So how do you bring more gratitude into your life? First of all, look around you. Do you have a roof over your head? Do you have food to eat? Are you able to keep warm? These are basic human needs that, if you have them met, you are among the luckiest people on this earth. Many people on this planet do not have these very basic needs filled. So be grateful.
What else do you have in your life? Family you love? Friends you enjoy being with? Pets that are always there for you? A job? Health? What do you have in your life that you can be grateful for? Everyone can find things to be grateful for in their life. You can also be grateful for living in the country you live in, the weather, your favorite television program. You see, it doesn’t matter where you start, just start to crank up the gratitude machine!
The more gratitude you feel, the more you will find in your life to be grateful for. So, this week, spend at least 5 minutes a day in gratitude, and this week I highly suggest you do this first thing in the morning. You can do this sitting in meditation, or walking the dog, it does not matter what your body is doing as long as you feel the gratitude in your heart. Each day, pump it up! Feel it more and more, you can be grateful for the same things each day, or different things, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is cranking up that gratitude machine so you have the grease you need to create a better life.
