These 33 powerful gratitude affirmations can change your life in more than one way. That is a bold promise but the results are undeniable.
When you shift your focus from what’s missing in your life, what’s not there (yet) and what’s wrong then your entire life shifts along.
The challenge is that most law of attraction literature promotes the idea of gratitude.
Practising gratitude tends to become a ‘chore’ and we are lead to believe that we “have to” practice gratitude in order to manifest our intentions.
While that is true to some extent, we need to take a step back and look at it more realistically.
Gratitude for the sake of gratitude has no meaning and no real power.
If you follow a gratitude practice because you feel like you have to then you will get nowhere.
Unless your practice of gratitude comes from deep inside you and you are able to really tap into the feelings of gratitude, you will miss out.
There are many gratitude practices. Keeping a gratitude journal, incantations, affirmations, meditation ec. No one is better or worse than any other.
The goal is ultimately to find a method that can help you tap into the feelings of gratitude.
The Power of Gratitude
Most people who get into the law of attraction and manifesting are consumed by what they don’t have. This is not all bad because the contrast is what urges us to have something better.
The problem with being consumed by what you don’t have is that it dominates your thoughts. The law of attraction dictates that wherever we focus on is what we will attract and so we keep attracting more of what we don’t want.
Gratitude is a powerful “tool” that can help you shift from being consumed by what you don’t have to being grateful for what you DO have.
Being grateful for what you already have is not about being complacent. Its about noticing and shifting your energy and your attention.
Whatever you place your energy and your attention on is what will manifest in your life.
With gratitude you can shift your energy. Gratitude is your way of communicating with the universe and opening up the doors to what you want to manifest.
From a psychological point of view, if you are not grateful for what you already have your mind remains shut down. It thinks to itself “why attract something better? It will probably not good enough either”.
Gratitude broadcasts an energy of already having it. If you are grateful for the little money you already have, it broadcasts an energy of abundance. It doesn’t matter if you are grateful for $1 or $1 million.
The energy is the same and that is what we want to focus on with our gratitude practice.
I’ve written a detailed explanation of the Pennies To Millions manifestation technique that outlines this idea very well. You can use gratitude to attract anything into your life by starting with being grateful for the small things.
How To Experience True Gratitude
Some people say that if you are truly and deeply grateful it will bring a tear to your eye. Of course this will be different for every person but the idea is that deep feelings of gratitude is very unique.
We’ve all felt it before. Trying to really get to that feeling place is not that easy to do “on demand” if you are not attuned to it.
One powerful exercise goes like this:
- Think of something that you currently have in your life that you do not want to lose.
- Write down all the reasons WHY you want to keep it in your life
- As you do this you will be taken to a state of gratitude because you will recognise why these things are so valuable to you.
Why Affirmations?
We’ve all heard a lot about affirmations. Maybe you’ve heard so much about it that you have become closed off to the idea.
This is probably because you “tried it” before and it “did not work”. It is impossible for affirmations to fail.
When you do it properly it will serve its purpose. What is the purpose of affirmations?
The purpose of affirmations is to control and direct your mind to a specific idea. It removes yu from all the negative thoughts and ideas that tend to dominate our minds.
When you first start out, the 10 minutes you spend intensely focusing on your powerful gratitude affirmations will eliminate any negative thoughts and ideas from entering your mind.
As you do this more and more your mind will start adapting and you quite literally train your mind to look for and focus on what is good, what is positive and what is right.
It takes time though. It takes a lot of practice. Overcoming a lifetime of negative thinking will not be fixed by “trying” to do half hearted affirmation for a few days.
Affirmations are not a quick fix. It is part of a process and it’s all about making gradual improvements in your thinking.
Your mind always wants to go back to what is familiar – even when what is familiar is not good for you.
You need to turn the unfamiliar to the familiar and a really powerful way to do this is with affirmations.
Gratitude affirmations can be particularly powerful because gratitude is one of the most powerful emotions there are. It raises your vibration and quite literally opens the door for the law of attraction to work in your life.
Another powerful fact about gratitude is this: when you feel grateful, it is impossible to feel angry, sad, depressed or
