GRATITUDE

  

                       

Each day thank your mother, father, masters, Gods, and others in this order.

Thanking your mother harmonizes the female energy within you. As having an issue

with your mother creates all issues with woman in general. Also the manifest world is

considered as “Shakti” and issues with your own mother creates imbalance in many

areas of your life.

“When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” -Lao Tzu

Thanking your father harmonizes the male energy within you. Having an issue with your

father creates issues with all males in your life.

These are not mumbo jumbo crap as some of you who are so called educated may

think. All I can say is formal education has huge discrepancies and is incomplete.

Discover more about the impact of both the energies in real life and you will feel truly

blessed.

“Thanks” energy is an expansion and multiplication energy. As you thank one and all,

you will feel expansion in all walks of your life. The best of best will come your way. And

most important you will be able to relish the finer things of life.

Take a moment now. Close your eyes. Start to thank all those who contributed to your

life. You will feel at peace with yourself. Make it a daily practice. Do it religiously once in

the morning before going to work and once in the night before sleeping. One such

master technique is enough for an entire life.

Every moment one should thank. It should be spontaneous and natural. Thank water

and thank food before consuming and you will discover how divine it tastes.

Take an action now. Hold a glass of water, thank it from the bottom of your heart for a

few seconds, now drink and experience the divine taste. Extend this further and start to

thank all that which crosses your hand. Whilst expressing gratitude, the ordinary

becomes the extraordinary.

9 WAYS TO CULTIVATE GRATITUDE

1

Notice your day-to-day world from a point of gratitude and be amazed at all the goodness we take for granted.

2

Keep a gratitude journal. All it requires is noting one or more things you are grateful for on a daily basis. No fancy notebook, no computer program required. 

3

If you identify something or someone with a negative trait (the cold conference room), switch it in your mind to a positive trait (the conference room with a great view).

4

Gratitude requires humility, which the dictionary defines as being "modest and respectful." Explore where it fits in your life. Pray. People who are religious can use prayer to cultivate gratitude

5

Give at least one compliment daily, whether directly to a person or by sharing your appreciation of something ("I love how quiet it is in the morning, don’t you?"). Thank someone mentally. No time to write? It may help just to think about someone who has done something nice for you, and mentally thank the individual.

6

When you find yourself in a bad situation ask: What can I learn? When I look back on this, without emotion, what will I be grateful for?

7

Vow to not complain, criticize, or gossip for a week. If you slip, rally your willpower and keep going. Notice how much energy you were spending on negative thoughts.

8

Sound genuinely happy to hear from the people who call you on the phone. Whether they respond with surprise or delight, they'll feel valued.

9

Join a cause that's important to you. Donate money, time, or talent. By getting involved, you’ll better appreciate the organization — and it will appreciate you more, too. Count your blessings. Pick a time every week to sit down and write about your blessings — reflecting on what went right or what you are grateful for. Sometimes it helps to pick a number — such as three to five things — that you will identify each week. As you write, be specific and think about the sensations you felt when something good happened to you.

In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.

“We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.”  ― John F. Kennedy
