Living in a State of Gratitude

Are you living in a state of gratitude?  There is power when you live in gratitude.  The movie The Secret taught me some important things, first of all your thoughts become things.  What you focus on that is what you will attract in your life.
Living in a state of gratitude means your thoughts should be on being grateful for the things you have NOW. By living in this state of being....the universal law of attraction says that we will attract into your life the things we focus and think about ....if your thoughts are on lack (negativity) you  will attract that. But if your thoughts are on your many blessings than the universe says lets give more things for them to be grateful for......so remember GRATITUDE attracts what we want.

Another area that I've notice people having a hard time with is accepting a blessing from others.....remember when someone gives you a $20.00 bill it is the giver that shall receive a blessing. So many times I see people want to cut off the other persons blessing by not accepting the gift.  If someone is touched to give you a gift. Don't reject it! Accept it with open arms and "feel" that gratitude in your heart. Say "THANK YOU" and mean it from the bottom of your heart. I guarantee you that the person that has given you that blessing will receive their own.

We forget that our attitude of GRATITUDE is what attract those blessings into your life. If you are affirming that you  will receive abundance in your life. That is  what you are manifesting/affirming...why are you than surprise when you receive it. Your job is not to know where it will come from ....your job is to feel the abundance and be GRATEFUL that it's manifested
Here are my tips to help you live in a state of GRATITUDE
1) Keep a Gratitude Journal - every day set some time aside to write down what you are grateful for today.  Big or small, we all have several things each day we are blessed for.

2) Visual reminders - use post a notes around the house to trigger that feeling of gratitude. In your mirrors, on your
refrigerator, in your wallet.  Write positive affirmations ex: I am thankful for all the food I have in my refrigerator.  The list goes on.

3) Gratitude Partner - If you hang around with negativity people that is what you will "catch" make a conscious effort to hang around people that  support a grateful lifestyle.

4)Change your Self-Talk - SO IMPORTANT to change your self-talk!!   Research has shown that we can change our mood by changing the tone of the things we say to ourselves.  Say positive, uplifting, grateful things to yourself. Start your day with this positive affirmation.  Ex:  I  AM grateful for the many blessings coming my way today!

When we learn to master the art of living in a state of gratitude we will live a blessed, fulfilled, and awesome life.

Let's examine what's coming out of our mouth?

Have you ever asked someone how they are doing? Have you ever asked someone how things were going? Have you ever stopped to really listen to what comes out of their mouth?  I know first hand that life can be hard. Things we go through can tear us up into pieces.  Have you ever examine what's coming out of your mouth? Do we complain about anything and everything. Just some food for thought....instead of complaining about the issue...be thankful that whatever it is your facing will make you stronger and wiser.  Remember whatever your going through....is nothing compare to what someone else might be going through.....replace complaining with a  brighter outlook on the situation . I know it can be hard. But remember God knows we can handle whatever it is your facing. And I know that if the complaining stops....you will  Change Your Life !  Why? Because complaining is just another form of being negative. Thinking negative. Therefore if we ...

Sunday Vibes

Sunday Vibes Day 2 of quarantine My sister and niece came over yesterday to see dad and spend the night. We laughed. We enjoyed time with each other. On Friday, I was officially sent home to self quarantine. The governor issued the order that all fitness centers had to closed state wide. I am going to welcome stillness. Only going out to get my dad's medicine. Yesterday my niece gave me a facial and massage.   My niece Vicky was in shock when she noticed that she had the same birthmark on her foot as I. My sister doesn't have this birthmark. We had to mark the moment with a picture. lol I told her she was special cuz she had titi's birthmark. lol Day 2 - today I filled the bird feeders, I definitely want to see my bird friends this week. As I sat here to write this blog. I had the doves come by and eat. And also the red cardinal. It's so beautiful outdoors.  Very tranquil. Best moment of the day was my sister, niece, and I did a TikTok...

Do you love yourself? Have you forgiven yourself?

In the last three years, I've had to learn how to forgive myself in order to truly love myself. Life throws us curve balls.  We all have experience current life events that were traumatic.  We've done things we didn't like.  We've been treated poorly. So many things could have happened.  I will share a little about what happened to me and how I was able to take the advice I am about to share with you and change my life around. I spend a majority of my life blaming others for my unhappiness.  First mistake, I made. I had to take responsibility for my own mistakes.  I was in an abusive relationship for 15 years. I blamed God for not changing my situation. I lived feeling that God must not love me. What happened to me was I developed a mindset that if God didn't love me why should I love myself. My reasoning to this thought was the fact I was mistreated, called names, put down for so many years.....God didn't hear my prayers. It wasn't until I chan...
