My life is a miracle.
I came across this excercise today and I figured that I would share. If there is nothing else that I have learned that you should take with you, it is the fact that through appreciating what you already have, you will attract even more things to appreciate.
Let’s go on a rampage of appreciation shall we!
My Favorite Things:
My favorite thing about my sons is the fact that they take great care of each other.
My favorite thing about my friends is the fact that they allow me to be ME and never discourage me from living my life the way I want to live it.
My favorite thing about my work is I get to work from home, doing what I love to do at my own pace and convenience.
My favorite thing about my relationship status is I meet men all the time and they are all being so sweet to me. I can pick and choose what qualities I like best and then the very next man I meet has those qualities and MORE! Wow!
My favorite thing about my living situation is I have no bills to pay (yet) and the refrigerator is always full of food. I don’t have to cook or clean (much) and there’s always someone to talk to.
My favorite thing about my spiritual journey is I am free to evolve into whatever God wants me to. I’m not bound by anyone’s rules or expectations. I celebrate my life and love for God daily. What a relief!
My favorite thing about my body is the fact that I am the same size I was before I had my children. It took me a few years but I’m back to 130 lbs and I love it everyday!
My favorite thing about my sister is the fact that she is so happy and content in her life. Everytime she receives a blessing I feel like it’s ME and her life is better than it has ever been.
Now ask yourself how each of your favorite things can be improved.
Wouldn’t it be nice if… my sons and I had a wonderful home of our own. I’d be willing to take turns sharing them with their father because he is teaching them so much about being disciplined young men which is the perfect complement to my teaching them how to love and dream fearlessly.
Wouldn’t it be nice if…my friends and I were able to see each other more often. We’d enjoy weekend trips to visit each other and allow our kids to get to know each other better. Every chance we’d get, we’d be able to hug, laugh and share in each other’s happiness.
Wouldn’t it be nice if…my work became more financially lucrative. Instead of $100-$350 a story, I’d be earning a beautiful salary doing just what I loved to do, write and create feature programs for a website or a print magazine.
Wouldn’t it be nice if…my relationships status suddenly changed and one of the wonderful men I met was everything I ever wanted in a man. I’d stop running from relationships and embrace it wholeheartedly in an effort to make up for the mistakes that I made in my past relationships. The next man that I decide to like (and he likes me back-LOL!) is going to be so lucky. I am going to be soooo good to him.
Wouldn’t it be nice if…my living situation got even better. I’d love to find a home in Miami Shores that is reasonably priced, spacious and even better than all of the homes I had previously lived in.
Wouldn’t it be nice if…my spiritual journey deepened and flourished. As I am learning how to focus on the things that I want and watch as they appear, it would be great to be able to just wave my hand like a magician and connect to God without worrying or wondering about anything.
Wouldn’t it be nice if…my body was more toned and all my stretch marks dissappeared.
Wouldn’t it be nice if…all of my sister’s dreams came true. She’d be running her own business and loving her life everyday!
Ahhhhh….
Isn’t it way more fun to focus on what you appreciate and what you want to happen than it is to focus on what you lack and what you don’t want to happen? My goodness, this habit has seriously improved the quality of my life. I hope it does the same for you.
You get everything you ask for.
Q: What are you asking for?
A: Whatever you are focused on.
I’m focused on happiness and abundance. How about you?
