Gratitude Project

This next Blessism is all about living in the present moment and feeling gratitude. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when things are stressful. Mindfulness reminds us that sometimes we simply need to step back, take a deep breath, and practice the pause. Within each moment of anxiety or stress, there is also an opportunity to sit with the breath. Grounding yourself into the present moment, can help you more than you might imagine. Repeating a Mindful Blessing can also help you learn how to bless the mess and find the gratitude and joy along life’s crooked path helping you transform life’s painful lessons into Blessisms!

Blessism for Being Present     

I bless and am extraordinarily grateful for my ability to live in the present moment. Today I Intend to do one thing at a time. If I feel overwhelmed, I will take a step back and BREATHE. I bless my breath and my body’s ability to breathe deeply. Within each moment of anxiety or stress, there is also an opportunity to sit with the breath. With each wonderful breath, I consciously let go of the stress and breathe in the peace, tranquility, and joy all around me. Today is a beautiful sacred gift. With every breath, I let go of the old, and welcome in the new.

You cannot look for happiness or joy within someone else if you don’t first experience that joy within yourself.

Relationships offer us so much. But with happiness and joy, sometimes comes sadness and pain.

When you feel stressed, it’s important to understand that external circumstances are not always to blame for your unhappiness.

Times of stress are a great time to step back and reevaluate what you might need to change to start improving your situation.

You are responsible for your own happiness and your own joy.

We hope you will continue on this journey and join us for Mindful March where we will focus on Blessisms for stress, anxiety and PTSD.

Albert Einstein once said,

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

Much like luck, opportunities are made, and they don’t always automatically happen.

You can either live with a sense of disappointment at the opportunities you feel like you’ve missed or wake up every day determined to seek out and make your own luck and your own opportunities.

In Brian Tracy’s wise words, “Decide what you want, and then act as if it were impossible to fail.”

Living with a sense of wonderment and curiosity will bring more opportunities than you ever thought possible!
