Appreciate to Create!
Appreciation and the value it carries is becoming increasingly realized by the world around us. The things you thank about, come rushing into your experience! When you simply begin to count different aspects of your life that you value, you will notice that you become relaxed, centered, and refreshed. Starting my journey with the practice of appreciation as many times a day as possible was filled with its own adventures. Since the time I have been a child, cherishing the smallest of things and enjoying little moments did come easily to me. It stems from my childhood experiences that have been a bit uneasy, and so, inspired me to look for silver linings in the clouds. Upon starting this journey of appreciation, I realized that being thankful for, and happy about everything outside of me, was incredibly easier than within myself.
It took me a while, but I am doing it, I am appreciating myself more and more, appreciating and loving my body more than ever before, and yes, my life has changed immensely for the better! When you get the momentum started on positive aspects of anything, the Universe does take care of it. In fact, the Universe is your truest and best friend, it'll bring you exactly what you think about! So, the more you thank about things already going well for you (which could be plenty in number), you'll start attracting more of it, and thus creating more of it in your experience. A list of general things that you or anyone you know can't mess up, and you can be thankful for:
The sun rising every day and giving life to everything we know to be.
The perfect placement of our planet from the sun, and its rotation at the perfect pace.
The abundance of air for us to breathe.
The intelligence of our body which has stayed with us through good times and bad.
The blood being pumped by our heart even when we are asleep without our conscious efforts.
The roof over your head, the food on your table, and the clothes on your back.
The ability to read this.
The love and support of your dear ones.
The ability to witness the magnificence of this planet.
The tiniest desire of hope for a better day, a better life, and a better planet.
You could start to journal your feelings of appreciation, or write on random pieces of paper every day, or put them in a jar to look at them at some point later in time. You could even make social media accounts just to share what you are thankful for and you will be surprised as to how many people will share those feelings with you! Why not create a community about thankfulness?
Even if you write 5 points a day, you'll notice a positive change in your life very soon. This will concretize your beliefs, and even help you to create the life you want. There is nothing you can't be, do, or have!
