appreciation exercise

Inspirational and motivational experts encourage us to incorporate a gratitude and appreciation practice into our lives. This helps bring us into a very positive state of awareness and receiving.

As we appreciate the good in our lives and focus on it, the exhilarating positive vibrations that we give off serve to draw more of the same to us! Understanding and using this concept can greatly enhance our life by supercharging our sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

Here’s another super-simple way to begin an appreciation and gratitude exercise daily – just start thinking and speaking your appreciation for everything you see all day. Start with the things in your immediate vicinity when you wake up in the morning.

“I appreciate this bed. I appreciate these slippers. I appreciate having a cozy home to live in.” As you continue with your day, deliberately focus on your appreciation for everything and everyone you encounter.

Short and sweet video meditation to follow along with. Don’t stop after this, however, keep it going! Make long lists of things you appreciate and feel grateful for! Bask in the feeling of gratitude on every subject of your life.

If you ever have a difficult time getting into a state of appreciation, start by appreciating the feeling of appreciation. It’s a great way to get your thoughts focused on the feeling of appreciation, even if you can’t think of anything to appreciate.

Try this exercise each day and watch how quickly it improves the way you think about money and abundance – AND begins drawing more and more good things into your life:
