Above the din of
Yearning
Peace flows
Each memory
Reflecting
In a pool of gratitude

Cherish the good in all things
Let go of petty grievances
Honor your inner silence
Step forward in unwavering faith

Whatever you do
Do it wholeheartedly
Let your gentle spirit shine
Radiate your truth

Be patient
Be kind
Be generous

Laugh more
Celebrate your successes
Love others as you
Love yourself

Give thanks for the gift
Of sharing these
Precious moments
Together

Embrace your blessed life.

Each day consists of a series of moments that add up to your lifetime. Your life is precious and living in gratitude is the foundation to creating each moment as you would like it to happen.

If your life isn’t showing up how you would like it to or you’re struggling with your purpose, it may be time to start focusing on what’s going right.

Why? Because when you’re focused on what’s going right, you’re in vibrational alignment with that energy. Simply put, these feel good vibrations draw more wonderful things and experiences to you.

[Tweet “When you stay focused on the things that are going well, more good things come your way.”]

Have you ever noticed how people respond to you when you’re smiling and feeling joyful? Now, think of a time when you may have been feeling irritated or annoyed. How did others respond to you then?

Most of us can relate to the previous example. It perfectly illustrates how your energy creates your experience. Smiles attract more smiles. Or more accurately, the good feeling energy behind your smile attracts more of that same energy to you.

[Tweet “Living in gratitude is fundamental to thriving in all life experiences.”]

The most radical shifts I’ve experienced have been rooted in gratitude. Taking the perspective of thankfulness helps uncover the blessings in all situations. In other words, gratitude dissolves resistance and results in magnetizing what you would like to attract.

Perspective is a powerful word. As time has gone by, I’ve developed a deeper and more profound understanding of how my mindset impacts everything around me. I’ve learned that by turning my attention to a positive aspect of any situation, I start to feel better immediately which results in a positive outcome.

[Tweet “Everything and everyone around you shifts when you’re in the high vibration of thankfulness.”]

Gratitude is a state of being. It’s the awareness of the goodness around you that expands as you begin to appreciate the best aspects within each extraordinary moment. Surrendering to the moment connects you into the flow of gratitude and what is presently going on around you.

[Tweet “Gratitude opens a channel for joy no matter what is going on around you.”]

A Simple Exercise To Tap Into Gratitude

Here’s a simple exercise that will help you surrender to the moment and tap into gratitude immediately. By looking for positive aspects in frustrating or stressful situations you begin to establish new habits of appreciation.

Have you ever been stuck in traffic? Or maybe a long line at the grocery store? These are perfect situations to practice the art of gratitude. Or choose another experience that you find frustrating or causes you anxiety.

If you’re in traffic, turn your attention to appreciating your car that takes you where you want to go. Maybe you’re listening to a playlist and your favorite song comes on. Maybe you drive by your favorite restaurant or a park that you enjoy.

If you’re at the grocery store, give thanks for the food in your basket and the meal you will enjoy later. Maybe you smile at someone and they smile back. Maybe you look out the window and you see a bird fly by or flowers.

The possibilities for thankfulness are infinite. Find something in your immediate environment that evokes gratitude for you and put your focus on that. Notice how much better you feel as your gratitude grows.

[Tweet “Living in gratitude will change your life in ways you can’t begin to imagine. “]

Gratitude opens the energy of receiving and turns your frustrations into joyful experiences by placing your focus on better feeling thoughts. The high vibration of thankfulness is your most powerful connection to your inner voice and allows you to hear your guidance with clarity.

[Tweet “Are you willing to commit to letting go of old behavioral patterns in favor of gratitude?”]

It’s not a commitment that takes a lot of time, however it does call for awareness and a desire to create a new outcome. Creating quantum growth in your life requires commitment.

I have found that keeping a gratitude journal is helpful. Over time, your gratitude journal will provide proof of your successes, as your expanding appreciation guides you towards your ideal life and life purpose.

Behind the haze
Of my forgotten dreams
This energetic ball and chain
Is ready to release

A new perspective
Calls
Reaching out from
Behind the shadows
Of what was

The path ahead
Sparkles in shades
Of my deepest desires
Beckoning me to
Take the first step

I hesitate
I ponder the road behind
The twists
The turns
The journey that
Defines who I am
Or does it?

