28 Weeks of practicing Gratitude….

“Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty.” ~ Christian Science Hymnal

“If there’s a lack of money in your life, understand that feeling worried, envious, jealous, disappointed, discouraged, doubtful, or fearful about money can never bring more money to you, because those feelings from lack of gratitude for money you have.

Complaining about money, arguing about money, getting frustrated about money, being critical of the cost of something, or making someone else feel bad about money are not acts of gratitude, and the money in your life can never improve; it will worsen.

No matter what your current situation, the very thought that you don’t have enough money is being ungrateful for the money you have. You have to get your current situation out of your mind and instead feel grateful for the money you do have, so the money in your life can magically increase!”

The Magic by Rhonda Byrne

I don’t know about you, but I find it difficult when I walk into the supermarket and see how the prices of everything have increased and my income decreased. I now realize after reading this chapter for the second time I do have to change my mindset. I am grateful for all the money I receive, and that I am able pay my bills at the end of the month. But I make this gratitude undone by, stressing over next months bills that needs to be paid. From now on I am going to try something different when I go to the supermarket. Instead of complain about the prices of the food, I am rather going to be grateful that I have money to buy what we need.

This weeks activity is all about Money. I must say I never thought about all the money I have received since I was a baby…. Okay I am not talking about money I received that reflected in my bank account or in my piggy bank. I am talking about food, drinks, a home, pets, gifts, electricity, water, sport, hobbies, doctors appointments, education, toiletries, clothes the list goes on and on.

For this weeks activity go sit down and think about everything big or small where money was paid for you, say and feel the magic words, thank you, with all your heart for each instance.

Take a 1 Dollar Bill or what ever currency you have ( I took a R20 bill) and stick a note on the bill and write in bold letters.

“THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MONEY I’VE BEEN GIVEN THROUGHOUT MY LIFE!“

Take the bill with you today. Take it in your hand and read the note and be truly grateful for the abundance of money you’ve been given.

After today, put your Magic Bill somewhere you will see it every day to remind you to continue to be grateful for the abundance of money you have been given in your life.
