The Magic - Day 6 (Works like magic)


Today, imagine that you have an invisible manager whose job is to keep a record of your thoughts and feelings at work. Imagine he will follow you wherever you go work poised with a pen and notebook noting down every thought and feeling that you have. Every time you find something about your job to be grateful for, your manager will make a note of it. Your job is to find as many things as you can that you can be grateful about and if the list is really long, your invisible manager can bring more of it into your life.
More money, more success at work, more opportunities, more enjoyment and more fulfillment.
Now go, find all the things that you can be grateful for at work.
The more deeply your manager can see you're feeling gratitude, the sooner your manager can start to make the magic happen in your work.

Today's practice:
1) Repeat Day 1 practice: First thing in the morning write down 10 things that you are grateful to have in your life along with the reason why you are grateful. Once you've written down all 10, now read from the first one till the last but after each item say "thank you, thank you, thank you" while feeling the reason why you are grateful.
2)  Last thing at night take your gratitude stone and feel it while thinking of the best thing that happened to you that day. This can be done a few times during the day too.
3) Take a look at the photo of the 3 most important people in your life and give thanks that they are, 'just the way they are'.
4) Read the card which says "The Gift of Health is keeping me alive" that is displayed prominently in your room.
5) Look at the Magic 10 rupee note that says ""Thank you for all the money I've been given throughout my life"
6) Make a note of all the things at work that you are grateful for and feel the gratitude deeply.

Have a magical Day.....

The Magic - Day 5 (Magical Money)


Think back on all the times that you've received money, materials, services or something that cost someone some money. Be grateful for each of those times and soak in the gratitude.
Make a promise to yourself that whenever you receive any money, whether it's your salary, a refund or discount, or something that someone gives that would have cost you money, you will be truly grateful for it. Each of these circumstances means that you have received money and each instance gives you an opportunity to use gratitude's magical power to increase and multiply your money even more by being grateful for the money you just received.

Take a Rs 10 note (can be Rs1 or Rs 50 or 100 too). Write on a sticker or post it that you place on the note "Thank you for all the money I've been given throughout my life"
Take this note with you today and read it at least 4 to 5 times today at different times

Today's practice:
1) Repeat Day 1 practice: First thing in the morning write down 10 things that you are grateful to have in your life along with the reason why you are grateful. Once you've written down all 10, now read from the first one till the last but after each item say "thank you, thank you, thank you" while feeling the reason why you are grateful.
2)  Last thing at night take your gratitude stone and feel it while thinking of the best thing that happened to you that day. This can be done a few times during the day too.

4) Put up the card which says "The Gift of Health is keeping me alive" prominently in your room and read it a few times.
5) Take the Magic 10 rupee note with you today and read it 4 or 5 times today.

Have a magical prosperous day today.

"Gratitude is a vaccine, an antibiotic and an antiseptic"

The degree that you are grateful for your health is the exact degree that your health will magically increase.

Think about each part of your body and give thanks for all that it does. "Say thank you for my........ "
Give thanks to each of your senses, each of your organs, your beautiful mind, your loyal and hardworking heart, ....

As you dwell on each, think of how blessed you are that it is working and allowing you to live a life without worrying about it  and its work.

Write on a white card in large letters "The Gift of Health is keeping me alive" Carry it with you for the day and read it at least 3 to 4 times today.

The Magic - Day 3


It's our contact and experience with other people that gives our life joy, meaning and purpose. Gratitude makes relationships flourish. Choose the 3 people in your life who are closest to you and who can have the maximum impact on your life. Pick up a photo of each of them and keep them with you for the day. Look at each person and think of all the things that you like, adore or respect about them. If you are alone, give loud thanks and praise for the way they are. Do this three to four times today. Each day you can change the people if you like.


Today's practice:
1) Repeat Day 1 practice: First thing in the morning write down 10 things that you are grateful to have in your life along with the reason why you are grateful. Once you've written down all 10, now read from the first one till the last but after each item say "thank you, thank you, thank you" while feeling the reason why you are grateful.

Lead a life of gratitude and joy. Have a fabulous day.

The magical world of gratitude: The Magic - Day 1 and 2

The Magic - Day 1 and 2


I've fancied myself very high on gratitude and believed that I'm usually grateful to people, things and events in my life. Till I started reading Rhonda Byrne's "The magic" three days back. I'm now in Day 2 of the book and I find powerful practices, that if one were to practice as per the book, can magically change your life.
I've discovered that I've not even scratched the surface of this subject earlier and that I have a lot more work on myself before I can truly call myself a "Gratitude Coach"

I'm going to share with you this book as I read it, so those of you planning to buy it and do not want the content revealed can just log off and go pick up your own copy. Others can stay on with me and do the practices each day

Day #1:
Write down 10 things that you are grateful to have in your life along with the reason why you are grateful/ For example; I am truly grateful to have ............. in my life because he/she is so truly ..................... and I am so ......... because of his/her presence in my life.
You can be grateful for a person in your life, a pet, a quality you have, a material possession, a job / career, a lifestyle, a cause or whatever else you are truly grateful to have in your life.
Write this down first thing in the morning in a lovely notebook that you could call your gratitude journal.
Once you've written down all 10, now read from the first one till the last but after each item say "thank you, thank you, thank you" feeling the reason why you are grateful. This is very important and works even more powerfully if said out aloud.

Day #2:
Find a smooth stone / pebble that feels good in your hand. This will be your gratitude stone.
Every night before going to sleep, feel the stone in your hand and while doing so, think back on your day and find the one incident / person or thing in your life that day that you feel most grateful for. Once you found that, think back on why you are most grateful for that person, thing or event, all the while caressing your gratitude stone. Once you've relived that moment, you can put that stone prominently near your bed / alarm clock.
You can carry the stone all day in your pocket or bag and at least 3 or 4 times, feel the stone and get in touch with that feeling of gratitude you had the previous night.

Do these practices, the first one today itself as soon as you get yourself a good notebook. Tomorrow you need to do both, practice#1 in the morning and practice#2 in the night. And I shall share with you Day#3 sometime after that.

Have a life filled with gratitude. Happiness is sure to follow :)
