Hello relationship healers!
Let's make magic with the force of gratitude. Join me by practicing daily gratitude.
Practice 15
Today's Practice:
1. Think of a relationship with someone that is strained, difficult or broken.
2. Make a list of 10 things you can be grateful for from that relationship.
3. Write it down - example, "NAME, i'm grateful for ______."
4. Read through the list and focus on each item you are grateful for and say thank you.
I will be very honest this is a difficult practice. When we feel we have been wronged or mistreated it is very difficult to find gratitude in the situation. We have to recognize the hurt we feel is only hurting us. A way to make that hurt stop is to be grateful for the good things we experienced. I'm not asking you to forgive someone and annul them of their wrongdoing I'm asking you to pick out the positive things from the situation. Let's focus on the good that came from the situation.
Here could be some examples of situations that you can find gratitude for:
Divorce: I am grateful for how much I learned about myself and what I want in my life.
Broken Relationship with Kids: I am grateful for the children we brought into this world and the joy they bring me.
Stubborn: I am grateful for your passion especially when you focus it on productive things.
Lying: I am grateful that you care about my feelings and appreciate you most when you are honest with me.
You can use some of their most unpleasant characteristics and frame them in a more positive way, or in a way that asks the universe to provide you more of what you want from them.
Again this is a very difficult subject because let's be honest you are being grateful for a difficult person. Sometimes the hardest things in life bring you the most benefits. This is one of those things. Bringing gratitude to the table can help adjust your perspective on growth not resentment.
Since this is a public blog I have redacted the name and inserted "Name". This relationship is personal to me and not to be shared publicly. Please respect those boundaries. See below for my practice today:
Another book I have read on this subject is call "The Deal" by Richard Smoley. It is about forgiving people and reminds me a lot of this practice. If you are having a really difficult time with this practice I recommend you read this book.
It is an easy read that helps open your eyes. It has a practice it recommends you follow and then my favorite part of the book goes through questions about forgiveness, "the deal" and other topics. It's not based on any one religion but it draws examples from many. It's a great book and helped me come to terms with some things that I was very insecure about and needed a lot of forgiving.

What is "The Magic"
"The Magic" is a book by Rhonda Byrne. She is very well known for her book the secret. Essentially "The Magic" is a workbook to put into action the ideas behind the secret.
I highly recommend everybody have a copy of this book on their shelves. It is great if you just need a little inspiration to show some gratitude. I would highly recommend anything by Rhonda Byrne, her books and the secret books in general are easy to read and have great content about the law of attraction and gratitude.
You can get your own copy here. Please check out Rhonda Byrne as she is an awesome author and very inspiring.
Gratitude
This entire series of posts will be all about gratitude. Today I am grateful for forgiveness. It is a powerful thing to forgive someone. It is not to say we forgive the actions they did but more to release it from our minds and remove the burden off our shoulders. Easier said than done but much more freeing when we are able to release those feelings from ourselves. I am grateful I am not much of a grudge holder and those feelings don't serve me in a good way. The person I have the hardest time forgiving is myself and I'm so thankful for resources to learn how to address that.
🙏 Thank you for reading! What is something you have a difficult time forgiving? How do you find gratitude in forgiveness? What resources do you like for difficult situations?✨
