Feeling Stressed? Gratitude beats stress everytime – here’s a quick video on how to make it your go-to resource! Not just for Thanksgiving weekend, but as a daily practice!
Expressing gratitude is one of the best stress relief activities you can do if you want quick results! I was inspired to record a video about practicing gratitude. Discover the difference 5 minutes can make, when you use it to focus on things you’re grateful for! I feel it’s the most powerful practice going, and is so easy to do! I know we’re all busy people, but if you commit to spending just 5 minutes a day feeling grateful, every day, your life will turn around. But don’t take my word for it, prove it to yourself! Try this and see if you agree it’s one of the best stress relief activities!
My personal daily goal is focus on what delights me and gets me to my happy place so to feel as fabulous as I possibly can! It’s easier than you may think, and is within your reach too! My professional goal is to help you feel better, regardless of the situation you may be in. Because no matter what’s going on with you right now, you are still in control, because you get to decide how to perceive it – and Perception is Everything! My own life experiences and 22 years of metaphysical training have given me many tools that I love sharing in my coaching and training programs. Of these, my #1 favorite go-to ‘tool’ is Gratitude. By deliberately cultivating an attitude of Gratitude you are sending a powerful message out into the world that you are worthy and deserving and open to receiving more good things. I make it a practice to deliberately choose my thoughts to reflect the silver lining that’s present under all circumstances. I start my day by creating gratitude lists, which essentially is simply counting your blessings and writing them down. Anything you wouldn’t want to be without would go on this list, and on many occasions my list has had over 100 items on it! (try this and see how easy and fast it really is!) To keep this process feeling fresh, I do like to mix up the themes a bit. For example, I might ask, what do I appreciate about my life? About myself? Family members? I was recently asked, “What delights you” in an interview – here was my short list. – cuddling fluffy kittens – hugs & kisses from my little grandkids – family parties – introducing/training others in the art of Reiki – hanging out with like-minded people – crystals – teaching yoga – strolling in my gardens – writing by my pond – playing pool with my hubby – dancing! Once I have a list compiled I like to review it and deliberately conjure happy feelings that match these experiences. Such a great start to the day! The uplifting feeling builds throughout the day, and is mirrored in my outer experiences. A nice side effect – I have lots of lovely thoughts to reflect on at the end of the day when I’m looking for positive feelings to go to sleep with. What’s on your list of delights? Add it in the comments! May You Be Happy, May You Be Healthy, May You Live with Ease! Love & Light Alexandria
