Thanksgiving – Celebrating Gratitude

Lots of my American friends were celebrating Thanksgiving yesterday. So it got me thinking about how I could use the day to offer my thanks too. Whilst I didn’t partake in a Thanksgiving celebration with friends and family, I did spend some time reflecting on all that I am grateful for.

Thanksgiving - Offering Gratitude

This is something that I do on a regular basis anyway. Each day I write in my Gratitude Journal. This is a special notebook where I write down several things each day that I am grateful for.

At times you may feel that you don’t have a lot to be grateful for. For example, you could have money worries or having trouble in a relationship. The key is at these times is to find something to be grateful for. It could be the sunshine when you woke up, or a kind word someone says to you at work. It could be the roof over your head, the love of your family or your train being on time. There is always something to be grateful for. Sometimes we just need to look a bit harder. Other times it will be easy and your gratitude will pour out of you.

Remember what we focus on we get. So by focusing on our gratitude we attract more things to be grateful for.

As well as writing in my gratitude journal, I like to tap in my gratitude. I repeat what I am grateful for, whilst tapping on the points. I start at the eyebrow and finish at the top of my head. I might repeat certain items several times or repeat a different item on each tapping point. The key for me here is to really feel that gratitude as I’m tapping it in. I find the combination of EFT and gratitude very powerful indeed.

My gratitude to Katherine Krych (@HealingRays) for sharing this quote on Twitter.

The more you practice being grateful, the easier it becomes and the more things you find to be grateful for. I will leave you with this quote:

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” Meister Eckhart

In deepest gratitude!
