Living the Law of Attraction

What a wonderful feeling to wake up to if we just take a little moment to recognize our gratitude for being alive.

"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive. To breathe, to think, to enjoy and to love."

Take time to be thankful for everything that you have. When you're thankful for what you have, you are always rewarded with more.

We have thousands of opportunities every day to be grateful: for having good weather, to be able to sit in such a beautiful room on such comfortable furniture, to have slept well last night, to be able to get up, to be healthy, to have enough to eat. There's opportunity upon opportunity to be grateful; that's what life is. ~David Steindl-Rast

You are receiving thousands of messages from the Universe every single day. Learn to become aware of this communication from the Universe, who is speaking to you and guiding you in every moment. There are no accidents and no coincidences. Every sign you notice, every word you hear spoken, every color, every scent, every sound, every event and situation is the Universe speaking to you, and you are the only one who knows their relevance to you, and what the communication is saying. Use your eyes to see! Use your ears to listen! Use all of your senses, because you are receiving communication through them all! ~Rhonda Byrne

I believe that living the Law of Attraction is like speaking to the Universe. I have to remind myself whenever possible to choose healthy and positive thoughts. We have to be careful in choosing anything that comes to mind as well as choosing the words we speak. We often have self doubts or negative thoughts that aren't quite true but we allow those thoughts ruin our day because we focus on the negative energy. When we faced with potentially thinking of something or saying negative, we need to STOP ourselves. Acknowledge it and instantly switch to a POSITIVE thought. When I speak to the Universe, I speak to my Higher Power / Creator.

I need to constantly focus on a POSITIVE mental attitude and fill it with gratitude and get the ABUNDANCE energy mode ON. When we started counting our blessings in life rather than our failures, things begin to change because we recognized the things we do have instead of things or goals that we don't succeed. The positive energy would outnumber the countless negativity around us. The simplest way to always be grateful is to tell ourselves with these powerful affirmations: "Ask and You shall receive" and "Once you make a decision, the Universe conspires to make it happen." The universe will give you signs to point you in the right direction. Look for them. Let your heart and your inner person guide you, rather than your mind.

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Ask, Believe and Receive. 

Gratitude in Action

During holiday season, we often take a moment to recognize all of the blessings in our lives. We expressed gratitude on Thanksgiving, we shared joy and gifts on Christmas, and we renew our hopes and dreams for the New Year. We are all blessed in some way and even more blessed when we acknowledge all the goodness in our lives. It's a great reminder to always be grateful and keep our gratitude mode in action ON.

Begin each day with a grateful heart. Gratitude is the gateway to abundance.

Starting out with a "daily gratitude list". What am I grateful for? I am grateful for the abundance in my life. I am grateful for love and support of family and friends. I am grateful for being healthy. I am grateful for everything that made my life so worth living. Begin by choosing a time you can devote to 'being grateful' each day, a time when you can write down something that makes you happy. Simply list down three to ten things that can lift up your spirit and fill your hearts with joy. 

Example of a Daily Gratitude List:

• Sunshine.


• Seeing my daughter's beautiful smile.


• Taking pictures of nature.


• Having a cup of tea and butter cookies.


• Awesome yoga practice.


• Compliments from stranger.


• Leftovers!


• Reading my Facebook newsfeed.


• No bills in the mail today.


• Time to reflect on positives in my life.

 “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” - Melody Beattie

Miracles always are happening around us, we just need to slow down our lives to notice them. Count your blessings one by one. To be happy doesn’t mean you don’t desire more, it means you’re thankful for what you have and patient for what’s yet to come. Find beauty in everything that contributes to your reality and be grateful. Celebrate all that life has to offer with the understanding that nothing that is not supposed to happen will happen...

“Sometimes we get so caught up in seeing what we don’t have, that we fail to notice the little things that give life its magic. The foolish person seeks happiness in the distance; the wise person grows it under her feet. Your life is filled with blessings and achievements, take the time to accept and appreciate these gifts.”- Positive Thoughts

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Living Gratefully... “My life is awesome. I am in gratitude every day for all my blessings.”

Thankfulness

Gratitude is the quality of being thankful and showing appreciation. It is a mindful acknowledgment of all that we have been given. When we focus on the abundance in our lives, we discover a greater capacity for generosity, cheerfulness, and contentment.

Expressing gratitude is a rewarding habit that affirms the grace of the giver. Gratitude opens our hearts, encourages us to savor each gift that comes our way, and magically frees us from jealousy guarding our possessions.

It let us celebrate today rather than waiting for the next level of accomplishment or wealth. It is a reminder that one can always find reason to be glad. 



I hope that this may be instilled in my life and I learn to give thanks on a daily basis; even through the hardest of struggles.

• Thankfulness acknowledge that God is our provider
• Thankfulness connects our spirits to the Source of all joy.
• Thankfulness creates positive outlook on life. 

 "Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel." ~ Unknown

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.
