Prosperity can be found in a gratitude journal
So often, our lives resemble a rat race and we lose sight of the abundance all around us. Today is the perfect day to take a few minutes to reflect on all the blessings you have received over the last year. Possessing an attitude of gratitude for what we have been given and what we have right now opens windows for more blessings to enter into our lives. One of the greatest ways I have found to keep in the habit of expressing gratitude is by writing in a gratitude journal.
Many years ago, my dear friend, Linda, gave me a gratitude journal as my college graduation gift. It was then that I first learned of the power of journaling and expressing daily gratitude. When you write down what you are grateful for, it puts things in an entirely new perspective. You start to realize how abundant your life is right now at this very moment. It is truly a delicious experience!
Keeping a gratitude journal keeps you focused on all that is good in your life and subconsciously you begin to expect more good things. In the classic book, The Science of Getting Rich, Mr. Wattles writes "The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best. Therefore it tends to become the best. It takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best." I believe this to be absolutely true.
Today, foster your attitude of gratitude by writing down at least 10 things you are grateful for. Get yourself a gratitude journal to write your thoughts in. It can be a simple notebook or a decorative journal. Your journal is very personal and should reflect who you are. Do not worry about writing the wrong thing or any spelling errors. No one is going to come by and grade you. Just let your thoughts flow and write whatever first comes to mind. If you experience writer's block, you might start by writing..."I am so happy and grateful for...". Try this out for 30 days and I promise your awareness for prosperity and abundance in your life will be greatly heightened.
