Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!  🦃🍁🍽 

Wherever you are in your life, reflecting on what you can appreciate is your key 🔑 to a happy and fulfilled life.  

While we don’t need a day to remind us to be thankful, we can still use this opportunity to reflect on what we are grateful for, in our lives and in our relationships.  

Tony Robbins says “trade your expectation for appreciation and see your entire world change.”  

When we focus on what we have that is good, we experience the positive emotions associated with those things.  The more we do this on a regular basis, the more of our time we spend feeling good.  And the more we are in this high vibration, the more we attract high vibration experiences into our lives.

However, when we focus on our expectations, and what is not being met, we feel emotions such as anger, resentment, hurt, anxiety.  We don’t feel good.  We don’t feel fulfilled.  We don’t feel we are living our best life.  And we attract more low vibration experiences from this space.

I love this saying by Tony Robbins because we are reminded that by shifting our focus from an unmet expectation to something we appreciate, we can reclaim our power to feel good in an instant.  

Focusing on expectations that are not being met will always lead to unhappiness because we fuel the belief that life is not measuring up to our standards.  This means we are looking outside ourselves, to our circumstances, for our happiness…we are leaving it up to others.  

Reclaim your power to be happy and thankful!  Try it now!  Think of something, no matter how big or small, no matter if in the past or the present, that you appreciate.  Focus on it, see it as if it’s happening right now, allow the positive feelings associated with it to flood your body and soul.  Feel how empowering it is to be able to change your state by shifting your focus to something you appreciate.  

I would love to hear what you appreciate, share in the comments!  ❤️

I am immensely appreciative for the beautiful relationships I have in my life…with my partner, my children, my friends, my partners family.  Thinking about how much each of these people mean to me brings me tears of joy.
