The list of things that I could have complained or worried about was long but I was still able to find gratitude that I had a son, a home, friends to take care of my horse, family to watch my son while I was in the hospital, and that I even had a horse to fall off of! This attitude helped me to heal so rapidly that I was back at yoga within two months and two weeks later I was back on my horse even though I was forty-five years old. We can always find something to be grateful for no matter what is happening.
Gratitude helps us take stock of what really matters and what brings us joy. When you find yourself not having what you want it helps to make a list of what you already have that you are grateful for. This helps you bring in more to be grateful for as well. Making a gratitude list daily is even better as it becomes a way of being instead of only when you feel in lack. The only constant thing in this universe is change. So, in the inevitable coming and going of things, experiences, and people in our lives gratitude helps us honor them more when they are with us and keeps them inside us after they are gone.
It is a sign of spiritual maturity when we can find gratitude for our challenges and those that have wounded us for in these challenges and offenses lie great opportunities and the seeds of gifts for us to share. Whatever we have to work hard at we become good at and we find deeper levels of strength, self-confidence, and self-trust which is very empowering.
There are many health benefits of gratitude as it also helps strengthen bonds, lowers blood pressure, helps you sleep peacefully, and fills your heart instead of emptying it among other things. It fosters growth and happiness which everyone could use more of...and yes it is still a great excuse to eat an awesome meal and spend time with those you love. Practice gratitude and help transform your life and our world. Wishing you a most gratitude-filled Thanksgiving!
