1. Bring curiosity to feeling Gratitude ~ Throughout the day, notice how grateful you can feel for any simple thing. Be aware of how each experience of gratitude feels in your body, in your heart, in your mind, and in your being. Notice if there’s any resistance to this. And bring compassion and kindness to yourself.
2. Take a few minutes when you wake up and before you fall asleep to ask yourself, “What am I grateful for?” ~ Bring to mind three to ten things; and notice how good you feel as you shift into a Higher Frequency.
3. Write Gratitude notes ~ letters or emails to family members, close friends and loved ones. Also to people you have seen in a long time. Write to Mother Earth, or Mother Nature, write to your guides, angels, loved ones so have passed. Write to the archangels, write to Source or to anyone you want and choose to express your gratitude.
4. Speak your Gratitude to people ~ Feel the joy of sharing your gratitude as a gift. Just walk up to people and say, “I am grateful for you in my life.” And then say more about that. And you can do this with your pets, birds and animals, flowers, trees, the sky, there clouds, the sun, the moon, the dark starry night. And to all the unseen beings too: Speak your gratitude out loud!
5. Hold a Gratitude circle ~ Invite people to come together, indoors or outdoors.
