Gratitude is the doorway to acceptance.
The feeling of gratitude for some people can feel very elusive because it is a complex emotion. It involves both thinking and feeling. When you engage with it through thought, it increases to a feeling. You then arrive at the doorway of acceptance and hidden joy.
Want to increase your decision making and your ability to learn? Have gratitude!

Sure gratitude can be achieved by action. For you to feel its true meaning try creating an actionable practice.
How to find gratitude through practice:
1. Meditation - End your meditation by giving thanks for all things in your life (even the perceived bad things). Embrace that all things in life are for learning and growth. This concept furthers the energy release.
2. Journaling - Give yourself time to express yourself through written words. When we form sentences, we search inside of ourselves to find the right words for expression. Simply by writing out your thoughts you are creating an opening for energy to flow.
3. Voice your gratitude. If you think it, say it. The more you do it the more you will start to feel it. The vibration of your own voice with the energy of the words will change the structure of your cells! That’s some reinforcement!
“It is not the joy that makes you grateful, it is gratitude that makes us joyful.”
