Feeling the gratitude
Let’s talk about gratitude today because lately I’ve been practicing that super hard. Literally starting the day when I went to the spa I started to approach money and gratitude differently. I began to read the book “you are a badass at making money,” by Jen Sincero again because every time you read something you get different things from it especially at different times in your life. And the portion she spoke about gratitude for things like spending money spoke to me on a different level. While at the spa I decided to give gratitude that the money I was spending there was giving others jobs, and helping them pay their bills. I approached it with ever part of my day for the past couple days and you know what happened? That’s right money became attracted to me like the money magnet I am.
When we appreciate the ripples of our actions that is when the cycle of it comes around full circle. I started using confidence in regards to money instead of doubt of ever having it. I got an amazing job offer, and people also came into my life to work for me as well at the new wellness Studio. All because the gratitude and acceptance to receive it back. Who knew right? That is why it’s so important to truly feel gratitude on a deeper layer. I’m not talking about oh I’m grateful for this or that or this person and that’s it. I want to know why are you grateful for it?
Like for example, I am so grateful for my boyfriend because he see’s me for who I am and uplifts me daily. This kind of admiration and appreciation makes me shine and feel seen and more confident. This in turn makes me feel courageous to start pushing myself harder than before because I know that he is in my corner no matter what.
See how I didn’t just stop and say I am grateful for him and that’s it. When you talk about gratitude I want you to express why you are grateful. What chain events follow because of the gratitude you feel. Today I went and bought myself and my boyfriend a coffee, while there I was so grateful to be able to spend my money at this coffee shop. I was grateful that my money gave someone a job and that the shop is in walking distance of my apartment. I was grateful that they allowed me to bring my dog in while I spent money in their establishment. I started to think about others, rather than think just about myself.
That is what separates real gratitude from just some fluff you say. You think about others and are able to extend yourself past just you. Thinking about how your actions like spending money at a coffee shop supplies others with jobs that allows them to pay their rents and bills. Which allows them to live in todays world well that is just magic. It shows the true effects of gratitude because it’s not meant to be some linear thing. It’s this complex all over the place thing, and by standing in a place of true gratitude you raise yourself up to a place of abundance. It helps you to see that you can welcome it in and accept it in return.
So I really want you to think about the things your grateful for. Now think about how they effect your life, other’s lives. I’m grateful for my car. It’s mine and I owe nothing on it, and it gets me to work. I’m so grateful that my transportation allows me to get to work so that I can help heal them. I’m grateful because it brings me to my clients and they honor me with their presence and an exchange of energy. You see how that transformed from just a car into so much more. How it effects so much more than just being a car?
This is the challenge I have for you. I want you to change your mindset for tomorrow. Start tonight, right now. I want you to write down how amazing your day will be tomorrow. Then tomorrow I want you to appreciate everything. NO COMPLAINING!! If you work, appreciate that your job provides you with real experience and a paycheck. Maybe you are grateful for the people you work with. Maybe you are grateful for the fact your job is next to that amazing taco place and you totally are going to get tacos tomorrow for lunch. Then show gratitude that you get to spend money on awesome food and help pay for someone else’s salary. Maybe you have to go to court tomorrow. Appreciate that you get to spend money that goes towards keeping your town safe and secure. Yes I know how that can sound, but don’t make it into a negative, find a reason to be grateful anyways. Like attracts like so if you are going to be a negative Nancy then you will always complain and never see the good or positive in things. It’s up to you to make a choice. Do you wish to be abundant? Or do you want to keep gossiping or complaining and winding up with the same crap over and over?
