s you read this, put your attention on your
breathing. You don't have to do anything, just be aware of your breath. Now take
a few moments and allow yourself to relax and let yourself enjoy the act of
breathing, the quality of the air, and the feeling of new air entering your
body. Do you start to feel more relaxed and happy? Do you notice a little less
effort?Life today is non-stop. As soon as we finish something we are already on to the next thing and then we wonder why we never have that feeling of fulfillment. This is part of our nature as humans. When we try to satisfy our body personality as opposed to the soul personality (spirit), we find we need to buy new things, get that certain job, or look a certain way. Then we find that wešre not satisfied for long. We have to go get more, newer and better things. It never ends. But when we look at our needs from our awareness as a spirit, it is quite different. Instead of finding the fulfillment and consistency we are constantly looking for in "things" it is rather in our ability to sit back and just enjoy what is in the present moment, whether it be ourselves, our clothes or the environment around us. This creates the gratitude which opens our hearts and energy field to allow us to have much, much more!
If you are having a hard time with something, stop and take a look at what you are learning so far. Allow yourself to be grateful for who you are becoming in the process, the strength you have and how much the help you have received so far. See it with a new perspective and as a chance to learn a new way of doing things. Whatever it is and no matter how small, just apply a little gratitude and you will see things begin to shift. Think of a time you gave someone a gift. Remember how you felt when you saw them enjoying it. It warmed your entire being and you wanted to give more. The entire universe operates on this principle. Whatever you focus on, the universe assumes that is what you would like and gives you more. So, when your attention and energy is on what you don't have, then you are lovingly supplied with a greater sense of what you don't have. When your attention and energy is on all the great things you have, then you are lovingly given more. When you take the time to feel gratitude, you are validating what you have and signaling to the universe around you for more! Allow gratitude to bless you and your life. This holiday season, celebrate yourself and your life, and all that you are creating!
