Be Grateful For What Makes You Happy

August 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Day 27 The Gratitude Challenge

Happiness

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive ~ Howard Thurman.
Day 27 of the Gratitude Challenge: Today’s challenge is to focus is doing and being what makes you happy Nicole says:

Life is not a career path! Life is a glorious opportunity to explore, to grow, to learn and to become.

No matter whether our lives currently reflect the way we want to live, or whether we have a long way to go to realise our dreams, we can begin to be happy where we are.

The more we find to be grateful for, the more good stuff starts to show up in our lives.  Transforming our energy and our attitude is as simple as cultivating that attitude of gratitude.

If you were to ask me what your purpose was for this lifetime, I could answer this in just two words – Be Happy. Read more here

My 5 blessings for today are:

  1. I am grateful for friends K & J who spent yesterday with us because it made me realise how special true friendship is.  It give me goosebumps and makes me feel so happy.

  4. I feel so grateful we have a car because we were able to drive our friends yesterday to their family because we also got to see the beautiful countryside and see a wonderful sunset sky
  5. I am so grateful for the fishermen who go out in their boats because yesterday while we were at Brunswick heads we went to the Fisherman’s Cooperative and bought wild caught leatherjackets that had just been caught and I am grateful that they wrapped them in ice to bring them home.

Think of a place that you are grateful for.  It could be something that speaks to you of majesty or freedom, it could be a place where you feel relaxed or safe, it could be a place where your creativity always flows…

Ponder for a moment what makes this particular place special to you.

Then ask yourself, how can I bring some of that magic into my day today?

Find a small way to connect into that energy. Celebrate and give thanks for that blessing of environment, and its gifts for you. Read more here 

Where is your special place? What memories does it hold for you?

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
  2. I am truly grateful to facebook because of all the love and support I receive.
  3. I am very grateful for the fresh hot lemon drink I have each morning as it help to cleanse and alkalize my system and gives me a great start to the day
  4. I feel so blessed that I have great eyesight and can feast on all the gifts that nature puts out there for me to delight in each day
  5. I am so grateful to Joyce Schwarz for Vision Board Course that  expanded and simplified my vision board skills

So what do you really want in your life what’s you vision for tomorrow?

Now I am off to count my blessings and be so grateful – wishing you a joy filled day. Please share your blessings below or at http://facebook.com/suziecheel

“You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.” ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

Day 1 Gratitude Challenge

July 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I loved this quote Nicole shared on day 1 of the Gratitude Challenge

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.” ~Meister Eckhart

Today’s practice has 3 parts which we are to follow each day of the challenge and beyond: Firstly is to share 5 things I am grateful for and why:

  1. I am so grateful for sun shining at the beach this morning because it gives me vitamin D that builds my bones
  2. I am very grateful for fresh strawberries I had for breakfast because they tasted so delicious and smelt yummy
  3. I am  blessed to have a garden because I can grow fresh herbs and veggies
  4. I am so grateful for all the love and support I have, because it helps me to heal.
  5. I am grateful for my ipod, because I can do my special shiver shaking outside in the sun
Secondly to counted my blessings on my fingers following Nicole’s instructions:
Count each Blessing like this – Touch your thumb and say Today I am grateful for _______________.  As you list each Blessing, visualise that thing in your mind, and summon emotion about that thing.  Feel yourself smile, or radiate love, or feel positive, encouraged, comforted or any other  emotion that makes you feel good. Then say Thank You from your heart.
Thirdly to use the Gratitude Rock you have chosen at night before you go to sleep. Hold it in your hand and say  I am richly Blessed. I have an Abundance of Good in my life.  then reviewing your blessings from the morning oe other things you are grateful for from your day. You might carry the rock with you during the gay or leave it by your bed to use each night…… read this in more detail at Cauldrons and Cupcakes

Join The 30 Day Gratitude Program and Change Your Life

July 18, 2012 by 2 Comments

Are you ready to change your life?

gratiude challenge

Yesterday my friend and soul sister Nicole Cody from the  blog Cauldron and Cupcakes: don’t you just love the name :) announced that she was going to run a 30 Day Gratiutde Challenge. She is doing this to help someone who currently is finding life challenging. In turn so many people will become empowered.

Nicole asks:

Are you ready to change your life?  Are you ready to attract things that make you smile, that improve your health, that attract better jobs and relationships, that make you laugh, that fill your bank account with money and your heart with love and gladness?

If your answer is yes, then read on at Nicole’s blog

I have decided to join in and also it is s great way to give this blog some love. I also know the power of counting your blessings can change one’s life. Writing it down increases the power and i have been slack in this area recently.

So what do I have to do to get started?

  • First I have to start a journal: I have decided to use this blog as my journal for now
  • Find a gratitude rock or crystal that will fit in my hand
  • Allocate 20 minutes a day to do read the daily challenge and complete the activity- this is going to be fun. Nicole suggests 2 x 10 minutes will suffice.
  • Write out  the pledge below in your journal and then repeat it out loud so the Universe knows :)

Dear Universe,

I am open to the possibility that there is more for me in this life, and I am ready to receive these Blessings by offering my thanks and gratitude in reciprocation.

I am so very grateful for my life, and for the learning opportunities I am being shown.

I am ready to embrace positive change and to accept an avalanche of good in my life. 

My commitment to you is that for the next 30 days (and beyond) I am willing to look for and name things I am thankful for, and to celebrate the many Blessings I already have.

With love and gratitude,

Suzie
