Thanksgiving Every Day – How Gratitude Attracts More Blessings
Why wait until Thanksgiving to express your gratitude? You have the luxury of living your joyous life every day of the year. So make it a point to recognize your blessings and remind yourself that showing gratitude for all you already have only does more to attract further blessings into your life.
Here are five ways that show gratitude attracts more abundance into your life:
1- You’ll be thankful for the little things.
When you’re in a positive mindset, you’ll learn to appreciate the little things. The sweetest blessings come in the smallest forms. Once you learn to love, recognize, and be thankful for the little things in life, your quality of life will increase because you’ll be aware of how fortunate you are.
Your daughter is giving you a drawing that says, “Number one, mom!” or your husband picking up your favourite ice cream flavour are things you should be thankful for. Your daughter thinks you’re a rock star and have a considerate spouse. How awesome!
2- You’ll develop impeccable radar. If you often reflect on the fortunate events in your life, you’ll spot an excellent opportunity a mile away. For example, you can smell a promotion in the works or a chance to bring your family closer.
Actively seeking new opportunities to increase your personal quality of life, and that of the ones nearest and dearest to your heart, will fill your heart with accomplishment.
3- You are giving to the less fortunate. When you’re thankful for the bed you sleep in at night, the roof shielding your family from the cold, the family on your couch and the food on your plates, you’re well aware of how fortunate you are. As a result, you’re more likely to jump at the opportunity to help someone in a worse position.
The smallest efforts from you could make a difference in the life of another. Helping your neighbour craft his resume will help him provide for his family. Donating your used clothing will help keep the homeless warm. And taking part in a walk for breast cancer may allow someone else to live another day.
When you help others, you help yourself in many ways.
4- You’ll reach higher. Your grateful ways are a blessing. You appreciate life more intensely when you’re grateful. You also regard each day as another chance to bring more joy to your reality, lifestyle, and future.
It’s perfectly normal to be grateful for what you have, but often desire to reach for more. Continuously improving your life is a good thing for you and your family.
5- You are taking into account others. When you’re satisfied with your life and feel genuinely happy, you tend to treat others very kindly. You’ll be more likely to hold the door open at the mall for a stranger or pick up a fallen cane for an older man. Your happiness is magnified when you help bring joy to others.
Your life begins to take a turn for the better when you remember how fortunate you are. The smallest details can boost your spirits. The misfortune of others will prompt you to help them seek support, and life truly begins to look a little brighter.
Starting today, take your positive mindset to new heights and make every day a personal day of Thanksgiving!
