Counting your blessings:

1. If you had a reason to smile today, you are blessed.
2. If you made someone else smile today, you are blessed.
3. If you have people and pets in your life to love, you are blessed.
4. If you are loved by people and pets, you are blessed.
5. If you met someone new today, you are blessed.
6. If you learned something new today, you are blessed.
7. If you were challenged today with something, you are blessed, for challenges are opportunities in disguise…
8. If something caused your mind to think in a new expanded way, you are blessed.
9. If you ate something that tasted good and nourished your body, you are blessed.
10. If you were able to get to where you needed to go today, you are blessed.

Your turn: In your journal, write down a list of all of the ways you are blessed. A nice touch is to add “thank you” after you acknowledge each blessing. This is a wonderful meditation as well. For example, “My family loves and supports me. I am blessed. Thank you” or “Today I learned all kinds of new things about the publishing industry. I am blessed. Thank you”.

What we focus on grows. What we appreciate appreciates. Focusing on our blessings and then feeling and expressing gratitude for them is very powerful. It is an affirmation for all the good things you have in your life already and will only manifest more good to you.

This is a wonderfully positive state to be in before bed time. I recommend it.

Sweet dreams,
