Awaken your inner light

Gratitude is one of the simplest, and most powerful, healing tools we have. It has the ability to instantly shift negative thoughts or emotions into positive energy. When we cultivate gratitude for all that we have (opportunities, circumstances, challenges) we open the door to greater abundance and prosperity. By finding the good in everything, we naturally begin to attract more good into our lives. Research shows that an attitude of gratitude can reduce stress, support a healthier body, and create a happier, more peaceful life. Gratitude is also an essential part of the spiritual journey. It helps us stay centered, present, and aligned with higher vibrations. Incorporating gratitude into your daily routine is simple: start or end your day by writing down one thing you’re thankful for. You can keep a gratitude journal, or do what I do: write it on your daily calendar as a gentle reminder of the blessings all around you.

Affirmations are a simple yet effective way to shift your mindset. When negative or fearful thoughts arise, repeating positive statements helps interrupt those patterns and redirect your focus. Research on neuroplasticity shows that the brain can rewire itself with consistent practice—meaning affirmations can gradually strengthen new, more positive thought pathways. For best results, make affirmations a regular habit to train your mind toward optimism and resilience.

I am grateful for who I am and what I have.

I am grateful for this season of change.

Gratitude expands my heart and multiplies my blessings.

I am grateful for the joy and love in my life.

La la la la
You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you

For your selflessness my admiration
For everything you've done you know I'm bound
I'm bound to thank you for it
La la la la
Hey hey hey

You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
And I never could have come this far without you

For everything you've done, you know I'm bound
I'm bound to thank you for it
La la la la

Oh, I want to thank you for so many gifts you gave
The love, the tenderness, I want to thank you
I want to thank you for your generosity, the love
And the honesty that you gave me
I want to thank you show my gratitude
My love, and my respect for you, I want to thank you
Oh, I want to thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
