Giving gratitude is not about a feeling, but an ability. It is an actionable skill that needs daily practice. This 5 day challenge encourages you feel gratitude within and through your day as well as to take a few minutes to free-write (either before or after practice) in your journal wha, why and sensations you feel when you call in this unlevelled energy.

Here are a few other practices you can choose to do throughout the day:

RE-WIRE ANY CONSCIOUS NEGATIVE THOUGHT. EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU WITNESS A FEAR-BASED THOUGHT, CHOOSE TO REFRAME IT. FOR INSTANCE: “URGH, I DON’T WANT TO WASH BATHROOMS TODAY” ~ “WASHING THE BATHROOMS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO LISTEN TO THAT PODCAST”. IT’S NOT ABOUT MAKING THE STATEMENT POSITIVE… THE PURPOSE IS TO WITNESS THOUGHTS FOR YOU TO BEGIN TO SEE THAT WITHIN THE MOMENT YOU HOLD AN INNER POWER TO CHOOSE TO CONTINUE THAT LOW FREQUENCY THOUGHT CURRENCY OR UPLEVEL.

SET YOUR PHONE ALARM TO CHIME EVERY FEW HOURS TO PRACTICE GRATITUDE MINDFULNESS. GRATITUDE IS A SKILL AND WE NEED TO TRAIN OURSELVES FOR THE SKILL TO BECOME SECONDARY. WHEN THE ALARM CHIMES, STOP AND CLOSE YOUR EYES. BEGIN TO FEEL SOMETHING WITHIN YOUR IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR. NOTICE THE SENSATIONS AND PRESENCE THAT OCCURS.

EXPRESS YOUR APPRECIATION. EVERY DAY CHOOSE TO TELL A FRIEND, SIBLING, PARENT OR CO-WORKER INTENTIONALLY WHY YOU APPRECIATE THEM WHETHER IT BE SHARED VERBALLY OR WRITTEN FORM. NOT ONLY WILL THIS FLUSH FEEL GOOD CHEMICALS THROUGH YOU, BUT ALSO THROUGH THEM.

BE IN SERVICE. WHEN YOU ARE IN SERVICE TO OTHERS AND IN A STATE OF GIVING, YOU BUILD SELF-AWARENESS, APPRECIATION AND FEEL MORE ABUNDANT IN YOUR CURRENT EXPERIENCES.

TAKE 3 DEEP BREATHS. REMINDING YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO SIMPLY STOP AND BREATHE, EXPLORING WHERE GRATITUDE LIVES WITHIN YOU. WHEN YOU EMBODY GRATITUDE, ASK YOURSELF WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE? WHEN YOU DETACH FROM THINKING AND FOCUS ON FEELING, SPACE IS CREATED INTERNALLY FOR YOU TO CLAIM PRESENT MOMENT AWARENESS.
