Practice Gratitude on a Daily Basis

 You may have heard about the Law of Attraction and have read or watched The Secret, but have you learned the secret? There are many ways to manifesting what you want in your life and today, I'm sharing a powerful practice.

Bringing abundance into your life requires overcoming habits that no longer serve you and gaining a new mindset. Taking the time to reflect and assess your life is essential. You'll obtain a renewed perspective when you're able to see the opportunities all around you. This is a powerful secret...ready? One of the best ways to welcome more abundance into your life is through practicing gratitude on a daily basis. It is one of the best ways to invite all things plentiful into your world. Keep reading to discover some of my favorite ways to do just that.

 Carry a Totem

 Sometimes we need a physical reminder of what we want. When we're busy and living from day to day from rote, it's easy to lose sight of those small things that really make a difference. That's why I like to carry some sort of a physical reminder with me to trigger feelings of gratitude. This should be something quite personal that you connect with. Perhaps it's a loved one's photo in a locket, a memento like a seashell from your beach trip, or even your favorite saying written on a post-it note on your computer monitor. I often carry a small stone that brings my attention back to the present moment, gratitude, and being intentional.

 Remember Your Accomplishments

 Self-confidence can be fleeting. Sometimes you forget just how great you really are. Taking some time now and then to remind yourself of your high points can instill gratitude for all that makes you special. Looking at an award, love note from a child, or token of appreciation from a co-worker can truly do a lot to lift your spirits when you find yourself lacking gratitude. Another strategy is to do mirror work...go look into a mirror...really look into your own eyes and tell yourself how much you are loved, what accomplishments you're most proud of, and express your sincere gratitude.

 Write it Down

 While it may seem cliché, a gratitude journal is a simple and effective tool for maintaining gratefulness in your heart. The key is to write in it every day. Taking just a few minutes to jot down what you're thankful for prior to heading to bed can be a powerful way to demonstrate the abundance you already have in your life, as well as to invite more. My suggestion is that you write five things each day. After you've written your list, put a hand on your heart, close your eyes, and utter the simple prayer of thanksgiving with the words "thank you." This is a powerful practice.

 Share the Love

 Just as reading a note of appreciation can increase your feelings of gratitude, expressing such sentiments to those around you is also quite powerful. Find a way to compliment at least one person every day. Better yet, make it more meaningful by doing it in a way that can be held onto as a keepsake. A note in a blank card, a small gift, or even just an email are all examples of ways your words can live on to provide that spark of gratitude in others. You'll be sharing the abundance while you're at it. I truly do believe that what you put out there comes back to you. Be prepared to experience some warm and fuzzy feelings! 

 Give these ideas a try if you want to maintain a sense of gratitude. Simple measures are all you need in order to raise your vibration and manifest a feeling of plenty in your life.
