Abundant Thinking Comes From Counting Our Blessings

July 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Day 10 : The Gratitude Challenge

Intuitive Heart

It’s Day 10 of the Gratitude Challenge and today I see Nicole has shared one of a wonderful quotes from Winnie The Pooh:

“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.” ~ A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Day 10 of the Gratitude Challenge is about our Abundant Thinking……Nicole writes

Our future is not fixed.  It is mutable and constantly changing in response to our thoughts, actions and beliefs.

When we believe that our Universe is abundant, and that it is a kind, safe and helpful place – indeed, that the Universe can be utterly delightful – then we start attracting more and more of that kind of positive energy into our lives.

From that place of Abundant Thinking and Gratitude we start to find ourselves expanding. We begin to feel more uplifted, more upbeat.  We gain confidence.

We begin to believe in possibilities. We begin to allow the Grace of the Universe to touch our lives. We get ourselves out of resistance and back into flow.

And from that place of flow, our lives change forever.

But how do we get to that place? Abundant thinking is created by counting our blessings.

My 5 blessings for today are:

  1. I am grateful for the warmth of my bed because this morning it is cold outside so it is wonderful to snuggle under the covers
  2. I am truly grateful to Nicole for the wonderful abundance meditation that is part of today’s Gratitude Party
  3. I am very grateful for the sun shining through the trees because I know that the day ahead will be full of love and golden opportunities to be truly grateful.
  4. I feel so blessed for the comfrey (knitbone) growing in my garden because this will help to heal my bones and especially thanks this week to Bill who has kept my supply up and gave me a new plant. I now have 4 plants growing so soon I will be able to pick 4 hands each day from my own garden.
  5. I am so grateful to Michael Losier who first taught me the importance of abundance

Day 8 of the Gratitude Challenge

July 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment

What’s Your Vision For Tomorrow?

My Creativie Vision

It’s Day 8 of the Gratitude Challenge and today I see Nicole has shared one of my favorite gratitude quotes from Melody Beattie:

“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

The last line of this saying creates a vision for tomorrow is the add on for today’s challenge asking us today, to  think of something you really want. Then think of someone who has it already.

Day 8 of the Gratitude Challenge  which also asks us whether we are in flow: are we allowing or are we resisting .read more here 

My 5 blessings for today are:

  1. I am grateful for the peace I feel in my heart this morning after a good sleep

Day 7- The Gratitude Challenge

My gratitude rock charging up my $5 note and my new money magnet

“When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears.” ~ Anthony Robbins

Today is money day at  Day 7 of the Gratitude Challenge : Nicole says: “In order to create financial flow we need to feel abundant. We have to develop positive feelings and thoughts about money. How can you tell if you are in resistance to money.”

  • Do you love your bills?
  • Or do you curse them?
  • Do you feel you are abundant ?
  • Or you suffer from lack?

When you see and feel the abundance that you are and that you have and are truly grateful you will see you financial abundance grow to. This will not happen when you live in fear with lack and are critical. So today head over and read Nicole’s post on Money Wealth Abundance and giving thanks.

My 5 blessings for today are:

  1. I am grateful for Des putting $5 in my wallet yesterday so I could complete the Day 7 challenge such synchronicity
  2. I am truly grateful the abundance of books I have because this allows me to give thanks for the money i have that has purchased then thank you thank you thank you.
  3. I am very grateful today for the sun shining as it lifts my spirits makes me feel good and always puts a smile on my face
