Gratitude Experiment: New Year’s Day

I just finished my list of 100 gratitudes! Woo hoo! I did it over the course of a couple days and took my time with it.

Have you done yours yet?

It’s interesting that around 35 or 40 it felt like I wasn’t going to be able to come up with 100! But I just dug deeper and discovered so many things in the past year that I’m grateful for and by the time I got to 99, I thought I had about 50 more to add.

Anyway, if you haven’t done it yet, don’t worry it’s not too late!  Just start it and, before you know it, you’ll be swimming in gratitude.  You’ll be riding the top of the wave of an energy of love that has been moving in your life, and….by your recognition of it…will flood your life with more love, more joy, more prosperity and more blessings than you can image. 

So start your list of 100 things for which to be grateful in 2009 and get ready…the floodgates are opening!

Happy New Year and let’s affirm together that this year will be the best of our lives!

How The Gratitude Experiment Works

WaterfallWelcome to The Gratitude Experiment!  We are out to prove the theory that recognizing and documenting 1 to 5 things for which we are grateful…daily…will transform our lives — massively attracting more good into our daily experience.

Here’s all you need to do.  Come to the site daily (bookmark us for easy access), look at the daily post (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc.) and click on the “Comment” button.  Post your list of gratitudes there in the comment section.  You can read others there as well.

You can begin at any time, any day.  Just begin it…and watch what unfolds in your life!

Gratitude Experiment: How Does It Work?

One of the ways in which gratitude increases more experiences of good for us is that it very gently opens us up to receive. How? After a few days or weeks of being on the lookout for the good that is already in our lives…and praising that good…it begins to occur to us that we live in a friendly universe filled with blessings.  And, more importantly, that we are meant to enjoy all those blessings…that it is, in fact, personal. In this way we begin to slowly open to the idea that we’re worthy of a loving, joyous and prosperous life.

It’s as if our true worthiness were sneaking up on us. And sometimes it needs to because, not feeling worthy…and therefore not accepting good…can be a tough thing for some of us to shift.  We can’t force the shift.  Sneaky is good in the case :-)

Daily proactive gratitude is quite effective at opening us up to receive more good.  So stay with it, post your gratitudes daily, and witness as you open up to receive more good.

The Gratitude Experiment

Starting today…Thanksgiving Day, 2009, I am embarking on something I’m calling the Gratitude Experiment.

From today forward…and for the next 365 Days I’m am posting at least one thing for which I am grateful. It could be just one thing, or a list of things that day. The point is to focus on what is wonderful in my life and in this world.

More importantly, I want to invite everyone to post in the “comments section” at least one thing for which they are grateful that year.

Here’s the experiment part of this…I want to prove that gratitude transforms peoples lives…and ultimately, transforms the world.

The more people who do this, the more energy builds…the kind of transformational energy that transforms the world. We are transforming the world one gratitude at a time.

We want to participate in intentional gratitude, or rather “proactive gratitude.” It is active appreciation of everything around us, everything in our lives that is good, and even those things which don’t feel so good right now because every challenge in our lives has a gift hidden in it. Our part is to look for that gift and call it forth.

Intentional gratitude is an energy that multiplies our blessings and attracts more good into our lives. This fact has been proven over and over again in so many people’s lives. So let’s harness this power of gratitude by taking a few moments everyday to write down what we are grateful for. The act of writing it down and posting it for the world to see activates the law of attraction and multiplies our good quickly.

Make a commitment now, to post at least one gratitude a day here on this blog and watch your life transform.
