11/12/2024

Hello friend! Today, we are unlocking the power of GRATITUDE Affirmations. At Awake Your Way, our goal is to help each other grow and become the best version of ourselves, and gratitude is one of the most powerful tools we have on this journey.

in this article, we'll explore the Power of Gratitude, and its ability to transform our minds and our lives.

The Transformative Power of Gratitude

Gratitude might seem like a trivial thing, but in reality, the practice of gratitude can completely change how we experience life.

By practicing gratitude daily, we begin to see the world through a positive lens, which brings us peace and contentment. Even the smallest things that usually go unnoticed become reasons to smile, and gratitude gives us the strength to get through tough times. Let’s dive into why gratitude is such a powerhouse and how incorporating it as part of your morning routine can change your mindset and transform your life.

Gratitude offers real, profound benefits. It helps us appreciate not just the big things in life, but the little things too. Gratitude helps us notice things that often slip under our radar. Practicing gratitude helps us bring those precious gifts into our consciousness, and into our lives.

Did you know that gratitude literally rewires your brain? According to the Law of Attraction, focusing on what we’re grateful for expands our focal point, and actually brings more abundance into our lives. It’s like tuning in to the right radio station—the moment we match our mindset with gratitude, we begin receiving more opportunities, more love, more joy, more success, and more abundance.

Think of it this way: If our minds are magnets, gratitude is the amplifier of our magnetic powers. The more we practice it, the more we attract into your life. And let’s be real—who wouldn’t want more of the good stuff?

How Gratitude Helps Manifest Abundance

Here’s where things get extra interesting. Gratitude is often the first step in most manifestation practices. Why? Because it shifts our focus away from LACK to ABUNDANCE. It directs our minds to shift from what’s missing and directs it toward what we already have. And when we focus on what we have, we begin to align ourselves with abundance in all its forms.

Let's say we want to manifest financial prosperity. Well, we simply cannot do that by focusing on the lack of money, because that mindset will only attract more “lack” into our lives. Instead, practicing gratitude for the financial blessings we already have—no matter how small—allows us to open a huge door for even more abundance to flow in.

Gratitude - The Magical Door to Abundance

Let's use financial abundance as an example. Let's say that you have a certain amount of money in your bank account. That sum you have perfectly reflects the vibrational door you have opened to abundance, so far.

You see abundance, in all of its forms, wants to come in, and in great amounts. But when the door we built for it is too small, it simply can't enter. Try to image a block of pure gold, trying to squeeze itself through the eye of a needle, and you will get the picture.

If we want to experience true abundance, we must build a bigger door, big enough for abundance to easily come through.

Remember, the bigger the door, the more we are able to receive through it.

Gratitude is a bit like telling the universe, "Yes, I’m truly ready for more NOW!" And the universe always listens. When we’re in this state of appreciation, we align ourselves with the flow of abundance, in all of its forms.

Using Affirmations to Strengthen Gratitude

Affirmations are one of the best ways to reinforce these feelings of gratitude. Wondering what exactly affirmations are? They’re short, powerful statements that help shift our mindsets, from lack to abundance. When used consistently, they reprogram our subconscious minds, helping us adopt new beliefs and habits that serve us and our goals.

For example, “I am very thankful for the love and support that is present in my life” is a powerful affirmation that can shift a mindset of loneliness into one of connection. Repeating such affirmations regularly helps our minds begin to believe them, even if they don’t feel true at first. Over time, the mind, which loves to be proven right, starts to search for ways to make these powerful words true, and our reality starts to shift and reflect these positive beliefs back to us.

Morning Gratitude Affirmations

Before we begin, here are some helpful instructions:

Make sure you are sitting comfortably, and take two deep breaths. Inhaling deeply and calmly, and exhaling slowly. Repeat Twice. Then, place your hands on your heart and state these affirmations out loud, with feeling and conviction. To make it even more powerful, try to attach emotions to these words.

Thank you for this beautiful new day and the opportunities it holds.
I am grateful for the chance to start fresh each and every morning.
Thank you for all that I have, which allows me to thrive.
I am thankful for the love and support that I get from those around me.
I am very grateful for the love and support I constantly receive from the universe.
I am very grateful for the guidance, which directs me to my best life.
I appreciate the lessons I’m learning on my journey, that allow me to expand and open new doors.
I am very grateful for my ability to open new doors and receive more blessings through them.
Thank you for the strength and resilience within me that helps me overcome challenges.
I am so grateful for the beauty in nature and for the simple pleasures of life.
I am so grateful for every moment I am able to stop and enjoy those simple pleasures.
I am very thankful for the present, and for every moment I am able to be present.
Thank you for guiding me toward peace and clarity.
I am grateful for every opportunity that flows into my life with ease.
Thank you for every moment of connection, kindness, and love that I encounter today.
I am very grateful for the abundance of time, energy, and resources, that are available to me.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to experience them, in increasing amounts.
Thank you for helping me see the beauty that is present all around me.
I am very thankful for every moment of peace and clarity that I get to experience.
Thank you for reminding me that, right now, all is well in my life.

Now, take two long and deep breaths, and smile.

Isn’t that powerful? The more often we repeat Gratitude Affirmations like these, the more we start seeing their impact on our daily lives. They don’t just stay words—with time and constant practice, these powerful statements TRANSFORM, and BECOME feelings, actions, and eventually, our reality.

Visualizing Our Day with Gratitude

As we wrap up our gratitude affirmations session, let's take a moment to visualize the rest of our day. Picture yourself moving through your daily with gratitude, kindness, and compassion. Hold that clear vision of peace and positivity in your mind. If doubt or negativity starts to creep in during the day, gently remind yourself of three things you're grateful for. By redirecting our thoughts toward gratitude, we strengthen our mental and emotional resilience and create a powerful habit.

Remember, gratitude greatly amplifies our magnetic abilities—the more we practice it, the more we receive. Essentially, Gratitude is a gift we give ourselves, one that opens new doors for us, and welcomes joy, success, and abundance, as they enter.

A Practice That Feeds on Itself

As we practice gratitude, we must remember that it is not just a one-time activity; it’s a habit that, once cultivated, grows and expands on its own. The more we practice shifting our minds from lack to gratitude, the easier it gets, and the more we begin to notice your life shifting in gentle yet profound ways. When gratitude becomes automatic, we notice a transformation in all areas of our lives—our relationships, our careers, as well as the level of our happiness—everything starts blooming.

So, as we go about our day, let's keep that idea in mind. When things get tough, when we feel frustrated or stuck, a moment of gratitude can act as a powerful reset. Pausing and reminding ourselves of three things we are thankful for, is a powerful practice that will soon transform our lives. You’ll be amazed to see how quickly your energy can shift.

Conclusion

Gratitude is a powerful tool. It’s our secret superpower, which allows us to attract everything we desire into our lives. By making gratitude affirmations a part of our daily routine, we are strengthening our minds and opening new doors to all the gifts the universe has to provide.

And when those doors are open, the universe always provides!
