If you want to attract all that you want in life, Gratefulness is an attitude you need to learn. Which is why we are taking the time to discuss this all-important law of attraction gratitude exercises. They will help you attain harmony with universal laws.

Because gratitude is very simple, it is normal for people to underestimate its powers. People generally prefer to believe things that appear complicated. I want to advise you to maintain an open mind about the methods we will discuss here in order to bring about positive changes to your life.

Most successful people have a morning habit that includes a brief period of meditation over the things that they have gone through in the recent past or the things that are going on in their life currently. They do this always before getting out of bed. This habit is one of the most effective ways to connect to higher vibrations. It is also a proven way to become a lot happier.

To live a happier life where you are always getting great opportunities, there is a need for you to realign your outlook of the world around you and start seeing the many good things that life has to offer. Success is primarily a function of your mindset. In order to achieve your greatest dreams in life, there is a need to focus on building a mindset of abundance. To do this successfully, you need to have a gratitude attitude.

At the end of the day, you need to know that you can transform your life positively through gratitude and turn things around for yourself. Let us consider some of the small personality traits that are crucial to achieving your heart desires in life.

What makes gratitude powerful?

Let me begin by sharing with you some things that I have learned from my personal growth programs and books.

The subconscious mind contains all the answers and solutions to any problem you might be facing right now. At every point in time, we are bombarded with countless information from the world around us. Our minds filter all of this information and bring only the data which aligns with our individual view of the world around us to us.

This means the key to everything you are looking for is always right there before you. The only reason you are not seeing it is that your mind is blocking it from entering into your field of view.

It is impossible to manifest your desires until you have learned how to get rid of limiting beliefs in your subconscious mind which are generating negative thoughts that have been working against you.

There is no point in making wishes and forming conscious intentions until you have learned to let things to pass through the walls that your mind has created.

In some ways, we can say that the greatest enemy preventing you from achieving your heart desires is you. While it is true that you are making some conscious efforts to achieve what you want, at the same time you engage your mind in thoughts that build negative perspectives which block you from being able to see clearly, the right paths to achieving your dreams.

When you build a very strong awareness of the present moment for yourself while learning to enjoy the moments to the fullest, you are able to reach a state of flow where your desires come to manifestation quickly. Having an attitude of gratitude is indeed a powerful tool that gets you a lot closer to achieving this.

While it is true that mindfulness exercises or good meditation exercises can help you attain a higher state of awareness, learning to be grateful for your own life just the way it is will help you to naturally begin to live in the present and enjoying it more than you have ever been able to.

Being genuinely grateful for all that you have right now opens up your energy field and allows more good to manifest all around you. Apart from this, I have discovered from reading books that gratefulness can also help you get rid of negative karma.

Let us now consider some exercises that can help you achieve this.

Gratitude exercises

In this part of the post, we will go over some effective exercises that you can make use of. However, you should practice these tips anyhow you want to. Just make sure you do whatever you are doing with a genuine feeling. These exercises cannot help you achieve specific things; you need to start developing positive habits and concentrate on the great things you have going for you until it becomes a part of your natural qualities.

• Practice Morning Gratitude

Like I mentioned earlier, the best way to start your morning is to begin by meditating over all that you love in your life at the moment. You need to simply lie down or sit-up in your bed after you have woken up and consider the things that have made you very happy in previous days while expressing your gratitude to the higher power of the universe for the things that have brought you happiness so far.

• Keeping a Gratitude Journal

Keeping a gratitude journal is not something most people find very easy (even I find it hard to do so), but it is more effective to write down things that you are thankful for than merely thinking about them.

Your subconscious mind is better aware of things that you write down with strong emotions than things you try to keep in your mind. If you feel up to it, get yourself a nice journal and write down the things you are grateful for. How often you do this depends entirely on you. Whether it is daily or weekly. Just make sure you are making a list of the things that you are happy.

When writing, you can begin your journal entry with the words “I am so grateful and happy that___” then write about those things which you love. This might be something as insignificant as your early morning coffee or even a lovely song you couldn’t stop listening to all day.

• Say Grace before your Meals

Even if you are not Catholic, this simple ritual is something you can practice. Each time you are sitting down to eat your meal, you should always remind yourself to express gratitude to the higher powers.

Think of all the good things that have happened to you during the day prior to that time whenever you sit at the table to have your meal. You can also say some thanks for the food you are about to it.

• Active Gratitude

This last point is actually my favorite. It is something I have mentioned a couple of times in some posts. With time, active gratitude will become second nature.

Whenever you experience anything that evokes a positive feeling within you, you should say “thanks” for it immediately. Doing this is perhaps the best and the sincerest way of showing you are grateful. When you are able to say thanks for any good thing that happens per time, you do so with a sincere feeling.

Some moments ago, a close friend that I haven’t heard from for a long time called me. I said thanks immediately after I took the call because I was really happy. That’s exactly how it works. You don’t need something big to happen before you show gratitude. It doesn’t have to be something big like winning the lottery or getting a promotion. Most people concentrate so much on their desires or the things they are yet to achieve that they end up ignoring those things that truly matter.

