GRA-ART-TI-TUDE REJOINDER
Yesterday we started a series on
GRA-ART-TI-TUDE and I remember saying that achieving the attitude of gratitude was not an INSTANT thing.
Think of it, how can you ask a man to be "thankful" for hell that seems to be letting loose around him??
That would seem like the height insensitivity!
But Oh Yes, he can be grateful still;
If only that man can see that "Hell" as a class for professionals on "heat management"! Lol
Funny illustration but the point is GRATITUDE is basically as a result of your perception.
Once you change your Perception of life, trust me giving gratitude is easy!
It just takes practice and consistency and soon you will become a MASTER OF GRATITUDE!
Never forget that gratitude is an "Art"!
It solely in your hands to choose what designs, colours and styles you want for yours.
Plain or Beautiful Art? It's all up to you!
Gratitude is a SERIES OF THOUGHT PATTERNS.
It is VERY INTENTIONAL and has to be PRACTICAL.....
At this point if your not ready to have your attitude altered by practicalizing what you are about to learn PLEASE PUT THE BREAKS ON HERE!
But if you are ready for some INTENTIONAL CHANGE then please come with me as I SHOW YOU A FEW TRICKS that I'm personally working with.
First, you must be dedicated to spending ATLEAST 15Minutes to practice at least one of the Trick, GAME STYLE.
Be sure it won't be boring at all.....
1. KEEP A GRATITUDE DIARY
- Buy a little note or Diary, alongside a Pen.
- Write dates on each of your entries in the Diary.
- Every day make sure to dedicate any 15mins of your time to make an entry.
You can actually go beyond 5.
- You have write in specifics e.g I'm thankful that I had a tasty Lunch today etc.
2. THE GRATITUDE GAME
This is actually a game and you can choose to play this game with a partner or on your own.
It shouldn't take more than 10minutes of your time.
First take a breath.....
- Name 3people you are thankful for
- Name 3places you are thankful for
- Name a food you are thankful for
- Name 3things you are thankful for
- Name moments in your life you are thankful
- Name 3experiences you are thankful for
You can exceed 3, to as many as you can remember.
3. THE GRATITUDE POST/NOTES
- Choose a day of the week or month where you can send gratitude messages to everyone who did something special.
- If you really want to play GRATITUDE at professional level, include even those who weren't kind to you because if you look back they added to your experience.
- State specifically what you are thanking them for, For example I'm Personally thanking my friend and colleague Jane, for always making work fun.
- You could also do an Facebook post to that effect and tag these amazing people in your world.
Let your words convey GRATITUDE!
4. PICTURES
Yeah you heard right!
Take your time to go back and look at throw back pictures either in an Album, on your Device or on your Social Media pages.
You will definitely find something to smile about!
Whew!
I can already feel the excitement from you all who want to TURN UP things a Notch!
This certainly isn't all but for the sake of assimilation, I'll have to stop here!
Trust me, I'm bursting with energy already at your sure testimonies for those who are already practising!
And that my friends, is all the Joy I want to be rewarded with...
Love,
Your Fragile Giant!
