Have you actually thought of giving thanks as an art form? When you receive something and give something back, this is the Art of Gratitude. Giving and receiving is our basic nature.
When you ask for something and say “please,” that word goes out and it draws people toward you. For example, when you hear someone say, “Please, can you help me with something?” you automatically get curious and have a desire to take action.
Do you want to feel lovable, capable and worthwhile? As humans, we love to be needed. So when someone makes a request of you and needs you AND says, “Please can you…?” it means they want you. Which means you must be capable, you must be worthwhile and you must be lovable because they’re asking for your help. When you ask for something and say please, it draws people toward you! And they want to help you.
The reciprocity of receiving something is giving thanks; this is the Art of Gratitude. Sometimes giving thanks is a direct action we plan, and other times it takes a natural indirect form. For instance, by being aware that you’re in flow just by breathing, you don’t need to do anything more than that. You don’t need to go ask the tree, "Will you pop a little oxygen into the air, and I’ll breathe it in and I’ll exhale something useful for you?" There is an innate, inherent, undeniable balance there. You receive something, give something back and give a “thank you.”
Pay it forward, for instance, buy someone’s coffee when in line at your favorite coffee spot, they then have an opportunity to do something nice for someone else. Think how that ripples out into the world. The Art of Gratitude is dynamic!
Being thankful for little things in your life turns grumpy into grateful. Feel the upliftment, a natural buoyancy that radiates out into the world and lifts others too. This is the Art of Gratitude in motion. You ask, receive and give. Rinse and Repeat… Bliss
