That one thing is GRATITUDE,
and amazing things happen when you integrate it into your meditation and daily practice. Many of us are so caught up in looking forward to the future, especially in todays super-crazy fast paced life, reaching goals and dreams and can, at times, forget to cherish the things right in front of you, now, at this very moment. While dreams and ambitions are amazing things to want in life and to work towards, don't ever forget to be in the moment, the present and grateful for NOW. Your journey & life is your story, unique to you and no one else can have that, so don't let it pass you by without showing it some gratitude.
Here's a fun exercise to try:
1. As you sit down to meditate, breathe in deeply and begin to give thanks for your life. Give thanks for anything that pops into your head. No filter, just give thanks for it and show it appreciation.
2. Think about five things to be grateful for on this day. See these events as pictures. It may be the way your dog greets you when you get home or that nice person that let you have the parking space in the crowded lot, your family. Just let the images flow in and notice the feelings they give. This is a time for you to turn off all the negativity.
4. Remind yourself that whatever you focus on expands. When you focus on gratitude and positivity, you will get more of that in return. Usher in what you are wanting to come into your life
What you appreciate, appreciates.
This is one of the truest things I have ever heard. What you appreciate, appreciates. Be mindful that you will attract more abundance, love, and health by being grateful for your current state in these areas. Your body, your health, and your relationships can only be improved by honoring where they are in this moment. Enjoy this wild journey we call life and be sure to soak up each moment!!
