AN ATITTUDE OF GRATITUDE

by Buzz Malloy Life's Wealth Resources Limited

By focusing on and compiling a list of the things that you are grateful for in your life actually accomplishes a few extremely effective things at the same time.

1/ It allows you to bring into your awareness the good things that are happening in your life on a day to day basis, and with repetition, will take your focus off of what you perceive as the negative aspects of any situation.

It's purpose is to put you more into a mindset of finding that you really do have good, positive things happening to you in all areas of your life, and shifts the focus off of what you perceive to be negative.

It's no secret that life can deal what "appears" to be a bad hand sometimes, but if you will look hard for it, you can find the good in any situation. Sometimes the answer isn't readily available, but just the knowing that all things happen for the greater good, is enough to keep you from falling into resistance, and keep it from getting worse.

2/ By shifting the focus off of only the negative aspect of a situation, you are able to see more clearly the positive things that can come out of this situation, which in turn puts you into more of a vibrational state that will attract the things that you desire.

3/ While you are doing this procedure, it is automatically rewriting the negative scr i pt that you have allowed to be placed in your subconscious and replacing it with positive and productive scripting that will deliver to you, more positive and productive outcomes.

Technique #1: The Mental Gratitude List

By developing the discipline to practice this technique every day, you will find that it becomes easier and easier to do, and the results will be dramatic. There are actually several ways that you can do this. If you haven't yet developed a procedure may I suggest the following. Start by is mentally going over your list of things to be grateful for as you sit still in a meditative quietness.

The reason this is such an effective method is because during meditation, your brain wave activity is lowered dramatically, which allows the affirmations to penetrate deeper into the subconscious portion of your mind, and has a quicker, deeper, and longer lasting effect with less effort.

If your not into the meditation thing, you can also go over a mental list as you do the things that relax you, such as working in the garden, walking in the park, going fishing, or whatever relaxation activities that you do.

You'll find that doing your 'gratitude-work' delivers results more quickly, and is much more effective if you can do it while you are in a more relaxed state of mind. If you are in a place where you are totally unable to quite your mind and anxious most of the time, you may find the next method to be more effective, initially.

Technique #2: The Written Out Gratitude List

This method is equally as effective and actually accomplishes the same end result as the first technique. Just take out a piece of paper and make a hand written list of the things that you can think of that you are grateful for. Think deeply about each area of your life and begin to write in detail the good things that come to your mind as you write.

Depending on your particular situation, you may find that it's hard to come up with things to be grateful for initially, so dig deep and things will begin to flow. Make sure that you are finding and writing things that you are sincerely grateful for. If the emotion isn't there, the result won't be either.

To give an example, let's say that your working on a relationship issue. You and your significant other have been at odds for some time and you are feeling really hurt and angry over the situation. Although your state of mind is telling you how angry you are, think about the good that you saw in this person that attracted you to them initially.

Begin to write down what comes to mind and more will follow. Write in as much detail as you are able regarding each item on your list. If it is hard initially, that's OK, just do the best you can. It will become easier and easier the more you practice at it.

Utilize this technique in whatever area of your life you are working on, regardless if it's money, health, relationships, or all three. It is extremely powerful and with practice and persistence you will begin to see circumstances begin to change almost magically.

Make a commitment to yourself that you will do this at least once per day and stick to that commitment. It doesn't have to take a long time. Even 5 minutes is better than not at all. Put into it the time that you can spare, but make sure you do it every day. You'll be pleased with the results.
