EXCERPT
GRATITUDE
As we grow older—for the sake of discussion, let’s just say past the fourth decade mark—many of us reach a certain status quo in terms of how we think, act, and feel. Our routines are locked in place, and we have obligations and schedules. Our career paths are moving along, we’ve had intimate relationships, we may own property, and we might even have children. I would go so far as to say that many of us are outwardly generous, thankful, and appreciative for what we have, and yet we can all do much better— me included—when it comes to answering the questions in the following exercise.
Awareness Exercise
Answer the following questions to determine your aware- ness of your gratitude level:
Am I fully present when joyous things happen in my life?
Am I aware of the beauty that surrounds me?
Do I take time out of my day to acknowledge the little things?
Do I think about my health only when I am ill?
Do I reach out to loved ones only on special occasions, such as birthdays or when they are sick?
So, What Is Gratitude?
The traditional definition of gratitude as being thankful hardly does justice to the deep meaning and impact of the concept. Don’t get me wrong: Thinking grateful thoughts and expressing them through words, actions, and humane deeds is a wonderful and desirable thing that builds char- acter and authenticity. You become a much better person when this becomes second nature to you.
However, if you do the above and expect the universe to automatically reward you, you are in for a rude awakening. There isn’t a quid pro quo when it comes to manifestation. Although it may come from within, it is not intended to be a one-sided process. The universe responds more favorably to a person’s requests when authentic gratitude has been ex- pressed. If you think and/or verbalize grateful thoughts but constantly say, “Okay, I did A, B, and C, so now it’s time for the universe to pay me back,” then you’ve diminished all your good intentions. The universe doesn’t respond well to entitled questions, such as “When is it my turn?”
The following sections describe my three extra dimensions to the meaning of gratitude for you to absorb: be present, be aware of everything, and glorify the world around you in as many ways as you can conceive.
Be Present
Always live in the moment and appreciate what is happening to and around you every second of the day. Human beings were much better at this prior to the advent of the smartphone. This valuable device has also become our greatest distraction, limiting our ability to be present and make authentic connections. How many times do you check your phone during a family meal or while you’re attending an important celebration? If you happen to be seated in a theater or auditorium and are watching your child (or niece, nephew, etc.) perform in a school play or recital, are your eyes glued to the performance—or are you instead looking at it through your phone slit while recording? Ask yourself whether you would enjoy the event more as a video five years later or live while you are sitting in the audience now. You know what your answer should be!
Be Aware of Everything
Always take the time to pause, observe your surroundings, and take special note of the people, places, and things around you—including yourself. Use all five of your senses, not just sight. The other senses—smell, touch, sound, and taste—are equally valuable. For example, the wind may not seem visible (unless you are watching it blow something, such as a leaf), but it’s always accompanied by a scent and a sound and provides a sensation against your skin. Among the senses, taste is the outlier, with more limited application in this regard (i.e., taking in sustenance, receiving plea- sure from eating, or potentially identifying something that might be harmful).
Can You Feel Your Heartbeat?
There’s an old joke involving three octogenarian men— Saul, Abe, and Isaac—who constantly complain about their declining health. Every morning they sit at a table at their favorite diner and discuss their latest aches, pains, doctor visits, and medications.
One Tuesday morning, Saul starts off the whine-fest by saying, “Oh my goodness, I wake up every day at 6:00 a.m. and have to run to the bathroom to pee. I barely make it on time…and then it takes twenty minutes to finish.”
Abe scratches his bald head dismissively and challenges his friend. “No, no, no. My issues are much worse than that. I wake up at 5:00 a.m. every morning and barely make it on time to sit on the toilet. I grunt and groan in agony for a half an hour before I finally have a bowel movement.”
“I have you both beat,” Isaac insists, tweaking his thick white beard. “At 7:00 a.m. on the dot, I do number one. I go back to sleep and then at 8:00 a.m. on the dot, I do a number two.”
Saul’s eyebrows cross. “I don’t get it. That sounds just fine to me.”
“Yeah, I’m jealous of what you are describing. You sound just fine. How is your situation worse than ours?!” Abe inter- jects.
“I don’t get out of bed until 9:00,” Isaac whimpers.
As we advance past a certain age, we progressively wake up feeling groggier, achier, and creakier. We might do all the exercise in the world, eat right, and reduce stress but still feel Father (or Mother) Time catching up with us. Instead of moaning and groaning about the inevitable, I recommend a different approach.
When was the last time you woke up in the morning, listened to your heartbeat, and gave thanks for every thump? Try it sometime. It’s an amazing experience!
I recommend to my clients that they take five minutes each morning—preferably just before they are about to sit up in bed—to express gratitude to their heart, which symbolizes life and celebrates their awakening. This practice is simple.
Can You Feel Your Heartbeat? Exercise
Follow these seven steps to feel your heartbeat:
Close your eyes.
Place your hand on your heart.
Inhale deeply while focusing on the beating you feel in your hand.
Hold your breath for one second.
Gradually exhale while continuing to feel your heartbeat.
I guarantee that once you’ve tried this exercise, you will feel your heart bursting with positive energy. You will start off your morning feeling joy, which will carry throughout the day. If unfortunate things occur later that cause the im- pact of the heart exercise to fade, repeat it and you will once again feel happy and revitalized.
