Confession: I am very messy, I would rather do anything other than housework... I was seeking guidance today regarding this post, and was given the word gratitude
Inner monologue:
"Gratitude... I'm grateful."
Are you? For your clothes? Why are they not hung?
For food? Why was it left out last night and trashed today?
For your car? .... for work....
I realized that gratitude like love is an action not a statement. And if I'm healing and rebuilding myself, I want gratitude in every brick.
This is the foundation of ourselves being poured with each activity like mixing cement.
Preparation:
open a door And window of your residence,
Light a candle, incense, or boil some tea in a pot on the stove,
choose 2 positive songs
Now...
Breathe in through your nose for a count of 8 and out for count of 6
Look around
Express gratitude by cleaning something that has been neglected.
This could be a pet, the fridge,... Yourself....Laundry...making your bed...
If you aren't able to do the above suggestion.
Close your eyes and envision yourself being washed clean. Like you are going through a car wash. Envision yourself scrubbing a house a car and whatever you would like to be able to clean.
Big hugs and high 555
