Focusing on all of the positive things by practicing gratitude in your life is one of the most amazing and transformative practices. The idea is that everything is a gift, the "good," the "bad," and everything in between. Here is the rationale behind this statement: when something happy happens to you it allows you the opportunity to grow and expand into more of your naturally loving state. This takes the form of celebration, joy, fun, playfulness, sharing, giving, and experiencing new levels of connectedness to others and life around you. When you go through challenging times, obstacles, and bumps in the road, these experiences cause you to reflect on your process, to observe your reactions, patterns, and belief systems that may be contributing to suffering. The suffering that occurs during challenging times serves to dissolve the ego, the false self, and connect you to more of your authentic and true self. In this way, EVERYTHING that you experience, EVERYTHING that happens in life--the "good," the "bad," and everything in between-- is grace! EVERYTHING is a blessing. Count your blessings and watch as the fear and anxiety about life diminishes, and feel the freedom to jump more fully into the river of life.
Changing your life is not necessary....changing how you perceive life makes all the difference--and as you do, watch your life change miraculously from the inside out!
I am grateful for challenges, for obstacles, for new adventures and new opportunities to be resourceful, to use my mind to solve puzzles, to practice staying present, to practice deep belly breathing. I am grateful for every opportunity to face the tests that the universe presents, to stay connected to a state of peace, to stay connected to a state of grace and allowance, to stay connected to my truth. I am grateful to know how I desire to live my life, how I choose to perceive life in the highest loving way. I am grateful to be sinking in and synching up with the highest loving way of living for this life.

I am grateful for the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, for spiritual counseling, and for all that i have learned by going inward, by meditating, by spending time with myself. I am grateful for delicious and nourishing food, for listening to my body and learning to feed myself from love and respect for this vessel. I am grateful to smile and laugh, and to play in life. I am grateful to see the bigger picture to this human experience--that we are angels having a human experience. I am so happy to live in this state of remembrance, that we have come here to experience unconditional love in the material world, to bring more love, joy, and peace down into this world. We are here to play, to create, to celebrate, to grow, and to learn. We are here to be, to reconnect, to resonate, to sing, to dance, to bounce around and to root down. We are here to birth, to live and to die. We are here to enjoy this whole experience. I am grateful for spirituality and counseling, for being a holistic counselor, helping others on their journey of growth and self development.
