Have you used one to say "thank you?" 

~William A. Ward

Full of Thanks
Do you notice how many times a day you say negative messages to yourself?  Any of these sound familiar:

• life is just so hard
• will it ever get better
• how much more can I take
• I am just so stressed
• why doesn't anyone understand
• I'm always broke
• why doesn't anyone listen

Well if these kind of messages run through your head every day then guess what - this is what you will be constantly creating for yourself.  It's as simple as that.  You are not creating the space for abundance to come in when you are constantly filling it with the messages above.

What do you do?  Change it.  When you wake up in the morning, before you grab your phone or even open your eyes fully, list at least 2 to 3 things your heart feels full of thanks for.  Maybe it's the warm bed itself, the person sleeping next to you, the sound of the baby monitor, the phone call you received that made you smile, the co-worker that brightened your day, the meaningful conversation you had, the dollar you found on the street or snuggling with your puppy.  Before you go to bed at night, do the same thing.  Being thankful is a practice, just like brushing your teeth.  If you don't do it, you end up stinking!  So start practicing having a heart full of thanks and see what that does to improve your life.
