Are you connected to your appreciation energy? Or are you taking things in your life and/or people in your life for granted?

Maybe when you first meet that new man or have that beautiful relationship or get that new job or receive that gift you alway wanted, you feel grateful. You appreciate what is happening and it makes you feel good. Joyful.

After time goes by, what happens? If you begin to expect certain things to happen or feel entitled to receive, your energy may begin to shift. From that of appreciation to that or expectation or entitlement.

This is the time when you start taking things and people for granted.

This is also the time when you start to feel less joy. Less love. Less happiness.

Sometimes it takes something really big to happen to realize how much someone or something means to you. Maybe a friend gets cancer and you realize how dear her friendship really is to you. Maybe you almost lose your partner during surgery and you realize how much you love having him in your life. Maybe the company you work for lets half the workers go when it downsizes and you feel grateful you still have your job. Maybe your dog becomes very ill and is away at the vet for a while and you realize how much you miss her.

Why do you need to come close to loss or tragedy in order to reconnect with your gratitude and appreciation energy?

The more in your life and in your relationship that you can start appreciating right now, the more joy you will feel. Why? Because instead of focusing on what you don’t want, you are focusing on what you do want. And what you focus on is also what you attract more of, so you will attract even more into your life for you to appreciate.

Even if you can only think of one thing to appreciate today, however large or small, begin there. See how your energy changes.

You always have the power to change your mindset

Do you ever wake up and have a thought that makes you feel a little down and before you know it, several hours later, you feel so sad and full of negativity?

I have.

This is because the thoughts you have, the ones you give time and energy to, attract other thoughts that are alike.

Whether you are vibrating at a low level or a high level, your vibration will attract like thoughts.

A fleeting thought may not make such a big difference, but the thought you have that you spend a few minutes on will attract another like thought, and so on…and momentum is built and before you know it you are in a very low place.

Can you shift out of it?  Yes definitely!  But once your thoughts build momentum and the negative thoughts are perpetuated, it is not so easy to shift.

The best way to change your vibration is when you wake up in the morning.  After sleeping, and not thinking, there is more of a reset.  You can start fresh in the morning with positive thoughts.  Being conscious of any thoughts that bring you down and not giving them time and energy.  Allowing yourself to shift to a better feeling though right away.

Maybe this sounds like hard work for you?  You’re not alone!  Many of us are programmed to focus on what is not working, what is missing, what doesn’t feel good.  Rather than what is good.

You have the opportunity to change this pattern and habit.  By consciously being aware when you wake up every day of the direction of your thoughts and spending your energy on the ones that feel good.

After doing this daily for a few months a new pattern will develop where you more easily look for and focus on the positive.

So when you wake up and think about what your partner did or said yesterday and how you handled it and start overthinking, catch yourself.  Stop right there!  Ask yourself…Does it serve you to overthink yesterday?  What is the direction this thought pattern is taking you?  Is there a positive thought you can shift to, one that feels good?

You deserve to feel good.  You deserve to feel joy.  And when you have thoughts that are constantly making you feel otherwise, remember that you have the power to change them.  You have the power to feel joy and happiness in your life.
