How Gratitude Will Set Free Limiting Beliefs

What is gratitude? How does an attitude of gratitude change one's limiting beliefs?

Gratitude changes your perspective. Gratitude makes you look the present moment square in the face and become conscious of all the good things you have in life.

Try This

Take a few minutes a day to jot down a minimum of five things you are grateful for. Can't think of anything? Here are a few questions to ask:

Do you have food to eat? Do you have a roof over your head?
A comfortable and warm bed to sleep in?
Are there clean clothes in the closet or dresser?
Is the sun shining?
Are the chickens clucking in the yard?

Perhaps the last one doesn't apply. However, the first five will get you started. There's nothing too small for gratitude. The purr of a cat or devotion in your dog's eyes can evoke feelings of gratefulness. Animals seem to bring out the best of us.

With practice, creating a gratitude list will become easy. And before you know it, you'll have a long list of many things to appreciate. The more you recognize all the good things in life to be grateful about, the more your perspective shifts. When your perspective shifts your limiting beliefs start to loosen their tight grip. Possibilities that you weren't able to see start to make their presence known.

Start a gratitude journal. The best time to make entries is first thing in the morning and at bedtime. Keep in mind that it can take twenty-one to thirty days to make something a habit.

Limiting beliefs don't stand a chance when you develop attitude of gratitude muscles.
