Affirmations
To attain such a level of gratitude that it infuses every moment of our lives is a goal worth aiming for. We can retrain the mind so that being thankful is always at the forefront of how we think about the world. As the mind changes, the heart will follow.
Affirmations can be very effective in re-programing the sub-conscious mind to allow feelings of gratitude to arise.
