S1 Ep4 | The Power of Gratitude in Manifestation

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your desire is to leave something behind or have less of something in your life you will find yourself going in circles and manifesting more of what you don’t want. There is a saying that, "that which we fixate on persists” also “wherever you go, there you are.” </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>So, if we are going to be less stressed, less worried, less depressed – we first have to find a way to shift our brain to realize how much joy we already have and how much more we can make by simply counting the current blessings in our basket.</strong> The <a href= "https://www.heysigmund.com/the-science-of-gratitude/">science of gratitude</a> is the act of intentionally choosing to be grateful for everything in our life, even the challenges.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>This is not to say that someone in dire circumstances can just positive think themselves out of them.</strong> That is not the conversation I’m having right now.

How does that feel versus the other negative thinking way?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our negative <a href= "https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/theory-knowledge/202105/what-is-the-ego"> ego</a> is really good at convincing us that what we are afraid of will kill us if we try it. That trying and failing is a death sentence. The only thing trying and failing harms in most endeavors is the armor of that negative ego to keep up stuck in the illusion that we aren’t good enough, smart enough, capable enough to do the thing we are afraid to do.</span></p> <p><strong>F.E.A.R.</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">= False Expectations (experience) Appearing Real. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://positivepsychology.com/gratitude-exercises/#:~:text=%20To%20practice%20gratitude%20reflection%2C%20follow%20these%20steps%3A,yourself%3A%20you%20are%20a%20unique%20individual%2C..
