Look, I know we ALL complain, whinge, criticize, moan, groan at some stage or other...some more some less...it's a part of our culture and upbringing(for most of us. Almost everyone living in every nook and corner of this world does it. And yes, we all are aware of the fact that it’s not good to complain or criticize unnecessarily, still we tend to do so. BUT, honestly, it's really NOT necessary and if you can somehow STOP and think about what you are about to say and come from a place of gratitude, you will be AMAZED at what things WILL happen!
For me, it's a constant challenge. When I am feeling grumpy & moody I find myself complaining more that often. But I have really improved and I am now able to really watch what comes ut of my mouth & I have learnt, through my love of personal development books to come MORE from a place of Gratitude. And, the fact that I am married to the most positive, inspirational, gratfeul being on earth:)
For example...I used to catch myself saying things like "Gosh it's so hot today", "I am so fat", "I wish I lived closer to my sister" and "this steak is so tough" AND NOW I FIND MYSELF SAYING "I'm so grateful I live in sunny Perth", I am grateful I am attractive, my skin is clear & my hair is beautiful & curly", "I am grateful I live in Port Kennedy, Perth and not Nazareth, Israel(where Anan is from" and "I am grateful I have food on the table"
It's a learning process...being in a state of gratitude will change your life forever. Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.Gratitude creates the most wonderful feeling. It can resolve disputes. It can strengthen friendships. And it makes us better men and women. Gratitude on a daily basis means we express appreciation for what we have now without qualification for what we had in the past or desire in the future.
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
-- Melody Beattie, best selling author and journalist
I decided to share today a few tips, I believe these tips will help us all remain in a state of happiness and live the inspirational lives we truly desire to live.
First, we have to decide to be GRATEFUL. An inspirational life is filled with gratitude. Again, we have to decide to be grateful. Huh? Yes, gratitude is a decision, an emotion, and a state of being. Gratitude is synonymous with appreciation. When we are grateful, we increase. We increase the quality of our lives as well as our own vibration. By way of the law of attraction we draw more things to appreciate in our reality.
Second, if you find yourself in the company of complainers all too often, it is time to find some new people to hang-out with. Your subconscious mind is listening to this crap and if you hear enough of it, you will find yourself complaining too. If you want to enjoy life as you co-create your reality, then you can’t hang out with people who won’t stop complaining.
Third, accentuate the positive. Now this may sound like a rap song by Lil’ Wayne or JayZ, but I am totally and completely serious here. Discover ways to accentuate the positive. When I say accentuate the positive, I mean bring the positive things to your attention while other folks are complaining.
And one last tip, and I got this tip from my good friend Ranae. Each night, before you have dinner, hold hands with your partner and/or loved one/s and share 3 things you are Grateful for. My 4-year-old daughter Rhianna really looks forward to this each night and now truly understands the meaning of GRATITUDE.
Tonight, as we held hands as a family she said " I am grateful I have a yummy dinner tonight, chicken & rice & miso soup & salad...and i am grateful I can see Cadence tomorrow and I love Mummy & Daddy, I missed them today when I was at Kindy"
AWWWWWWW How cute is that !
With respect & gratitude, Linda :)
