Using gratitude to change your attitude is such a simple and very effective jewel for self discovery.
What we focus on we create more of because energy follows awareness. Using gratitude to change your attitude works by switching your focus from what is not working to what you are grateful for in your life.
In my own spiritual practice when I catch myself complaining about something or someone I remember to start using gratitude to change my attitude.
What is gratitude?
Gratitude is appreciation, thankfulness, acknowledgement. It also means recognition, rendering credit and praise to another.
Gratitude is expressed in French by the word “merci,” in Spanish “gracias,” in Italian “grazie,” and in German it is “danke.”
Folded hands with palms facing or prayer pose is the body language we use to symbolizegratitude. For some it is falling on one’s knees that is an expression of thanksgiving and praise.
Jewel for Self Discovery
Usinggratitude as ajewel for self discovery enables us to transform our thinking and therefore our reality. We can go from the frustrations of delay to the opportunity to breathe, relax and be still, connecting to the Divine within.
The drudgery of chores becomes the chance to stretch and exercise the body when we addgratitude. Instead of seeing the glass as half empty, we see the glass as half full.
Challenges withgratitude added, enable us to see the gift presented to us by the Universe when we are willing to see beyond our limited thinking and let go of limiting beliefs. When we change our mind we change our perception. When we change our perception we change our reality and we begin to notice the beauty of Mother Nature all around us.
Practice of Gratitude
Start your day with the practice of gratitude. Pay attention to your thoughts and consciously transform them with an attitude ofgratitude, creating an affirmation. For example, go from “I’m too tired to get up this early,” to “I’m so grateful for the chance to start my day early.”
Feel the internal shift that yourpractice of gratitude creates within you and keep going with your affirmations. Appreciate everything around you as you notice the calmness and joy slowly rise up inside you.
With your practice of gratitude you see that the clock that wakes you, the hot coffee or tea that warms you and the sleepy faces of your loved ones that greet you are there to be praised. “How wonderful it is to awaken to a quiet house.”Be thankful for the birds chirping or the morning traffic outside. Everyone and everything in our life gives us the chance to acknowledge God within us and in them, experiencing oneness.
We are love made manifest in flesh. We are at one with God, all creation and the universe. The doorway to this awareness isgratitude. And so it is.
