Gratitude has the power to raise our conscious level. When we focus on the things we are grateful for we attract more of the same. If we focus on things of worry, ie, lack of goods money etc. We attract more of the same. A gratitude journal is a great step for helping us to align our thoughts and lives in gratitude. To make a list each morning of things we are grateful for and give our attention to our list seven times a day, creates an alignment within us of gratitude and helps us to create a more conscious life. The video below is a wonderful example of Gratitude Quotations and Affirmations. Enjoy...
