Live in Gratitude!

As the year ends, we are coming into the holidays. A time of stress, chaos and joy. Last week we had the holiday of Thanksgiving, a time to gather with family and friends to share a meal and a reminder to give love, kindness and generosity to each other. As we enter into the month of December, we should send waves of gratitude and abundance to all around us so that we can bring in the new year with a positive mindset. 

We use the words “thank you” throughout the day, but what does it really mean? It means creating a deeper connection with the divine within ourselves and others.

The more we incorporate “thank you” in our conversations it enhances our manifestation, raises our internal vibration and creates positive outcomes. It affirms faith and trust which puts us into a receptive mode allowing more  blessings to flow into our lives. It’s a quiet acknowledgment of appreciation. 

Gratitude helps us see the silver lining in challenging moments and shifts our focus to the good versus the lack. Whether you speak it aloud, journal it or say it silently, it’s a moment of being fully present and conscious to the good around us. The universe feels the emotion that you’re emanating and mirrors it back. Gratitude can be expressed in words, feelings or a smile and gives us moments of inner peace. 

Gratitude transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary connecting us to all that is. 

In the next 30 days, I challenge you to use the words “thank you” more and more throughout the day and take a moment to see how it feels. 

Examples of saying thank you:

• Upon awakening  say 10 things that you are grateful for and why you appreciate them.

• Night time before sleep, say 10 things that you are  grateful for that happened to you throughout the day.

• When walking or driving, notice 10 things that you are grateful for whether it’s the trees, the breeze, sun, the birds, etc.

• Thank 2024 for showing you any challenges that you have overcome to be where you are today.

• Thank the opportunities that are coming your way because it makes you feel excited.

• Thank the connection with loved ones living or in memory. 

• Thank everyone you meet as there are no coincidences and they’re in your life for a reason.

• Thank the money that you spend and the money that you receive.

• Thank the food and water that you eat and drink.

• Thank your home for the roof over your head and bless your life  with health, wealth, happiness. 

• Set a timer on your phone for every 3 to 4 hours and take time to appreciate that moment.

The list can be endless. The more you practice the more you will notice what you are grateful for. It creates a habit. 

I would like to take this moment to say a big thank you, thank you,  thank you to all of you! I’m so grateful and thankful to be able to share my thoughts with you and to have you all in my life! There are no coincidences. 

In gratitude, Tina
