How to be grateful or Be in an attitude of Gratitude?



Developing an attitude of heartfelt and sincere Gratitude for all your current blessings unleashes the ultimate power for obtaining many more. Give thanks each day and you will see how being grateful for everything you have today can create great changes in your life.

“Thank you” – these two simple words can change one’s life. With the problems that we may face every day in our lives, these two little words are often the most neglected words each day. We always see the worst in life that is why we never become truly happy.

Expressing your gratitude or even being thankful about the things you have is really important. This will change your entire life – the way you see life, the way you handle your problems and the way you cope with the daily challenges.

Gratitude means counting your blessings, thankfulness, acknowledging things that you receive and noticing those simple pleasures in your life. The moment you wake up in the morning, say a little prayer, giving thanks to another life given to you. Gratitude means learning to live a kind of life as if things were miracles, and it also means being fully aware on continuous bases about how much you have been given.

Gratitude also shifts your focus from the things you lack in life towards great abundance that is now present. It is also good to note that psychological and behavioral research has shown the most amazing improvements in life brought by the practice of gratitude. Bring thankful and appreciating life and the things life offers you makes us more resilient and even happier.

Resilient in the sense that no matter what challenges and difficulties we experience, we know that life is not cruel to give us something that we can’t bear. It gives us strength with the belief and the mindset that no matter how many problems we may encounter, the blessings we receive are much greater than them. Gratitude strengthens relationships, reduces stress and improves health.

Once you develop an attitude of a sincere attitude for all the blessing you receive, this unleashes the power for you to receive even more than you already have.

Having the feeling of gratitude essentially means taking nothing for granted and giving thanks about the abundance in life that you have obtained. Gratitude actually fits in with abundance in various aspects. As a famous writer says, “ A lot of people are trapped in the state of poverty by having lack of gratitude.”

An Abundance Mindset always goes with gratitude because we can always attract great wealth as well as abundance with the power of gratitude.

👉5 Tips to reduce stress

👉1- Listen to music : If your workplace permits listening to music during working hours, plug-in the headphones and tune in for some light, acoustic music. Not only does relaxing music ease your brain by taking away stress, but it can also give you some much-needed motivation to complete the tasks in hand. Classical symphonies, relaxing OSTs and acoustic sound all work wonders.

👉2- Take a break by taking a walk : With the constant pressure coming from the weight of the world around us, it’s quite easy to feel bogged down and depressed. This is why one must break away from work once in a while even if it sounds implausible. A simple walk around the home can give you a fresh perspective on things and how to get things done, which is essential for slowing down your thinking and detach.

👉3- Exercise : No, I’m not going ask you to abandon work to visit the gym for a 40-minute lifting session. All you have to do is some simple stretches in between work to feel refreshed and relaxed. You can even go for a 10 min jog, do some pushups, or dance around when no one’s looking to bring back peace of mind.

👉4- Play a game ( virtual or a board game ) : There are so many options available, might as well take a quick board game or play a virtual game.

Mindfulness through Art and Qi from Srishti Vataa Healing arts centre

According to a HBR study — Organizations are demanding ever-higher performance from their workforces. People are trying to comply, but the usual method — putting in longer hours — has backfired. They’re getting exhausted, disengaged,and sick. And they’re defecting to healthier job environments.

Help your employees systematically rejuvenate their personal energy, and the benefits go straight to your bottom line.

Mandala Art: An alternative for Addiction treatment -Part 1

Addiction of drugs or alcohol is not only a crisis globally found but is less talked about too. But not many people are able to resist the urge of consuming addictive stuff after they have been discharged from the facilities. Reason, they are not accepted easily back in their old lives and they are beings that have already lost hope and positivity from their life. Thus, it becomes necessary that we establish a new way to not only help individuals fighting their way back to a normal life, but also inspire them for positive thinking and betterment in life. 

A couple of new treatments have emerged, today the addiction rehab centres have individual & group therapy sessions and a wide range of other therapeutic methods to treat it as well. These other therapeutic methods include, Mandala Art which is found to be very helpful and has proven effective in helping people in recovery process from addiction and substance abuse. Let’s see how it works in the different phases of treatment. 

