6 Tips on Creating a Gratitude Journal

6 Tips on Creating a Gratitude Journal

So last year I was attending one of my favorite bands Yellowcard in concert, while we were enjoying the concert, my new Audi was broken into. They took my new Steve Mcqueen Perisal sunglasses, iPod, my dates purse as well as money.
My initial action was anger and frustration, many of the items were brand new. But after realizing they could have taken a lap top as well as fitness equipment that was even more valuable. I started to give thanks.
Normally I keep my gratitude journal in a nice leather bag, most of the time it is always with me or in my car. Had this been in my car undoubtedly they would have taken this. After a few minutes, I offered a silent prayer of gratitude as it could have been much worse.
The thought occurred to me that our possessions can be like a pond of water, eventually, if the pond sits with no ebb and flow the water becomes stagnant.
It starts to stink and we limit the opportunity for new abundance to come into our lives. When a river flows it brings new life. So is it with our lives if we do not allow our possessions to become a central focus.
The universe will conspire to help you when your willing to let go and let God take over. Within 48 hours I was offered a concert ticket, I was given a ticket to a gala and dinner. I unexpectedly received two checks in the mail one for $5500 and the other for $3000. Was all of this coincidence? Maybe, but I would like to think that by being Grateful to God that it could not have been worse, I received even more abundance than I had previously from this experience.
Each of us has a choice on how we want to think and to respond. You can always choose to be grateful or you can choose lack and limitation. When you have gratitude you will shift to a higher frequency, and you will attract even more abundance into your life.

7 Tips on Creating a Gratitude Journal

1, Make it a routine

Select a time to write every day and make it a habit. Set a reminder on your phone or leave post it notes on your mirror.

2. Write in detail

Write in detail and journal about what impacted you that day. Writing the small details will help you reflect and give thanks.

3. Accept the negative

Abundance comes and goes, don’t try and hold too tight, by letting go of what you desire more will come into your life.

4. Practice gratitude for the right things

Think of what material things allow you to be and do, not just have.

5. When you go to sleep

Think of the all the things your grateful for, as you fall asleep to what your grateful for abundance will come even more into your life.

6. When you wake up

Be grateful that your alive and that today will be the best day of your life. Set the intention from the onset that you expect and will receive abundance.

Conclusion

As you become more grateful not only will you receive more abundance, but your health will improve. You will become a more positive and happier person in the process.
I love this quote by the scientist Robert Emmons “Without gratitude, life can be lonely, depressing and impoverished. Gratitude enriches human life. It elevates, energizes, inspires and transforms. People are moved, opened and humbled through expressions of gratitude.”
So the next time you lose something to remember to have gratitude, and the universe will conspire to bring more abundance into your life.
