An Epidemic of Gratitude

AN EPIDEMIC OF GRATITUDE
an outbreak & rapid spreading of appreciation

It’s well documented both scientifically and spiritually that what we think about we bring about. Energy vibrates and resonates with like energy attracting more of it to itself.

If we’re down on our luck we might tend to feast on that famine, which causes us to stay trapped in that draining energy. And try as we’d like to think or chant positivity, sometimes we simply can’t seem to fire up the feel-good fighters. 

Likewise – and for anyone that’s ever kept a gratitude journal – being, acknowledging and verbalizing gratitude yields some pretty powerful returns.

Now, this is a ginormous endeavor so I’m going to need your help for this one. Here’s what I propose we do:

Take a moment right now and write down (in comments below) something you’re grateful for today. It doesn’t have to be earth-shattering. Big or small, let’s share it all.

The purpose is:

• to have a place to express your gratitude
• to realize through posting yours or reading others how very blessed we all are, and
• to leave these empowered emotions in an easily accessible place for others to feast on when they need a boost

Anytime you feel the urge to read or write in the gratitude journal, simply click on “Gratitude Journal” under “Brain Breakdown” (which is categories here at Brain Brew Blog) and leave your peace at the bottom of any “Gratitude Journal” post of your choosing.

If you know someone who would benefit from or simply enjoy reading or writing in a gratitude journal, feel free to pass the URL along to them, share it on your socials or re-blog it at your blog.

Let’s put our energy to good use and create an epidemic of gratitude.

THANK YOU !

I’m so grateful that you’re joining me.

I look forward to reading all the things you’re grateful for so leave it all in comments . . .

Today Is Your New Beginning

Welcome to 2014

It’s never too late to say happy NEW anything

Be Not Afraid … You Have a Big God

A very good reminder not to dwell on the problem . . . because when you’ve got God on your side, nothing is a problem.

The photo came through my newsfeed from the facebook page of scientist, visionary and author Gregg Braden.

Be Not Afraid, HE Stands Before You Always

Be Uniquely You

God made you to be “uniquely you” not someone else. Be sure to utilize that gift and stand out in the crowd as you were meant to . . .

“No one else can be a better you than you”

Happy Spring – Happy Daisies

I don’t know why I Love Them but I do. They’re such a simple little flower but they have great big power … well at least on me they do.

They make me smile.

They make me wanna roll around in a field of grass and soak up the earth.

They make me wanna laugh and skip and sing.

They just make me happy !
and I could use some extra happy right now ~ I’ve had a rough month

So I’m going to ring in the Spring of 2012 by surrounding myself with daisies and happiness. I think I’ll go buy myself a bouquet tomorrow. But for today I’m going to simply think of Happy Daisies and put a smile on my face, a two-step in my gait and a tickle in my heart.

Hope you have a wonderful spring, a wonderful day and a wonderful life !

And won’t you take a moment and share with me what makes you happy?

HAPPY DAY ~ HAPPY DAISIES

HAPPY SPRING !

In fact, I have an idea ~ let’s celebrate spring and happiness together !

Let’s take a week and do something special for ourselves every day. It doesn’t have to be anything huge or expensive, just something to remind yourself that you matter.

And let’s meet back here and share what you did and how it made you feel.

Pep Talk

It happens – even to the best of us. I mean, we’re human after all.

We do our daily best to keep our heart and soul on our goal. We can see it, we can feel it, we’re experiencing it in our mind’s eye and then …

Something happens to cause us to worry, wonder, second guess. You know … obstacles … life’s little interruptions and irritations.

Oh I just hate when they sneak in at my moment of weakness. But then it’s at those moments that I’m delighted to remind myself of such things as :

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.” ~ Henry Ford ~

Ahhhh, pep talks, whether they’re athletic, professional or spiritual, we know why we like them … they work !

Where Does It Hurt

“How well am I able to meet people in their time of difficulty”

That was the Mentation Question posted today at the wonderful site of my dear friend Dr. Loretta Standley. As soon as I read it a tingle went across my body, a thought raced across my mind and a song played in my head.

~ ~ ~

Close your eyes, breathe gently and think about that Mentation Question for a moment.

~ ~ ~

So often when we hear of another’s moment of difficulty we lend judgment rather than support. I often wondered why. Is it that hearing of another’s moment of pain and struggle brings to the surface our own difficulties we’re trying to get through and perhaps have buried unresolved? Why is it when someone shares a misfortune in their life or thrashes out with a comment during a moment of pain, we respond subjectively rather than objectively?

~ ~ ~

There’s a lot to ponder in that question so let me post it here again . . .

“How well am I able to meet people in their time of difficulty”.

~ ~ ~

As soon as “I” read Dr. Standley’s Mentation Question for today what came to my mind was a very powerful song. I remember the first time I heard it my skin tingled, I stopped dead in my tracks and just said “Wow” !

To me, someone else’s difficulty isn’t about Me – it’s about Them. So the next time someone, anyone, shares their moment of difficulty with you, thrashes out with a verbal assault while in pain, stop for a moment and ask yourself, “How well am I able to meet this person in their time of difficulty.” And instead of making the moment about YOU and becoming a critical know-it-all, ask yourself “Can I make it better?” And then . . . 

“of the million things that ran through my mind, only one I could say …”

Listen here – and try saying this next time – quite powerful!
