Gratitude Affirmation | The Awakened State

The biggest part of magic is to count your blessings. It is so easy to become wrapped up in your worries, your depression, your anxiety. I know that sometimes your anxiety, depression, worry seems safe. But why allow succumb to these feelings where there is entire world to be grateful for? 

One day, perhaps by the end of the month Planet X will wipe us all out. So why spend time worrying about the tomorrow. Worrying about how many hours you'll get at work next week and if you will be able to pay your bills. Just hold gratitude to the present. The future forms by the magical positive thoughts that you create in this moment. 

The Awakened State is an amazing spiritual community. Ashley started the community on Tumblr. Then reached out to a secret Facebook group and TheAwakenedState.net. In order to break up the heavy, thick energy she decided to start a 30 day Gratitude challenge where you post 15 things you have gratitude for. 

Since, I am too lazy to grab my journal....

15 | Gratitude | 01

1. The security of a bed, a roof over my head, food in my fridge, and a transportation for work.
2. My father is home and well in health to some extent that he could be. My family is somewhat back to a new normal.
3. The leftovers of winter reminding me what has decayed will soon bloom within time. 
4. The first feeling of crawling under your heavy winter blankets to place your cold feet on the wooden floors of your bedroom.
5. Once your sleepy feet hit the wooden floors, being instantly reminded of the home I do have. The blessings I should be thankful for.
6. Having the ability to be a vegetarian, gluten-free or whatever kind of diet I would like to be. Because we have the luxury of having a choice here in America.
7. Remembering you have a lot to be grateful for despite your losses.
8. Being able to go to a work for a company you love. Being able to work PT for as long as you could due to your parents being as loving as they are. Your parents accepting of your dreams.
9. A cup of tea with a good co-worker.
10. Meeting lovely new customers, and helping her find her brand new wardrobe. Her mother being thankful for me saying : "I hope you get commission!" Unfortunately, I do not but I told her "as long as you are happy, I am fine!"
11. A non-anxiety drive home.
12. Home.
13. A good friend reminding me to push, push, push. To never give up. For her guidance mentoring me during through these sticky waters.
14. A computer to have a blog. A blog to have the ability to share, and write.
15. Selenite on top of my head, and creativity filled night.

Believe in the magic. x
