our hearts to feel full of thanks and praise. Are you speaking gratitude into your life or constant cloud cover? Our words carry positive or negative energy. The words we speak determine how we feel, which determines how we act. Are your words carrying a positive or negative force into your life? Do you speak blessings or curses over your family, job and finances? Pay attention to the words you speak about a particular subject and ask yourself if you need to wash your mouth out with soap and begin a new language. Don’t wait until things fall apart to change the way you speak; take a deep inventory now and learn to speak love and prosperity over every area of your life. PAY ATTENTION: Everyday, life is communicating with you on some level. Whether it’s Mother Nature asking you to gaze longer at the full moon or a loud car horn that causes you to slow down and re-focus, we have countless opportunities to anchor deep and pay attention to the “now” moment. It is in these precious moments that the spirit and acknowledgment of gratitude can help calm your heart and ease your mind. Let every moment, from waiting in the grocery store line to watching a concert, be a moment of opportunity. Take time daily to offer gratitude for the little and the big. Any spiritual text will tell you that one of the most important ways to experience abundance and prosperity in your life emotionally, financially, physically and spiritually is to cultivate a heart of gratitude. Likewise, an attitude of constant negativity and expecting the worst turns into a person who is in a scarcity mindset. Nothing is ever good enough and worry is the preferred coping technique when stress hits. Stop the insanity of negativity and make your list of things that make you happy today! Wishing you a day filled with gratitude today and always! A special thank you to all of the readers who have taken the time to email me bits of inspiration and thanks for my articles. Your acknowledgement warms my heart and always inspires me! I am thankful for all of you! Ms. Lemery is a psychotherapist practicing in Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
