Well, you survived the dreaded holiday season with your emotional health reasonably intact. You can now look forward to every day drudgery, until the next go around.  However, it's impossible to escape all the hope and expectations that comes from wishing people well, spreading cheer, shopping for just the right gifts, shedding tears while watching holiday movies, and making New Year's Resolutions (which tend to be aimed at the betterment of our physical, emotional and cultural life.)  Tammi Baliszewski, Ph.D., author of Manifesting Love from the Inside Out, and Manifesting Prosperity from the Inside Out believes in a powerful practice which has the potential to improve every area of our life. It is called "Extreme Gratitude." 

"Gratitude is something that never goes out of season and can be seen as spiritual practice that softens our energy, heals our mind, opens our heart, and aligns us more directly with our soul.

A partial list of the benefits of cultivating gratitude includes: healing our relationships; strengthening our bodies; increased compassion; resolving guilt; dissolving shame; mending our broken hearts; and align us more directly with Source. Gratitude can also invite prosperity, opportunities, grace, ease, comfort, AND usher miracles into our lives.  I know because I have experienced it myself," says Tammi Baliszewski, Ph.D.

Gratitude, whether it is for other people, or ourselves, can a create spillover effect that reduces blame we place others and the "victimhood trap." Additionally gratitude can help cultivate a greater sense of personal responsibility, an experience of peace, authentic power and a feeling of greater control in one's own destiny. It can also help us make better decisions and support us in manifesting more of what we want in our lives. 

Tammi Baliszewski, (whose life is an inspirational story of overcoming adversity) tells clients to "surrender victimhood, quit hanging on to grievances, let go of any notion of being small, less important, unworthy or weak."  Upleveling conscious gratitude can minimize anger, reduce judgement and decrease frustration while bringing forth the blessings of plenty and help create positive energy. "Practicing daily gratitude can fuel enthusiasm for the next challenge, cultivate the wherewithal to take solid steps towards our heartfelt goals, and help reveal the path to the destination of our dreams." Tammi emphasizes with a glint of joy in her eyes.   

Consciously considering gratitude can transform traffic jam torture into a helpful healing retreat.  It can make a bad situation tolerable, and a good situation great. Gratitude can turn a hovel into a sanctuary, and a challenge into an adventure. A loss into a learning, and illness into health. Appreciation can transform someone who annoys you, into someone you adore. Gratitude can shift the discomfort of anxiety into equanimity, pain into peace, pushing into patience, and hurt into hope. When we give up entitlement and expectation, and instead focus on appreciation, our energy is transformed, and therefore so will be our lives. 

When we turn our attention away from focusing on what is bad, sad, wrong, what hurts and makes us angry, AND INSTEAD pay more conscious attention to what is good, right, positive and what our soul is learning, we increase our wattage and up-level our vibration.  And because like attracts like, and because water always finds its own level, it is spiritual law that what we manifest from this space will FEEL better, LOOK better, and BE better.

The bottom line is, when you change the way you look at things, what you look at changes.

"Why am I such an advocate and proponent of gratitude? And how do I know it works? Because I witness countless miracles in the lives of my students, readers and clients who implement a gratitude practice. Additionally, it has been the key ingredient in healing my body and health, as well as my finances and prosperity. As soon as I gave up my bad habit of complaining, and instead started counting my blessings, it almost immediately put the brakes on the downward spiral of my life, and started to propel my upward ascent.  Starting every day with active appreciation has helped heal my relationships, reveal my life's purpose, and assisted me in attracting the love of my life."
