Do you keep a gratitude journal?

Research shows that keeping such a journal has multiple benefits like improving your physical health.  Grateful people often take better care of themselves and sleep better because writing in a journal allows them to reflect on the positives of the day before drifting off.

Being grateful can slow that racing mind, too, and boost mental strength by focusing on what’s going well as opposed to what threatens. 

And have you noticed that people who are grateful are often in a better mood and more confident? Makes sense if you think about.

I actually started practicing gratitude before I hop out of bed in the morning. It was a deliberate shift several years ago to stop me from hitting-the-ground running and ensuring I was in an abundant, connected mindset before I did one single thing.

It’s easier to be grateful when things are going well, a little more difficult when overwhelm sets in, but the two that start my list every single day are clean, running water at the exact temperature I desire at the turn of a tap (I marvel at that regularly) and how safe and comfy I feel in my home.  Of course, my 30-year mantra begins with, “I am so happy and grateful now that I have perfect health” and I am forever grateful for “connection” (like with you 😊)

But what about expressing gratitude for what we don’t have?  For the unknown?  For what’s to come?  Does that sound risky?

Oh, Karla, you so nailed it.

It’s easiest to give thanks to what we see, hold and feel yet it is overwhelmingly empowering to give thanks for who you are, what you can create, and the abundance of joy, love and light you are yet to experience.

When you give thanks for being the miracle child you are and are grateful for the guidance, strength and ability to live out your purpose, the world truly lights up for you.
