Gratitude List for 2010

Do you want to end the year on an energetic high and begin the momentum for creating a magnificent New Year?   Then join me in my annual end-of-the-year activity: making a list of 100 things to be grateful for this year.  

Don’t have 100 things to be grateful for you say?  Ah, I’ll bet you do. We all do. You just have to exercise the gratitude part of your brain a bit.

So get out your journal or yellow legal tablet and just start it.  It may seem overwhelming at first, but just start with one…then another one will come…then another.  It doesn’t have to be huge, monumental things.  The small blessings are just as important.  Once you get started you will be amazed at how many things come to you that you hadn’t really considered before. And that’s the great thing about this exercise.  It trains your brain to notice what most people overlook.  And once you do notice it, it’s yours…you own it. It becomes a part of your life.  That energy then carries you into the New Year on a vibration that will attract more and more of same to you.

So go on. Get out your paper and just begin. You can take a couple of days if you want. There’s no rush. Take your time with it and enjoy.  Then, let me know how it goes for you.

Many blessings for a magnificent New Year!

Gratitude Experiment: Day 27

Another end-of-the-year activity I look forward to is the list of 100 things to be grateful for that year. In addition to the 100 things to be grateful for is a list of 100 things for which I acknowledge myself during the year….those things I accomplished when it wasn’t easy, fears I’ve overcome and places where I grew…even just a little, this year. This exercise was given to me by my dear friend, life coach, Rhonda Britten (way back before she was famous.) It proved to be a very powerful tool for self-acceptance and living in the energy of gratitude. It closes out the year on an energetic upswing, helps me own my power and sets me up to create a fabulous new year.

I recomend it highly.  So get out your notebook or yellow legal tablet and just start it.  It may seem overwhelming at first, but just start with one…then another one will come…then another.  It doesn’t have to be huge, monumental things.  The small blessings are just as important.  It’s when we acknowledge our blessings in this way that we begin to see how amazing our life really is and how fabulous we really are. And when we do that, we cannot help but attract even more.

My Gratitudes for today…

I am grateful that my kids love the winter break camp they’re in and both are getting to experience how joyful it can be to help kids who are younger or have special needs. It warms my heart.

I am grateful for the conversation with my husband and his understanding and support of me.

I am grateful that everything is falling into place in a perfectly synchronistic way.

I am grateful.
