Good day friends,

According to Phillippa Lally, Ph.D., a senior researcher at University College London it takes about 66 days to get into a routine or form a new habit.

This is not a 28 day challenge, it’s to help you and me form a habit of being grateful, and after 28 days, we do not stop. We continue. It does not take that long to do, and you can do your activities throughout the day. I would recommend you make yourself a gratitude journal to do the activities in. You can do it either in a book, on your phone or, on your computer. I made myself a book; I like to write things down in my own handwriting.

Day 13: Make all your wishes come true.

Hundreds of native cultures have given thanks for what they want before they receive it. They create ceremonies to as much energy as they can into giving thanks.

Gratitude is something you must have before you can receive. Most of us are only grateful after we received something. 

All of us have made lists of things we want, places we want to visit, and goals for our future. If you have not made your list sit down and make it. Break it up into different categories if you like to be specific like me. Health and Body, Career and Work, Money, Relationships, Your Personel desires, and Material things. Then start adding to each category. 

My Wishlist is spread over a few pages in my Gratitude Journal, I have even left a few pages open for future whishes.

Today’s activity is all about making your wishes come true. 

Step 1: Create a separate list with your top ten wishes or desires as if you have already received them. Write it down in the following way.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for __________, and fill in the desire in the blank space as if you have already received it.

Always say Thank you three times. It is a magical formula because it is the mathematical number of all new creations in the Universe. 

Step 2: Later during the day, take your list and, by using your imagination mentally answer the following questions as though you’ve received your desire/wish.

1. What emotions did you feel when you received your desire/wish?
2. Who was the first person you told when you received your desire/wish, and how did you tell them?
3. What is the first thing you did when you received your desire/wish? Include as much detail as you can in your mind.

Step 3: The final step for today’s activity. Reread each desire/wish, and really emphasize the magic words, thank you, so that you feel as much as you can.

Do this for all the desires/wishes on your list. Spend at least 1 minute on each desire/wish.

My daily gratitude routine.

1. When you wake up to to a new day, before doing a single thing say, Thank You.
2. From the moment you put your feet on the ground until you finished your morning routine, say the magic words, Thank You, in your mind for everything you touch and use.
3. Count your blessings: Make a list of 10 blessings. Write why you’re grateful for each blessing. Reread your list and say “Thank you, thank you, thank you” Feeling gratitude for each blessing.
4. Identify 2 relationships and write 5 things you are grateful for in the person. It can be a family member, a friend, a colleague even a pet. During the day say “Thank you, name.”
5. Say thank your for your different body parts, organs and your senses. Be grateful for each of them.
6. Four times a day read the words on the card slowly and be grateful for your health. (THE GIFT OF HEALTH IS KEEPING ME ALIVE.)
7. Four times or more a day look at your Magic Bill and be grateful for the abundance of money you have been given in your life. (THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MONEY I’VE BEEN GIVEN THROUGHOUT MY LIFE.)
8. While at work, look for things to be grateful for. Say to yourself. ‘I am so grateful for ……….’
9. Try to go through the day without saying or thinking anything negative. If you think negative thoughts stop immediately and say but I am really grateful for…..
10. Say, Thank you and be grateful every time you eat of drink something.
11. When someone perform a service that benefits you, look them in the face and say, Thank you.
12. Before going to bed, take your magic rock/gratitude rock in your hand and think about all the things to be grateful for that happened the day and say, Thank you.

With all my heart, thank you for your continued support.

Have a Blessed day.
