7 Gratitude Practices to Transform Your Perspective On Life(+ Affirmation Poem)
“Let us rise up and be thankful. For if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.”
Oftentimes you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed by the many demands of life. Sometimes it can seem like everything is going wrong and that the world is working against you. When we get into this mindset, it is easy to forget all of the hidden blessings that happen for you without you even being aware of it happening! With practice, I believe that the key for changing your perspective on life to attract abundance starts with gratitude. Everyone feels the power of gratitude differently. Personally, gratitude feels like unconditional love radiating from my heart. I’ve mentioned before that by Universal Law, what you think and feel is energy; and whatever energy you put out, is what you receive.
If you find yourself constantly worrying, you are letting the Universe know that you do not trust that things can work in your favor. Instead, gift yourself moments of gratitude for the multitude of forces that have come together for your well being.
I’ve gathered some of my favorite gratitude practices from the book, “The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne, that I implement into my everyday life. If you are interested in the complete 28 Day Practice, consider grabbing yourself a copy of the book!

1. Gratitude for wellness
As you all know, we are experiencing a global crisis concerning health. This has created a lot of fear in the collective. I believe that it is important to take moments to silence your thoughts & really give thanks for all the miraculous things your body does every day that you are unaware of. We tend to only feel gratitude for our health when we are feeling ill. There is so much power in being able to have the force of gratitude embedded into your daily life. Here are a few examples of miraculous things our body does that we tend to overlook:
Give Gratitude For Your Senses. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to see and feel your loved ones, smell cookies in the oven, taste your favorite food and drinks, and listen to your favorite music. It’s also important to give gratitude for your intuition and put energy towards trusting your gut.
Gratitude For Your Internal Body. Give thanks for your organs, cells, and complex systems that keep your body going day by day. If it wasn’t for the health of our internal systems, we wouldn’t be alive. I think it is important to do research on learning how your body functions internally, so you have a better understanding on how to take care of it.
Gratitude For Your External Body. Give thanks for everything that your hands, arms, feet and legs help you do. If you have experienced loss of one of these mobilities, it is even more imperative to give thanks for what you do have.
