  • GRATITITUDE: FAVOURITE BIBLE VERSES

    “GRATITUDE helps us see GOD. Gratitude opens our spiritual eyes. There’s a beautiful cycle in giving God thanks: the more we thank Him, the more we see Him working in us and around us. Gratitude helps us sense God’s presence, His personal care and His perfect timing.” We find this words from Lisa Appelo blog to be instructive.

    God moves with the level of your gratitude. Spiritual doors are open when you drench yourself in gratitude. There are so many benefits to staying grateful. As you move through the tides in a difficult situation, remember to be still and practice gratitude.

    Here are some of our favourite bible verses that puts us in the mood of GRATITUDE:

  • Simple Ways to Practice Gratitude

    Feeling grateful about my life is something I never feel ashamed of; in my opinion, every moment should be cherished. But sometimes I tend to focus on the negative and forget ways to be grateful, even when it feels like things are just not going my way.

    You might not be able to control every aspect of your life, but you can control your outlook on it. And what’s a better way to live than with gratitude and positivity?

    As soon as you wake up, resist the urge to reach for your phone and check your emails or messages. Make the first thing you do that day be an act of gratitude. If we want to express love and gratitude for others, we have to have it for ourselves first.

    Practising gratitude is something you can do easily. For example, you can start making “please” and “thank you” phrases that you use often when asking and getting help from others. You can also spend a few minutes at the end of the day writing down five things you feel most grateful for from that day.

    Some days you will write without feeling a shred of gratitude. That’s OK. Just do it anyway. And when you can summon up the feeling of gratitude in your heart, let it pass through every cell in your body. Embody it. Place your hands on your heart. Raise your head, lift your self up.

    Move into the feeling. Dance it. Sing it. Aspire to a fullness of heart, no matter what is going on around you.

  • 10 Things Grateful People Don’t Do

    True happiness and inner contentment happens when your heart is grateful for everything your life experiences – the good, the bad, the hard, the easy, the defeats and the victories. To achieve this level of gratitude, there are some things you should endeavour to remove from your life.

    Stay away from these acts that grateful people avoid and watch your life turn around for the better.

    1. They don’t compare themselves to others.
    2. They don’t need to “feel” happy in order to be happy.
    3. They don’t compare their journey to anyone else’s.
    4. They don’t run from their imperfections.
    5. They don’t allow time to control them.
    6. They don’t forget the importance of relationships.
    7. They don’t overlook the value in everyday people.
    8. They don’t expect to get something in return.
    9. They don’t take life for granted.
    10. They don’t neglect themselves

    Happy Sunday everyone! I wish you a fab week ahead.
