6 gratitudes a day

Some gurus say 6, others say 7, the most ambitious say 10 gratitudes a day. One is supposed to take some time each morning upon waking up to recite 6 to 10 gratitudes. Others say it is at night. Others say morning, midday and before bedtime. What is not clear is if one has to think of a new set of gratitudes for each instance or if one is allowed to use the same ones over and over until new ones pop into mind :-)

Some days are better than others. Actually, it is not so much that you have a bad day it's just that if you go through an uneventful day, what do you have to be grateful for? Oh! I had a great day. The world didn't blow up in my face, terrorists did not burst into my home and taken me hostage, The bank did not foreclose on me. I mean how absurd can one get? Hey, today I just sat at my computer, like I do everyday. I did the jobs that had to be done, like I do every day. So, I guess, like this morning and yesterday morning, noon and nite and like tonite, I have to be grateful that I have a PC, and a chair, and a house, and electricity, and a fast Internet connection, and somenone to send contracts over to me on a regular basis so that I can pay my bills on time.

Maybe I need more action in my life so that I can come up with new and fresh things I can be grateful for. Like when I go scuba diving, I could be grateful that a shark did not eat me up. Given that I was diving in a freshwater lake with no direct connection with an ocean may have helped in that matter but still, I'm grateful.

I guess for today I can be grateful that:

1)I have electricity
2)a working PC
3)fast internet connection
4)my home based company
5)money in the bank
6)a roof over my head
7)my 5 senses
8)high bandwidth brain
9)access to more positive thinking self-empowering teaching material that I can shake a stick at.
10) finally, the health and energy to actually take time to put into practice what I am learning in order to better myself

There you go, 10 things to be grateful for.

Now I can relax and watch a DVD tonite. Hey does that count as number 11 ?

Getting started with gratitude

Gratitude is an important part of the law of attraction. In order to reach out for what we want, we have to be aware of what we already have.

It also makes us look more into ourselves and get to know who we really are.

By getting into the habit of being thankful on a daily basis, it is hoped that we can become a better person and feel worthy of all the things we receive because we are grateful for all that we receive -- small things big things every thing.
