Gratitude is contagious!

I want to share with you a website that I find to be inspiring and helpful. The original goal of this site was to get 1 million people to receive and participate in daily gratitude. I signed up over two years ago and still find it to be an inspiring pick me up.

The address is www.GoGratitude.com You can receive 42 days of gratitude via email. They do not spam your box. Make sure you watch the flash movie. There is something that creates an energetic shift while you watch. There is a new site www.WorldGratitude.com It's on my list of sites to check out.

You know, the more gratitude we acknowledge for ourselves the easier it is to share with others. The more we share the vibration of gratitude with others the better our quality of life. By sharing this energy we give each other the opportunity to enjoy a the same up lifting energy.

Now I know gratitude can be a challenge at times. Here's what I do. I go to the basics. Somedays, I am grateful for the simple things. The other day I was grateful for a dying plant because I was learning how to better help it thrive.

If you really want to excel in the gratitude department, be actively grateful in moments of stress and challenge. Somedays, I am grateful for the obnoxious customer service agent on the other end of the phone because I am seeing how far I have come in life in my ability to compassionately handle this type of interaction.

A way to ground with gratitude is by keeping a journal. Consistently write down three gratitudes a day. They need to be different everyday. The energy becomes stuck if you write the same three things everyday.

If you are ambitious, try 9 for 90. I have given this assignment in many of my classes. That's writing down 9 gratitudes for a period of 90 consecutive days. Those who have done this have seen some amazing changes in their lives.
