— Meister Eckhart
How are you doing in week 2 of the 30 days of
conscious Thanks - Living? Did you keep up the list or did you ditch the effort
a couple days into it?
It has been an eye opening experience for me. I have always more or less been grateful, but
this exercise forces me to become more aware.
Taking this tiny action can be a great step toward
seeing your life with increasing joy.
If you kept up with this exercise, have you noticed
a change or shift in your perception of your life and all that is around you?
Did you notice the more you were thankful for the more you had or that there
was more which came into your life?
I noticed my attitude about so many things shifts
when I see and focus on all the good during my day. Nothing changes with what is happening, necessarily.
What changes is my focus, and the
experiences I have appear more positive.
I can't explain just how this happens, but it
does.
When I reflect back on times or situations in my
life I might not have thought were too good, I know today that everything
happens for a reason and ultimately is for my best. I have grown emotionally or spiritually from
just about every experience I’ve had. By
applying the magic formula of gratitude to those times, I can see how important
all those lessons where or why those people might have been put in my life, and
how necessary all of that was for me.
I am curious about how you are doing with this
exercise. Has your life improved even a
small bit since you started it? Have you
noticed more positive things are in your life? How has this affected you? Drop me a line and
let me know. E-mail: Diane
Here's to the beginning of week 3 in the 30 days
