During a beautiful client session recently, we did a wonderful exercise which was all about having an “attitude of gratitude”. You might have heard that term a few times before but it really is very meaningful. So I’m asking you, what are you grateful for?
It’s easy to make a mental or written list of everything you might be grateful for at any time of day. We can start and end the day with a short gratitude list or just think about it as we go about our activities.
No matter how hard life can get sometimes, gratitude is the most powerful way to get into that calmer space, be happier and welcome wonderful new experiences into your life.
This gorgeous quote from the amazing Louise Hay is just perfect, I think.
I have noticed that the Universe loves gratitude. The more grateful you are, the more ‘goodies’ you get.
I don’t mean only material things. I mean all the people, places and experiences that make life so wonderfully worth living
Louise Hay
Did you know research shows that being genuinely grateful:
· regulates the sympathetic nervous system that can calm potential anxiety responses;
· helps the brain to manage negative ruminations and focus on positive thoughts;
· is a catalyst for neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine that manage your emotions, anxiety, and stress response?
How about embodying gratitude through movement?
I love really feeling gratitude in my body. Not just saying words or writing them down but FEELING the gratefulness in my body. If you like the idea of that, then you might like this short yoga practice from Adriene
By consciously practising gratitude, you can train your brain to pay attention to positive emotions and thoughts thus managing and reducing feelings of nervousness or anxiety.
As you can see, I have so much to say about gratitude! And I’ve only just got started!
I ask my clients “what are you grateful for?” a lot in our sessions. Developing the feelings of appreciation for our lives only bring more to be appreciative for.
