Thank You Gifts On Thanksgiving Day

Hostess gifts aren’t the only thank you gifts we carry with us on Thanksgiving Day. In the midst of the shopping, menu planning, organizing, and housecleaning, we sometimes forget that Thanksgiving isn’t really about the food, but about giving thanks – and the benefits of gratitude are many.
For some, giving thanks is a pure and simple prayer at the dinner table; and it’s impor
tant to stop and count our blessings on this special day. This year, take notice of how you feel as you concentrate on giving thanks for your good health, your family and friends, and all of the other important aspects of your life. Do you feel lighter? Is your spirit elevated? Are you smiling a little more than usual?
Gratitude does, indeed, raise our energy level. It’s the most powerful energy that the body can produce because it has the ability to create joy. If you live in gratitude 365 days a year, your life will change drastically. I don’t mean in just the way you feel, but also in what is happening around you. You will literally find yourself manifesting your dreams.
Why? Because we are made of energy, and so is everything around us. We are like magnets that are programmed to attract like-kind energy. So if you feel bad most of the time, the things that come into your life will match the way you feel. If you feel good, then the things that happen in your life will feel good to you. This is a simple version of what we call The Law of Attraction, but beginning with the basics will get you strong results.
So, if you’ve attracted things that don’t feel so good, or you want your life to get even better, try feeling gratitude – and the joy that comes with it – many times throughout your day. Begin with 20 seconds, 3 times a day. Close your eyes, focus on your heart, and think about something that brings joy to your heart. Hold that elevated emotion for a mere 20 seconds and notice how it affects you. Ahhhh, feels good doesn’t it?
Go ahead, take this challenge, and let me know how it feels after 30 days. The changes will probably be subtle at first; you may feel less stress or a bit more energy. But over time, I think you’ll be surprised at the gift that gratitude itself will bring into your life.
