Gratitude and Grace

As the Peak Performance Expert, I help people

remove the

 mental limitations that prevent them from achieving 

greater success

. 

One of the main emotional blocks

 I see among my clients

and others

, time and time again,

is

 this:

a diminished

 capacity for gratitude. 

We, as a society,

 seem to have forgotten what it means to 

receive 

with grace. To 

experience and 

express

gratitude, 

which is a 

blessing in itself

.

In fact, we've replaced the practice of gratitude with a negative mindset, that of 

dissatisfaction

. We spend 

each and every

 hour 

striving to do more and 

be 

more 

without taking a moment, a 

mindful pause, to give thanks to the universe and our Creator for all the resources we already have

.

Instead, we barrel forward with our heads down, focused entirely on 

the end result

 rather than the present moment that is perfect just as it is.

In 

fact,

 it is God who reminds us of 

our innate perfection

. Not only is this moment perfect,

 but we too are 

made perfect in His image. God also reminds

 us that 

generosity is part of the natural order

.

Romans 8:32 speaks of the grace that comes with

giving and receiving:

"He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:32

The good news is that yo

u

can beginning 

practice gratitude

 in the here and now. You

 can

give yourself permission to feel

 joy in

receiving the gifts of the universe

.

 When you open your heart to this energy, you will only 

ever 

attract

 positive

 things

.

Greet each moment

 with your palms 

up. 

You can think of 

palms up 

in a figurative way, signifying an open-

hearted and receptive approach 

toward 

the universe.

You

 can also p

ractice

 this position literally by 

sitting in meditation with your 

palms up. Mindfully c

onsider the things in your life that you're grateful for.

 We often take the things in our lives for granted

, so no

w is the 

time

 to pause and give thanks for

 the 

small

 things that give our lives meaning will in turn bring those larger gifts we desire i.e. abundance, prosperity, peace of mind, high quality relationships, strong communication skills.

When you practice gratitude, it

 becomes 

habitual, 

something that comes 

naturally

 to you. Y

ou are in effect creating more life-affirming energy that sustains you rather than depletes you, 

as I've explained in another article

about the 

laws of biocentrism

.

Here's another way of putting this elegant, simplified truth. When we appreciate even the smallest things, such as a kind gesture or the check in our hand, our liveliness quite literally appreciates.It leads to an endless, abundant energetic flow, an increase in the value and positive meaning of our lives over time. 

Energy attracts like energy

. If you're ready to 

begin 

the life-altering practice of transforming your current energy in

 new, positive, elevating ways

, 

reach out to me.

 I look forward to beginning that journey with you!
