Practicing the art of graciousness is powerful in your life. Focusing on the things you have keeps your mind off of what you don't have in your life. When things go wrong, it's hard to stay focused on those things. But, you can still live graciously.
Why Gratitude is Important
When you look at life in a grateful manner, your perspective on a lot of things begins to change. For instance, you:
See other people in a different light. Instead of counting their faults, you see mistakes as possible blessings. Instead of wasting time on what you don't have, you formulate a plan to use what you do have to move forward.
View others with an open heart rather than a closed heart. This means that you feel compassion for others regardless of whether you have anything in common with them or not. A life filled with compassion is a happy and abundant life.
You will feel less judgmental of others. Gratitude enables you to see past people's mistakes, and your own, and be grateful for their strengths.
Look at your own life and show mercy to others. Be grateful for the chance to change someone's life.
Look at what you do have and be grateful. Concentrating on the positives in your life attract more positive energies. How is that? Whatever you cultivate in your life will begin to grow. If you want a good life, change your focus.
Attaining Gratitude Abundance in your Life
Become aware of what you are grateful for. A gratitude journal is a great way to begin. This practice helps you become aware of all of the blessings in your life-from the very breath you take each and every second to the food on your table, the people in your life and the nature around you. We each have an abundance of blessings unique to our own lives and experiences. When you begin to recognize yours, you'll see how they far outweigh the challenges both in number and in importance.
Practice. Being grateful and inviting gratitude abundance into your life isn't an overnight experience. You don't go to bed one night with the burdens of the world on your shoulders and awake the next day feeling light as a feather with no cares in the world. Gratitude, takes practice.
Find ways to integrate gratitude each day. Develop rituals that usher in gracious feelings within you. It could be as simple as journaling, wearing special gratitude jewelry, getting weekly pampering, or making time for family and friends. Whatever you choose, make it a positive experience.
Help another person. We find deeper meaning in our lives when we make someone else's life better. Volunteer with the homeless, give to charity, or do something nice for a stranger every day.
Clear away those things which are not important to you. Finally, to invite more gratitude into your life consider removing those things which do not make you feel good. Eliminate those things which make you feel negative about life and which detract from your life.
You can attract gratitude to your life if you want it. Learn to embrace your gracious nature and change your life and the lives of those around you. - 15252
