Why Gratitude?

It doesn’t matter where you look, the benefits of practicing gratitude are immense.

MANIFESTATION

But by far the most powerful of all of these benefits, is its ability to help you manifest all of the desires in your life.  In fact, the fastest way to manifest anything in your life, is to be grateful for the things you already have in it!

The universe is an extremely powerful being and it matches everything we put out there.  I like to call it a “yes man.”  Whatever you send out into the universe, the universe says “yes, ok,” and send the equivalent back.  So we need to make sure to focus on the good. 

It is actual science that states that the thoughts we choose vibrate at certain frequencies and attract other thoughts, objects and beings that vibrate at that same frequency (hello…Law of Attraction!). It’s no wonder then, that when we practice gratitude daily and focus on the good in our lives, our vibrations attract similar vibrations and more good finds its way in!  If that isn’t reason enough, I’m not sure what is! 

PRACTICING GRATITUDE

So it’s time to start making gratitude practice a daily staple in your life, like brushing your teeth or taking a shower.  It’s not always easy though and it may feel fake at times, but it’s important to not only start, but continually make this an every day habit.

Start where you are. Start small.  Whatever it takes.  Just start.  

Here are 16 ways you can practice gratitude in your life starting today:

1. Give thanks for 5-10 things every morning
