EXCERPT FROM ASIA HADLEY'S 7 SECRETS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW

Secret #1: Regular expression of gratitude inspires joy

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates vision for tomorrow.

--Melody Beattie

Gratitude comes from the Latin word gratis, meaning thankful. If you add the letter “t” after the first “a” in gratitude and drop the “gr,” the new word created is attitude. Gratitude is a state of mind in which your attitude is one of thankfulness and appreciation. To have an attitude of gratitude means to have a habit of seeing the good in circumstances and in people. Gratitude focuses the mind on the blessings present in your life. If you stopped to appreciate your material and nonmaterial abundance as well as the beauty in nature, you will resonate with vibrations that harmonize with feelings of joy.

One of the great laws of the universe is the law of vibration, which states that everything material and nonmaterial has a frequency, including your thoughts. Based on the law of attraction, which is a manifestation of the law of vibration, likes attracts likes. Therefore, you connect with similar vibrations that feed the continuation of your joyous feelings when you are being appreciative. Do you see how complaining or talking negatively about yourself or others attracts similar energy to you? You are complaining when you knowingly talk to someone who can’t help you resolve an issue. When you speak despairingly about yourself or someone else, you find more to complain about because you are resonating with that energy level. Ultimately you attract situations and circumstances that reflect your consciousness.

In “Power vs. Force,” Dr. David Hawkins calibrates human levels of consciousness. He describes the lowest level as shame and progresses upward 16 levels to enlightenment. An individual can operate on various levels in different areas of life. Dr. Hawkins cites levels below 200 as destructive of life in both the individual and society while levels above 200 are positive manifestations of power. Energies such as peace, joy, and courage calibrate above 200 while fear, apathy and shame calibrate below 200. Whether you choose to believe the calibrated figures or not, you know you feel better when you have positive emotions rather than negative ones. Although not a prerequisite, feeling good often precipitates behaving kindly to yourself and others. Cultivating a spirit of gratitude is a way to keep your positive energy flowing.

Having a spirit of gratitude means, you acknowledge and express appreciation for everything in your life such as your present circumstances, health, body, friends and foes. We all teach each other lessons. People and circumstances are mirrors that reflect what is happening in your inner world. This is your sanctuary of private thought where the subconscious exerts a great deal of control. We have a tendency to express gratitude when we receive something tangible, when someone does something for us, ceremoniously before eating, and when things are going our way. Expressing gratitude for material things and positive circumstances is one way to express gratitude. A friend sent this delightful e-mail about being thankful:

I am thankful:
For the wife
Who says it’s hot dogs tonight,
Because she is home with me,
And not out with someone else.

For the husband
Who is on the sofa
Being a couch potato,
Because he is home with me
And not out at the bars.

For the teenager
Who is complaining about doing dishes
Because it means she is at home,
Not on the streets.

For the taxes I pay
Because it means
I am employed.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug
Because it means
I have enough to eat.
