Photo: Use this picture to reflect about your life and how blessed you are. We complain while we eat 3,4,5 times a day with the fridge always full while others can't even get one meal a day. We go to bed in safety while others can't even sleep in security. We complain and argue about the most trivial things while others don't have that privilege. Here are just a Few tips on how to be more Grateful in your life. Be Grateful Morning and Evening Practice taking a brief moment first thing in the morning when you wake and last thing at night when you sleep to simply say and experience, “Thank You.” Be Grateful When You Pray Islamic practices provide a minimum of five opportunities daily to take rest in the Divine Presence of God and to be grateful. Make it a practice to consciously take a moment to say “Thank You,” while feeling and experiencing gratitude after your prayers. In fact, the best way to ensure your prayers are answered is to be grateful! Be Grateful When You Eat and Drink By taking a little extra time to experience gratitude when you eat and drink, you become more present, and in Islam, eating is meant to be a spiritual experience. Gently and consciously say “Thank You” as you eat, and you will find the entire experience more joyful and healthy. Give Charity By consciously giving charity in Islam, you not only affirm that you are blessed, but you attract greater abundance to yourself as you strengthen your belief and trust in God, become less dependent upon dunya, the world, and so become rooted in a paradigm based in Providence. Keep a small jar or box in your home and before leaving each morning, put a little money, even some loose change, as you say, “Thank You.” Breathe and trust in God. Know that you are held, cared for and carried. “Gratitude for the abundance you have received is the best insurance that abundance will continue to come.” — Prophet Muhammad (saws) If you have any tips you'd like to share on how to stay more grateful in life please leave them in the comment below.
