Gratitude Affirmations

Gratitude is a super helpful tool to overcome our brain's negativity bias (which focuses and dwells on what's wrong instead of the many great things).

And, positive affirmations help us shape compassionate self-talk. So, both of these together are powerful in helping us build a positive mindset.

Here are some gratitude affirmations:

1. I am grateful for many things in my life that bring me joy and comfort.
2. I trust that what's meant for me is already mine, regardless of how and when it is mine.
3. I am worthy of beautiful endings and exciting beginnings.
4. I allow my voice to be heard, my thoughts to be expressed and my vision to be seen.
5. I am open to things working out for me.
6. I am open to receiving abundance.
7. I am open to connecting with my highest self.
8. I am eternally grateful for all of the blessings I have in my life.
9. I am happy and grateful for everything I have and receive daily.
10. I constantly remind myself to enjoy all the good I have in my life right now.

Julia's Story - The Gratitude Trees

This week, I want to share Julia's story with you about how she beautifully made a fond relationship of gratitude with the trees on her way to the office.

"While I love my work passionately, I have found that the overwhelm and stress of the piled-on work can make me anxious and stressed. This in turn makes it harder to focus on the moment and do the best I can do.

On the path from the office to the main barn, there are 2 Douglas Fir trees that stand about 6 feet apart, tall and welcoming, which curve at the top toward each other like two dear friends in cherished conversation.

I have made a habit of walking between these trees rather than around them..."

“I enjoyed making a little wish each time I passed between the trees and took a huge breath of relief each time I passed the other way and expressed gratitude. The habit has never gone away.”
