Gratitude Manifestation: 101 Things to Be Grateful for
Bestselling Manifestation Book Author of 'Become the CEO of Your Dream Life'
When you focus on things to be grateful for, you naturally get more of what you are grateful for. Gratitude is one of the healthiest emotions for your body. It sends chemicals through your body that encourage revitalization and calmness. Focusing on gratitude also activates your reticular activation system: the part of your brain that notices things that are similar to what you’re giving importance to.
We are blessed to live in a world where we get more of what we focus on. When you are stuck focusing on things you don’t want, you will naturally make decisions based on insecurity and fear because your brain is tuned into the frequency of it.
However, when you focus on what you do want, your body and brain react similarly, leading you to make decisions based on hope, love, and gratitude.
By focusing on gratitude, you put yourself into a state of already having everything you want and need, instead of feeling lack. When you feel whole, you broadcast this frequency, attracting more of it, and you also notice more things similar to what you’re grateful for.
That is why it is so important to keep your mind on things to be grateful for. Even the little ones or stuff we take for granted.
You may be wondering, what should I be thankful for? Here is an exhaustive list of 101 things to be grateful for that you can focus on today to start attracting more of what you desire.
Don’t forget; it doesn’t really matter how big something is you are grateful for, it’s all about the feeling itself. Your subconscious mind can’t distinguish why you feel that way; it just needs you to feel it.