Mandala Sessions in Rehab Centres

Mandala art is now becoming popular in many rehab facilities. Mandala is a non-addictive self-soothing technique that can work wonders in inculcating positive self-image and build confidence in person fighting addiction. It helps in augmenting self-image which is necessary for someone who has lost their own-self overtime due to addiction. It is a way to find yourself back and mending the severed strings with yourself over time. 

A mental collapse in adulthood leaves more deeper scares than we can think off. A person is caged in depression and not to forget the withdrawal symptoms that do not leave the person alone for a very long time. The calmness that comes from mandala art can help a person that away those negative thoughts about themselves and pick up their life with new energy and positivity, Mandala art in short delivers a person a will to continue on the path of getting riddance from addiction. 

It is necessary to understand that a person is not only fighting a battle of strong urge that has been gripping them for years, but also a mental battle to gather the strength to fight the distress that comes along. “Will the world take me back?”, a person continues to ask itself that echoes the answer, “Why to change, if nothing is going to fall into place”. We can change that answer into positive one by seeding hope and courage through mandala art form. It is a self-healing procedure which works magic, in finding the answers yourself. It works as meditation, an important medicine to mend yourself on inside.

Mandala Art: An alternative for Addiction or Palliative treatment -Part 2

How Mandala Art Therapy Blends in with Other therapeutic treatments? 

Mandala Art therapy can serve as an additional therapy for the residential treatment. The parts that are affected by the brain during any art therapy are different from other therapeutic methods. It opens up the creative lobe in the brain. Which is relaxing, fun, and soothes you from inside. It can be an excellent end-of-the-day activity, where patients can positively construct and embrace things they learned from other activities. It will speed up their recovery. 

It is very effective in easing of the mental and emotional exertion that is common to happen during the psychoeducational and process group sessions. This can keep them engaged in a constructive manner and will help them go forward in their quest.

How does it work? 

Mandala therapy uses patterns and different coloring methods that opens up the creative side of the brain and provides them a new dimension to grow. But most importantly, the colors and patterns help them understand their biggest fears and prepares them to creatively work on them to restart their life with new energy and positivity. 

A person drained out of positivity finds it difficult to cope with the fast-coming changes that come along addiction rehabilitation or palliative care. There are physical and mental both challenges. They fear change and this decreases their efficiency to work with the therapy. Self-motivation comes from the art therapy. 

Also, for people, specially, the difficult patients with real issues and problems can have separate sessions with mandala art therapist that uses color psychology to understand their problems and reach out for help in their coping process.

Art therapy sessions become their safe space to cocoon in and find their way back to the world of hope. It soothes them and encourages them to work on their issues themselves. Not many people are open up, this challenge is easily fought by art therapy and has proven effective. 

Mandala making connects them to spirituality. Even for a general population, meditation and spiritualism can make things positive and wonderful. It teaches self-love and to spread light around you. Someone in darkness, like people in rehabilitation process need it the most. It doesn’t need hours, plus helps them meet the wholeness, or cosmos. It balances them with the nature, promotes mental health and self-development. They can make their own mandala or they can use online mandala designs available online to color it and talk about their experiences. 

Post-rehab or palliative care art therapy sessions and their effects

Keeping up the process and curbing the urge to again leap on to the darker side is what the addition fighters fear all the time. The process of self-healing doesn’t end as they walk out of the rehabilitation center. It is actually start of the actual problems, like acceptance. 

Mandala art strengthens them from within and prepares them for the harsh world and unacceptance. But most importantly, it makes accept themselves first. To meet with the wholeness is a joyful experience, it completes you in many ways. It generates a new perspective towards life. It helps you understanding your priorities and keeps you on track. Patients are needed to be encouraged to keep on going with post-rehab mandala art therapy. It calms people down after they have had a hard day, rather then going back to drugs or alcohol, it is something which is constructive, positive and full of life.
