While doing psychic readings recently, two themes keep showing up \u2013 Gratitude and Joy. At first glance, you may wonder how these are related. Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve come up with.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with Gratitude. I believe that no matter what the situation, there will always, always be something to be grateful for. I\u2019m sure many of my readers are saying \u2013 no way! There is no way I can be grateful for the situation I\u2019m in \u2013 or the pain I\u2019m having \u2013 or many other things that seem dreadful or even unbearable. I understand and have had those thoughts myself. But I have learned that looking for and identifying what there is to be grateful for in every situation can make that situation less dreadful and less unbearable.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how I started. Every day for a period of time, I would think of one thing that I was grateful for. Just one thing each day. Then over time I expanded that to make a list of several things each day. Then on to as many as I could identify every day. By doing this, I learned to look for gratitude wherever I am and whatever is happening to me, until it has become automatic to look for blessings.<\/p>\n

By starting small, you have an opportunity to practice observing the world with gratitude. Soon you will find yourself looking at the world around you and your own experiences in a different way \u2013 challenging yourself to find gratitude where previously you would not have expected to find it.<\/p>\n
