How to journal
We are journaling this morning to affirm our thankfulness to the universe for what already is. Let us start this morning with abundance and fulfillment, instead of seeking and beseeching. Instead, we remind ourselves of the knowledge that what we ask for, we already have.
------------------------------------------
BEFORE journaling
1. Meditate, center yourself, go inwards, and be still
2. Connect, and be with the awareness
3. Put grateful MUSIC on. Put yourself in a grateful mood or feeling. The easiest way to do this is by using MUSIC.
I cannot stress this enough. Put on soothing music that inspires you to be grateful, or whatever music that makes you feel thankful. Keep this music on in the background while you're writing.
Having music aids us in feeling grateful, and it’s essential to strengthen the feeling.
The universe or consciousness will respond to your feelings of gratitude, not mere words or thoughts. We don't want to be writing down our words unfeelingly and robotically, that won't be effective! So it is truly CRUCIAL for us to use music. I'd even say that this may be the true purpose of music in this world, to elevate us to the state of feeling that connects us with the Source.
For whoever has [gratitude] will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have [gratitude], even what they have will be taken from them.
Matthew 25:29

HOW TO WRITE IT
-----------------------------------------
Step 1
-----
- Write your grateful things in the PRESENT TENSE.
For example:
- Dear God, I'm so thankful for the abundance of wealth that is continuously flowing to me from the Source
- I'm so so grateful for the harmonious, joyful, and loving relationship that I have with my family that is the perfect reflection of the Oneness of all
- Dear Universe, I'm so so thankful that I love my work and I am so fulfilled and happy where I am now
- Dear Lord, I'm so grateful for my perfect health that is the expression of my true self
Spiritually, everything that we ask for is already fulfilled and granted, which is why we are ‘reminding’ ourselves of this truth by being grateful for something that already is.
When we are asking for something, that implies lack and the universe will answer with more lack.
When we are grateful for what we already, spiritually, have, then we will receive more of it.
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and
it will be yours.”
Mark 11:24
Jesus never asked for anything in his prayers. He thanked for it as if he already had got it.

Step 2
-----
- Write continuously for
10 - 15 minutes, once a day.
Preferably in the morning before your start your day.
Step 3
-----
- Check if you are really feeling the gratitude affirmations as you're writing them.
You know you're on the right track when:
Words of gratitude pour out from you effortlessly
There's a feeling of an overwhelming gratefulness
You are crying in happiness as you write the affirmations
Happy journaling! ∞
