Whether it is The Law of Attraction in action or simply your ability to recognize how blessed you are does not matter. It works. I found it impossible to feel sorry for myself and grateful at the same time. This is powerful. If you can practice gratitude for some of the hard things in life, you really start to see how to make lemonade out of lemons. Can you find things even in the pandemic to be grateful for? If nothing else, it helps us realize how important it is to appreciate all we have because things can change in a heartbeat, and so much can be taken for granted. PRACTICE LOVE Maybe practicing love sounds strange, but it works. Practice during your commute, before bed, in the morning, or during your meditation or prayer time. Mentally extend love to every- one in your life both past and present. Just picture them and send love from your heart. If you have trouble feeling it, imagine how much you love your pet and connect with that pure love. Try it and just feel how good it feels! It puts us in that higher vibration, that undeniable state of bliss. Next, imagine receiving love from everyone in your life, both past and present. When I first practiced this, I found it harder to receive than to give love. This realization allowed me to go deep- er and work on feeling worthy of being loved. Allow yourself to receive love mentally and emotionally from each person that comes to mind and and spend time connecting to that feeling. PRACTICE LOVING YOURSELF Write on your mirror "I am enough" and say it to yourself every time you look in the mirror. Be kinder, gentler, and more patient with yourself and you will find it easier to extend to others. Be kinder, gentler, and more patient WITH YOURSELF AND YOU WILL FIND IT EASIER TO EXTEND LOVE TO OTHERS
