Day 3 Affirmation: The Power Of Expressing Gratitude Each Day

Reflecting on Responsibility

First of all, did you do yesterday’s assignment which was to take responsibility for one aspect, or blame subject, in your life?

What I have personally found in my life is that the more honest I am with myself and the more ownership I take for everything in my life, the more empowered and capable I feel to both change things in my life AND to create the life I want to live.

You see, while you can’t control some things that happen to you in life, you CAN choose how you will respond to those things and how you will allow those things to impact our life. Taking responsibility for how you will respond and act puts you in control. Continuing the blame game doesn’t serve you today or your future.

The first step in assessing where you are and where you go from here is acceptance. Accept that everything that’s happened in your life to this point has happened for a reason. That reason is to get you to this very point in time where you need to make a choice. Are you going to continue down the same path that you’re on?

Do you have your desired level of abundance in the areas of time, energy, good relationships and money? Are you where you want to be at this point in your life? If not, now is the time for change. For things to change YOU must change. For you to change you must accept responsibility for everything in your life.

Then you need to consistently and routinely invest in yourself, in time and sometimes money, so that you develop the skills, mindset and behaviors to create the lifestyle of your dreams while also attracting those people, things and circumstances into your life that are intended to help you realize that life of success.

serenity prayerOne of the most important strategies and tools I use almost every day to keep things in proper perspective, decipher the things I need to accept (and let go of) from the things I need to change and what things take priority over others is repeating the Serenity Prayer:

When you use the Serenity Prayer in your daily life you will know those things that you need to work on at the right time.

I have found two ways to find out what you’re supposed to do when you apply the Serenity Prayer. Both methods require you to ask and listen.

1. Directly ask God (the Universe, your Higher Power, Etc.) then be still, be OPEN, be quiet and listen: Always approach with a heart of gratitude for all the blessings you have. Then ask your question to God. “God, is _____ the area of change you want me to focus on?”. I have found that God (Higher Power) provides an answer by one of these two ways:
  • Validation will come as a positive, sometimes energized feeling.
  • You will feel nothing or a sense of confusion. This means “no”. It could mean that you have to search more to present the correct question.
2. Seek out the answer and request validation from God (your Higher Power). Sometimes God wants us to do the work and figuring out the answer, the next step or the next area of change, etc. When you think you may have found that answer, then you bring your answer to God (your Higher Power). Then your answer will be as above:
  • Validation will come as a positive, sometimes energized feeling.
  • You will feel nothing or a sense of confusion. This means “no”. You need to do more searching, or, you’re supposed to let that issue go work on something else.
You will get an answer eventually. Just remember that your timing is not God’s timing and God has eternal patience. Many times God is just teaching us through our journey and helping to develop our character in preparation of receiving more success.

Day 3: Daily Gratitude Unlocks The Law Of Abundance

Your happiness and emotional well-being is directly linked to the amount of gratitude that you consciously present to and that you allow yourself to experience and feel.
You will find that the more you express gratitude for everything in your life, even the obstacles which create the opportunity for you to learn and grow, you will receive more and more blessings.
The greater spirit of gratitude you have will unlock the law of abundance in your life.
At any moment in your life you can refer to one of two pages. One page lists all the things you have to feel bad about, while the other page lists everything you have to feel good about and are grateful for.
The page that you choose to focus on will determine your internal quality of life, which directly impacts your external reality and quality of life. When you focus on the negative you will get more negativity in your life and you will attract negative people into your life.
When you focus on being grateful and sharing with others how good, great, excellent your life is, while allowing yourself to feel those feelings of authentic gratefulness, you will experience more health, joy and good energy in your life.
If you ever find yourself feeling down or negative, just start listing the things you’re grateful for. Then you and your day will turn to the positive.

Day 3 Assignment:

  1. Repeat today’s affirmation out loud as often as you can throughout the day.
  2. Journal any feelings and experiences you have today from this affirmation.
  3. Gratitude exercise: Write down 100 things you are grateful for. This is a great exercise. Write as many down as you can without assistance. If you get stuck, just do a Google search to get more ideas. You may want to use this exercise to start a gratitude journal. This is a binder or journal that you write you everything you are grateful for. Once you complete the 100 item list, just add to it each day. Whenever you’re feeling low just start reading from your gratitude journal to realize how blessed you are.