Here in this
No mans land
Of indecision
I take another
Cleansing breath
And another
And another

My inner wisdom
Takes me gently
By the hand
And guides me onto
The dance floor
Of oneness
This new perspective
Leading me towards
The path of least
Resistance
With ease

I can do this
Yes, I can do this

A smile lights up the path ahead
With clarity
I embrace a new outlook
And with a sigh of relief
I allow each memory
That led me to this moment
To accompany me
Arm in arm
My dance partner
In this new dance
Of the life
I came to live
Moving as one
Within
This new groove.

[Tweet “Is there something you desperately want and can’t understand why it isn’t showing up?”]

Letting go of limited belief systems and expectations may be the biggest hurdles you face as you take steps towards creating your best life.

These behaviors and judgements begin to take root in your sub-conscious from the time you’re very young. Eventually they become the default drivers of your life experience, defining to a greater or lesser degree how you operate in this reality, including who you believe you are and whether or not you’re aligned with your authentic path.

How do limited beliefs show up in your life?

Here are some examples of the resistance that could be separating you from receiving what you desire.

Perhaps you’re convinced that you’ll never meet your ideal partner, have enough money or realize your big dreams. Maybe you have feelings of unworthiness or believe that you have to work really hard to get what you want.

Do you have fear of releasing the past or blame yourself and others when things aren’t going according to plan? There are an infinite number of ways that we create limitation in our lives.

[Tweet “Your biggest opportunities are waiting for you. Let go and allow Universal energy to flow. “]

In other words, when you release your old ways of thinking, you open the energy that invites the Universe to deliver what you’re asking for.

The Universe is patiently waiting to bring you something even better than what you’re requesting, but you must be willing to detach and trust that it will be delivered. If you allow the Universe to deliver the essence of what you want, it will always over deliver and often in a way that is completely unexpected.

[Tweet “The Universe is patiently waiting to deliver something even better than what you’re requesting.”]

You can define the essence of what you want by using your imagination to tap into how you’ll feel when you receive what it is that you’re asking for. Will you feel joy, peace, success, security, freedom? Something else?

There’s a misconception that letting go means you have to forget your past. It’s not about forgetting your past experiences, but rather a point of releasing the energy that keeps you mired in the negativity of your past experiences. In other words, shifting your perspective in order to receive a new possibility.

[Tweet “Letting go is releasing the energy that keeps you mired in the negativity of past experiences.”]

Trying to forget your challenges creates resistance, because let’s face it, your experiences are a part of your journey. Your struggles are there to help you move forward but because they’ve been with you for some time, you may find it difficult to see another option.

It’s really just looking at your situation from a different angle, telling yourself a new story. After all, limited beliefs and judgements are simply stories we’ve told ourselves repeatedly, therefore establishing them as our truth. That’s good news. It means you have the power to create a new story. A story that opens the energy to receive the gifts you’ve been asking for.

[Tweet “If you’re stuck, it may be time to write a new story and take a new perspective.”]

Here’s an example of taking a new perspective.

Imagine that you’ve been pursuing your dream for years and you feel completely discouraged.

You may say to yourself: “I’ve tried everything, nothing is working, I don’t know what else to do. I don’t know why I can’t make this happen. What’s wrong with me? My family has struggled for generations so I guess this is true for me too.”

How does that statement feel? Probably not too good, right?

In this scenario you’re telling the Universe that nothing is working, so based on the law of deliberate creation you are getting exactly what you’re asking for. Nothing is working. So, how could you change your perspective and open up the energy in this situation?

You could say, for example:

• I wonder what other opportunities there are to manifest my dream?
• Is there someone I haven’t met or connected with that can help me?
• My ancestors didn’t have the opportunities that I have.
• Every day people around the world are making their dreams come true and so can I.
• I trust that the Universe will over deliver in the exact right time.
• I am in the process of making my dreams come true.
• What else do I need to know?

Can you feel the energy begin to open up as you ask questions that help you create a new perspective?

[Tweet “Shifting your perspective changes your energy and allows you to receive new possibilities.”]

Letting go is like unwrapping gifts. What if the gifts you open are even better than what you asked for?
