Being Thankful

November 25, 2009 · by admin · Filed Under Blog · Leave a Comment 

This week is the American holiday of Thanksgiving, a time when people’s thoughts turn to gratitude. It’s one of the few holidays in the year that most people celebrate, regardless of their religious or cultural heritage, and most cultures do indeed mark a time every year to be thankful.

Cultivating an attitude of gratitude is essential if our lives are to flower and blossom. If we walk around all the time feeling sullen and deprived, it sends signals back to our bodies of lack and want. Thoughts are things, and if we focus on lack…we tend to manifest lack.

The flip side is also true. If we focus on joy and gratitude, love and thankfulness for all of the wonderful things in our lives, we tend to attract to ourselves that which we profess….or in other words, thoughts are things, whether you’re thinking about good stuff or thinking about the stuff you lack.

This Thanksgiving, take a few minutes to feel gratitude and thank the universe for the good things in your life. If it’s hard to start, just sit quietly in a chair. Look around the room. Pick and object and say, “Thank you for the table.” Keep going. Soon, you’ll feel like your cup overflows with gratitude.

And that’s true thanksgiving, indeed.
