Start the day
Write down 10 new Blessings and why you are grateful for them. Read each one repeating “thank you, thank you, thank you“, feeling gratitude for each one.
If it seems that we are repeating the same magic practices every day but in a different way, we are.
Please remember that the brain takes a minimum of 28 days of doing the same thing over and over again to form a habit. We are in the process of training our brains to feel thankfulness and to express gratitude in such a way that it becomes an effortless part of what we do every day without us even thinking. Giving thanks and feeling gratitude should be as effortless as breathing.
So on Thursday, the 11th day of the Gratitude Journey, when you wake up, before you even open your eyes, let your first thought be to give “thanks” for this new day as there is no greater gift than the gift of life.
Every new sunrise brings new hopes, a fresh new start, a new beginning, new experiences, new adventures, another day to love and be loved, another day to dream and to make dreams come true, another day to enjoy every moment and to be thankful. So be thankful for each new day.
As sang by Micheal Buble, It’s a new dawn. It’s a new day. It’s a new life. For me. And I’m feeling good.
From when you open your eyes, to that first stretch, to getting out of bed, to washing your face and brushing your teeth, making and enjoying that first cup of coffee, having a bath or shower, getting dressed, brushing your hair and getting ready for the day, whatever your morning routine is, make it magical by feeling gratitude and giving thanks for everything you touch and are blessed to have.
Rhonda Byrne gives us insight into how she makes her mornings magical,
“Every day without exception, I say “thank” as I put one foot on the floor, and “you” as my other foot touches the floor, so that as both feet touch the floor for the first time each day, I’ve said thank you.
As I walk toward my bathroom I say the magic words, thank you, in my mind with each step. Then I continue saying thank you in my mind as I touch and use each thing in my bathroom.
By the time I am dressed and ready for the day, I feel so happy I could jump for joy.
And when I feel that happy, I know my gratitude has worked, and I am guaranteed to have a magical day.
As I go through my day, I really feel as though I have a magic power with me, because one good thing after another happens.
And as each good thing happens, I’m even more grateful, which speeds up the magic with even more good things happening.
You know those days when everything just seems to go right for you? Well, that’s what it’s like after doing Magic Morning, but multiplied!”
So from today let’s welcome each morning with a smile and a thankful heart.
End the day
When you go to bed tonight hold your Magic Rock in your hand. Close your fingers around it and feel it. Think of all the good things that have happened today. Choose the best good thing that happened and, feeling as grateful as you can, say “thank you, thank you, thank you“.
