8 Steps of Gratitude That Will Change Your Life
1. Appreciate everything. Even that which you judge as bad, wrong, and painful.
2. Express gratitude for every single moment of your life. The more you create feelings of appreciation and gratitude, the more you will attract into your life which you can appreciate and for which you can feel gratitude.
3. Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations in which we can exude. Look for things for which you can be grateful. Play the grateful game by yourself or with others, take turns saying what you are grateful for.
4. Start a gratitude journal. Every Thanksgiving, as a family, we get out our gratitude journal and write 1,000 things for which we are grateful. We number from one to 1,000, leave it on the kitchen counter with a pen, and family members and friends are invited to write in it as often as they would like. It usually takes us between a week and 10 days to get to 1,000.
5. If you pray, thank God for believing in you, for giving you the agency to create your life, and for remembering your truth.
6. Thank all the people who have shown up in your life to play their parts for you.
7. Write a thank-you note once a week to someone to express your appreciation for them.
8. Most importantly, appreciate yourself for what you are remembering and for the joys you are creating
These simple steps of gratitude address the core issues that most people struggle with at a deeper level of their being. Putting a daily focus on these moments of thanks will shift your core vibration which allows greater shifts in your life.
Remember, you do have the power to change anything in your life. Whether the actual event changes or you change your response and perception, both create a new experience. And the first big step to making use of that power is by showing gratitude for your life. Be accountable first, and great change will follow!
