Gratitude for Where We Are – Gets Us to Where We Need to Be

I hope you enjoy this Affirmation and Self Reflection Exercise

Being grateful for where I am forges the path to where I want to be.

I make a conscious effort to give thanks for all good things in my life. The more I show my gratitude, the more good things I receive to be thankful for!

When I awake in the morning, I give thanks for the new day. The good feelings I generate start my day in a perfect way, and I find that one good thing leads to another. This positive boost helps me fly through my daily tasks with energy and momentum.

I thank my spouse for the things he does for me. This makes him feel loved and appreciated and he goes out of his way to do even more for me. It becomes a never-ending cycle of love!

I find things to thank my daughter for every day.
When she does a good job on anything, I thank her for her effort, motivating her to continue. My happiness is even greater when I see her, too, discovering the joys of gratitude and telling others, “Thank you.”

As my day goes on, I thank my customers for their business. In return, I receive their loyalty and friendship.

I thank my friends for being there for me. They’re always there to lend a helping hand and cheer me on.

I realize that even the challenges of my day arise for good reason and I’m grateful for the lessons I learn from these obstacles. Invariably, my challenges bring me closer to my goals, in one way or another, as I seek solutions.

Today, I strive to feel gratitude, enjoy it, and let it show in how I treat others.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I let myself feel and enjoy gratitude and its benefits?
2. How has showing someone my gratitude brought me something good in return?
3. How can I show my gratitude more often?

I wear pieces from the Gratitude Collection as a constant reminder of the good in my life. I think of their deep seated meaning for me and for so many others.  Life is good.  Deanna and The Gratitude Collection help to remind of this.
