I guess I was first introduced to it via The Secret back in 2006. Which talks about being thankful for what you have now & talking in a present tense about future desires you wish to manifest.

Getting the gratitude journal from Kikki K helped me to make it a practice.

The journal has 3 spaces for each day. Here you write down three things you are grateful for. I often use up more than the three spaces depending how inspired I am.

A great tip from Marie Forleo was to really build out your gratitudes – write very detailed & specific descriptions for each grateful. Especially if it is something you are looking to bring into being – manifest.

Practicing gratitude brings more things to be grateful for into your life.

It’s a favourite practice of many well known figures – Oprah, Tony Robbins, Lewis Howes, Danielle LaPorte, Marie Forleo to name a few.

💗 Start a gratitude ‘note’ in notes app on your phone. Write 3 things at a certain time each day or when you get a few minutes eg while waiting in line etc

💗 Get a notebook / gratitude journal like my new one. Another Kikki K gem.

💗 If you don’t want another notebook have a section in your current daily planner or journal.

💗 You can have reminders on your mirror, fridge or wall. ‘What are you grateful for today?’ Or even a scheduled reminder on your phone.

Take a hint from Life

Posted in Blog, Wellbeing Wednesday by Kelly Stevenson-Lal

I missed this post – I’m back dating.
Not back Dating! Im married, still dating the husband.

Back dating the post so it looks like I actually made the effort to post this on Wednesday. I didnt have anything scheduled to post.

My daughter was sick at the start of the week I was also feeling abit nauseous with stomach cramps. We had both eaten the same thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

So this week just went by we rested, we slept, we relaxed at home. We’ve been living on good buzz, inliven & vitamin c.

I wasn’t posting anywhere on social. I wasn’t doing much of anything in the real world either. Sometimes life just gives you a reminder that you need to slow down, rest, forget the world & retreat.

You realise what’s important & essential.

Have you had days or weeks like this where you just surrendered, let it be & rested? Let me know in the comments how that felt for you.

Much love
