Count your blessings-The Power of gratitude.

What is Gratitude ?

It's a feeling of being thankful. Expressing thanks to someone for something.

Today I challenge you to count your blessings & express gratitude to God/Universe for each blessing you have in your life.

Do you know what happens when we do that?

We attract more blessings into our life. (100% true)

Every minute thing like breathing, for our eyes, nose, hands, legs, ears, for air, clouds, trees, food, people, shelter, things.. Everything you have in your life is something you should be grateful of. There are people less fortunate who don't have those. Thank god that he gave you all this, these things are never to be taken for granted.

I read a story long time back, I'd like to share it with you all..

There a lived a father & a son in a village & his son suffered from a serious disease, doctors told father that he only have 2 months in his hand.

Ofcourse it is heart breaking for a father to hear that. One day when he was praying to god about saving his child he found a blue shiny looking rock just below his leg, he picked it up & a man standing besides him who heard him praying for his child told him that its a gratitude rock.

"A gratitude rock? what do you mean by that?" questioned the father.

Men replied that "whenever you touch this rock you have to remember one blessing of yours & thank god for the same, this way god send more blessings in your life & fulfils your wishes". He showed one same looking rock that he carried in his pocket.

Father was so happy out of joy & hope. He carried the rock with him in his pocket everywhere he went & whenever he use to touch the rock , he thanked god for the good stuffs in his life & also prayed for his child.

After 3 months he went to the same place where he prayed previously & met that men again. The father was so thankful to god , he shared his story with that men & told him that doctors were shocked to see his son recovering from that deadly disease & now his disease was cured for life. It was like a miracle.

After few months, father & son went to the shore & collected similar looking stones & sold them to those who needed it. They named it as Gratitude stone . And they were so happy to hear all different stories of miracles that started happening in everyones lives who prayed & thanked god for what they have.

This is the power of gratitude.

Counting your blessing & feeling gratitude about it will lead you to a perfect life, perfect health, will fulfil your wishes & attract more & more blessings in your life.

I have read & heard about all this but I am also sharing this because I have experienced it myself. It is a ritual for me that I do gratitude exercise in my daily life. I do take time out to thank god for all the blessings he have showered on me & I am so lucky that my blessings keep adding & I keep thanking.

What do I do in my gratitude exercise?

I have a gratitude journal where I write things I am grateful for especially when I am overwhelmed with joy or when I feel low. I remember my blessings & jot it down in that journal. This way my mood automatically boots up & I smile .

I never forget to thank god when he makes me smile.

When my husband is asleep, I kiss him on his forehead & say "Thank you god for giving me him".

When my baby looks into my eyes & smiles, I say " Thank you god for such a cute blessing". It brings happy tears in my eyes.

When I eat my favourite food, like when I finish eating my sandwich or when I eat a bourville & get the satisfaction, I say "Thank you god for the sandwich/that chocolate, I love you"

When I am into some problem & feel like crying, I thank god that he gave me my mom where I can just hug her & all my problems go away.

Like ways I show my gratitude for every thing in my life.

I thanked him so much when I visited Maldives, it was in my wishlist & it got fulfilled. I thanked him when I got the diamond ring that I always dreamed of .. & there are many such examples where I keep showing god & universe my gratitude & they keep fulfilling & showering all my wishes & blessings.

I shared my story, but there are so many miraculous stories out there where people's lives have changed after they started practicing gratitude.

If you start counting your blessings & keep showing gratitude to the universe , you keep attracting the same thing back. Thats the law of attraction. And it applies for negative things too, if you keep complaining about stuffs in your life , you will attract more such stuffs back .

Shift your focus on your blessings & see your life turning for the good.

Do share with me what all you would try to show gratitude to the universe /god.

Keep counting your blessings & see how powerful exercising gratitude is.

Stay blessed.

Sharing great vibes.

Happy day.

Happy life.
