4 Effective Ways to Build Your Gratitude Muscle
“The real gift of gratitude is that the more grateful you are, the more present you become” Robert Holden
What does it mean to be in a state of gratitude? This is a topic I want to talk more about because lately some of my clients have been saying “Vita, how can I be grateful for anything when my whole life is falling apart? I have nothing to be thankful for and nothing to look forward to.” Does that sound familiar? I know I’ve certainly uttered those same words and felt pretty much the same way.
It’s important to understand when working with the Law of Attraction, everything you create is in the present moment. What you send out, you get back. When you live in a state of gratitude and look for things to appreciate on a daily basis, you will attract into your life more things to appreciate and feel grateful for.
When you are in a state of gratitude, you are in a state of present moment awareness. In that moment, is when you...
How To Find Hope When You Get Knocked Down
We’ve all had moments in our life where we have fallen down, gotten knocked over and can’t really figure out how to get back up.
Sometimes it feels like we're going through an obstacle course where we keep hitting blocks and walls and we get further frustrated, let down and disappointed. Does that sound like something you’ve experienced? I know I have.
In all of the situations where I've experienced powerlessness, in that very second, I've had to remind myself that I am not powerless, that I do have control.
The one thing I can control is what I'm thinking. My thinking then controls how I am feeling and my feelings lead me to a path of action and reaction.
Last week my sweet little boy started kindergarten. It was a day full of emotions. Some of those emotions had me crying in the parking lot. I drove away sobbing, knowing I was leaving him in a big, brand new place. Not only was I crying because of that but mostly because I was...
How a Negative Encounter Can Turn Into A Gift
This past week I learned a huge lesson from the universe based on an interaction I had with my ex-husband and his girlfriend. One that has been a long time in the making. Apparently I've been taking my time on learning this one thing.
There are always going to be people that will try and bring you down. They will get enjoyment from your failures and they will sit back and laugh as you suffer or what they think is suffering. They will laugh at your pain. They will judge and criticize you and of course in their eyes they are perfect.
Those types of people always look at the negative in your situation, always look at the bad and thrive off of getting validation from others about their views and opinions. They can easily justify why they say the things they say and do everything they can to bring you down to their level. The mistakes you make, the hurts you feel are only fuel for them. It’s like loading them up with more ammo to keep shooting your...
How to Shine your Inner Light In The Midst of Turmoil
This past week I embraced the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I signed my divorce papers ending an 8 year marriage. It was a bittersweet moment that left me feeling a wide range of emotions. As I looked back on my 8 year marriage I began to question everything I did. Although I did that in the past and made peace with my decisions, I found that in the aftermath of signing the paperwork, the same emotions crept back in.
After sifting through my memory of countless arguments and fights, I wondered what I could have done differently to handle the situation. How could I have avoided fights that led to the moments leading up to my divorce?
As I kept thinking about the bad moments I kept feeling negative emotions. Then I stopped myself.
I looked at where I was right now in my life and the vision I made for my new life and a strong sense of comfort and peace came over me. I was right where I needed to be.
The last 6 months of my life has been an intense...
