A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles

Always be grateful, bla bla huh?. BUT seriously. I mean it. Practice to be grateful if you can’t feel it. I think many of us needs to wake up. Stop. Look up. Pause. And really look around. We have so much to be grateful for in life. Sunny days, safety, dreams coming true and all the amazing people that spread light & love in the world. All interesting meetings, new opportunities and magic moments. Or basic things like a bed to sleep in, clean clothes, a kitchen to cook food in, money to make it work, a work to go to, and yea I could go on forever.

But we know that focus on grateful thoughts sends positive messages to our nerv system and is pure love for body and mind. It’s healing energy. Because if we always think about stuff we don't have, that's the energy we sending out, and getting back. It becomes our reality and the body and soul thinks that you are not happy what you got because the attention is on everything you want. I don't say we can’t talk about future dreams and goals. Ofc we can talk, and should talk about want we want in life, but we can do it in two ways. Be thankful for where you are, what you have and feel happiness where you are at the moment. So you are excited for what’s waiting, aware about what you want and working towards that. Or it’s in a way where you think “if I just get this and that, then I will be happy”.. no no that's not cool.

Perhaps you already do it, having a gratitude journal. If you don’t have it, create a habit or routine in your everyday life where you write down five things that you feel grateful for and notice how it affects yourself. It makes a difference.

Just today, I'm grateful for all the beautiful people around me. Living so close to my sister and nephew. Having such a wonderful relationship with my family and friends. I feel so thankful for that. It’s scary but in a few seconds everything can change, so take care of each other, show appreciation and love, time is so incredibly valuable and fragile. Today I also feel grateful for the being I am, my soul in this body I live in. Thankful for the awareness and insights that constantly reminds me of being more in the moment, and to not take life too seriously, follow my gut feeling and surround me with what makes me feel good. Nothing else. What are you grateful for today?

This is my gratitude journal, called “tacksamhetsdagboken” from Sporrongfrom and I keep it next to my bed, I love to think about everything I’m thankful for an write it down before I fall asleep.
