gratitude for it!

Be grateful you have the opportunity to begin to create the changes in your life you desire... if you have a job you don't enjoy, be grateful for the opportunity to work on resolving what you don't like in your job or having the opportunity of looking for work elsewhere.

If there is something in your life you don't like... be grateful for the opportunity to create a change.  If, for example, you have problems within your family be grateful for the opportunities to work on them, to do something about them, to resolve them one way or the other.

It's important to express your gratitude often... express gratitude while you're driving, while you're showering, walking, getting dressed, sitting on the bus, driving your car... doing chores... whenever and wherever express your gratitude!

For the last 2 1/2 years I've kept a Gratitude Journal.... one of the first things I do in the morning is write at least 10 different things I'm grateful for.  It doesn't make things happen in my life, that's up to me to do, but what it does it puts me in a different frame of mind, it shifts my focus from potentially negative thoughts to more positive thoughts.  And it does make a difference!

Give it a go... and let me know how it is for you.  Click on the comment link below and share your thoughts about gratitude.  It's always great hearing from you.

Hi Jeanne,

I totally agree, start with SOMETHING to appreciate, something to be grateful, anything, and as one puts their attention on that it grows and builds and attracts more of the same. But the key is to genuinely appreciate something, no matter how small, even if it's the fact that someone smiled at you today or that the sun is shining.

Also when one is focused on gratitude and appreciation and their attention is on that it is in likelihood NOT on the absence or the lack of things as well

Have a great day,
Hemal

Hi Hemal...

Many thanks for your comments -- it was good to hear your thoughts.

Gratitude is probably the easiest way to bring about change in your life... and it doesn't take much other than the awareness to do so.

Warmly