Many of us would do anything to go back to being teenagers, but if you think about it you will remember that when you were a teen, you desperately wanted to grow up. At every point in time, we are losing and gaining things. Unfortunately, we only get to realize later on.

Thus you should start paying attention to even the small things you are enjoying right now in order to develop a gratitude attitude.

The post How to Practice Gratitude Everyday for Easy Manifestations appeared first on Attract Wellness.

Here are eight creative things you can do to immediately start moving closer to your dreams. I’ve done all of these things, and many, many more.

Are some silly and embarrassing? Yes.

Is living the life you dream of worth it? Hell, yes.

1. Write a blueprint for your life.

Write down (or I suppose you could draw/paint if you’re so inclined) a narration depicting the amazing, clarifying, and happy events that are soon to unfold in your life. Don’t write things like, “I hope” or “I want.” Instead, confidently go into future-mode and reminisce by writing things like, “I did” or “I went.” 

The point is to show yourself how things might go, not how they will go—there shouldn’t be any “insistence” that things will go exactly as you write. Simply review what you’ve written from time to time for inspiration, or to charge yourself up before you visualize. You’ll find, particularly if you’ve been feeling low, that this exercise stirs hope and creates new possibilities for manifestations in your life.

2. Write a letter to the Universe.

Write a letter to the Universe expressing your feelings of love and gratitude for the way your life is going and has gone. Tell yourself about your amazing successes, the dreams of yours that have come true, what you did to achieve them, how your life looks now, etc.

Write this letter as if all of your current dreams have already been reached. If your wiser, future self has a deeper understanding about life, a greater sense of peace and happiness, a clearer vision of what’s important, be sure to include that as well.

3. Write yourself love letters and checks from admirers, friends, and businesses.

This one is as fun as it sounds. In my visualization scrapbook, I used to have a picture of a beautiful woman  from a magazine advertisement for a Hawaiian resort. She didn’t know it, but we were having a passionate love affair. During the creation of my audio program, Infinite Possibilities, I was promising myself to go to Hawaii as my reward, and preferably with someone like her.

Similarly, long before I was ever published, I’d write myself letters from publishers, who, as you might imagine, were crazy-happy to have found me and loved my writings. Something else I did: I called the provided toll-free number of my lender to get the payoff amount of my home mortgage. I acted as if I could pay mine off.

They gave me the exact amount, to the penny, and as a further demonstration, I wrote the check, envelope, and stamped it. (I did not mail it—given my account balance, doing so would have been illegal.) But I remember thinking, Yes! I’m going be that person one day!

4. Digitally modify images and photos.

I thought the suggested cover Simon & Schuster sent me for Infinite Possibilities was a bit lackluster (not really—it just lacked some key elements). So, with some art software, I set out to improve it.

I added: “New York Times Bestseller! 52 weeks!” I emblazoned across the top: “Seven million copies sold,” “As seen on Oprah and Larry King Live,” “Now in 25 languages,” which is a number that “coincidentally” matches how many foreign languages I’m now published in.

I printed my manipulated cover and plastered it on the walls and doors around my home. If you’re not good with digital manipulation, scissors and glue work just fine.

5. Fill in a mock calendar.

Find a calendar or planner and fill the days and months with wonderful events, trips, parties, dates, and adventures that you want to create for yourself in the year ahead.

This is a fun way to get creative and envision new things unfolding in your life. After you’ve filled in the days, hang it up to remind yourself of the exciting things you’re going to create and experience in the year ahead. 

6. Have pretend talks with family and friends.

This activity requires a friend, on the phone or in person, who understands your way of seeing the world. If no friend is available, try it with an imaginary friend or your own reflection in the mirror.

The goal is for the two (or more) of you to celebrate as if your present dreams have already come true. Speak about your dreams in the past or present tense. If you go first, speak about the success of your own dreams, and then congratulate your friend(s) on their successes.

After you’ve spoken for a few minutes, then allow your friend(s) to do the same, speaking of their own dreams coming true, and then speaking of your successes. Get into the elaborate details of all the expected and unexpected consequences that have come from the successes in each of your lives.

7. Scrapbooks and vision boards.

Make a scrapbook or vision board. These are awesome tools, because they steer your thinking toward end results representing the life of your dreams, bypassing the “cursed hows.” And then, those thoughts, when acted upon, will become things. Vision boards, scrapbooks, pictures on the refrigerator, and similar visual tools are used to spark the process of envisioning.

8. Overpay your revolving credit, car, and mortgage payments.

Never pay “the minimum,” which would be like calling the lender and saying, “Oh, hey, this is Mike Dooley.

I was just wondering… what is the absolute least, to the penny, that I could pay this month, without getting in big trouble?” That’s not the energy you want to put out there on the “plain of manifestation.” What would it say about your belief in the avalanches of abundance now rushing toward you? Not much.

Instead, here’s a trick: round up to the next dollar. If you owe $352.16, pay $353, because you’re not the kind of person who pays the minimum, ever again. The day will come when it’s not pennies.

It will be dollars, and then hundreds of dollars, and then tens of thousands. And eventually, the day will come when you don’t have those debts anymore.
