Each breath I take is a reminder of my blessings.

Each morning and evening, I inhale blessings and exhale gratitude. The breaths of air that enter my body keep me alive and awake to endless possibility. I treasure and respect my blessings of life and strength.

With each breath, I think of something that I am grateful for. I am able to spend hours per day doing this because the list is so long.

When I sit in the presence of my friends and loved ones, I take a few moments to soak in the present moment. I inhale their essence and the joy that they bring to my life. Taking in their spirit fills me with so much peace and satisfaction.

I take in the positive energy that surrounds me. It builds me up and keeps me going. It provides a reason for me to push through even the most difficult times.

During those rough days at work, I take a moment to meditate on my accomplishments. I remind myself that, although today seems impossible, my history shows that I overcome challenges.

I am enough, and I have enough.

Today, I am humbled by all the goodness that my life presents to me each day. There is so much to be grateful for. I say “thank you” for the blessings and my ability to share them with the world.

What Is Post-Traumatic Growth?

In this episode, Kelly explains what post-traumatic growth actually is. It relates to how we look at situations through our own personal lens. How do you look through the lens of your life? Certainly, Kelly looks at her life through the lens of growth, transformation, and spirituality.

We’re continually trying to find meaning in our lives. Coronavirus is a time of rebirth and regrowth. Although it’s challenging for so many, it’s an opportunity as well. In addition, it’s time to stop. Slow down and tune in with yourself. Let’s live our most aligned and most highly purposed lives collectively. Besides, life just literally stopped – so who are you now? Or who do you choose to be as we move forward in this new way of living?

Furthermore, Kelly speaks about going forward in her own life. Instead of having PTSD, we can have the experience of post-traumatic growth. How present is the fear in your body? Let the fear speak because it has a message for you.

Above all, according to Kelly, once you allow the message to move through you, then you can be free. If your fear could say anything in the whole world, what would it want to say? After letting the fear speak, people start to feel lighter and freer. In other words, we need to build tools and resources to get out of fear. Probably, it is also advisable to do this type of work with a professional such as Kelly so that you can recover with greater ease. It’s your birthright to have peace in your heart, mind, body, and soul.

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy

Later, Kelly talks about heart-centered hypnotherapy, how she got involved with hypnotherapy, and what it took her to get there. At one point, Kelly’s personal relationship and business crumbled simultaneously. It was devastating. However, Kelly was utterly transformed after on session with a hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy has changed Kelly’s life from a puddle to starting her own hypnotherapy training school.

Everything goes back to our childhood – as an adult, these thoughts are entirely tripping us up. Stay tuned as Kelly describes the multiple varieties of hypnotherapy and the most important things that women can do during these uncertain times.

If you ever get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, you know how out of touch you can get with the things that really matter. But you actually have plenty of things to be grateful for, regardless of the circumstances in which you may find yourself.

Each person has their own unique list of things that bring simple pleasure, feelings of pure joy, or just a sense of comfort each day. You can be grateful for physical blessings like where you live, the climate you reside in, or even your residence.

You might be thankful for certain people being in your life. This may include your kids, your grandma, or your best friend. The most important function of thankfulness is that it allows you to open your heart, mind, and soul to goodness, gratitude, and light.

If you’re unsure how to consciously cultivate gratitude, consider these suggestions:

1. Take Five

Allow yourself five minutes each morning to experience thankfulness. Take these moments to simply think about the past day. Say to yourself, “One thing I’m thankful for is___.” Fill in the blank with something you noticed from the last 24 hours. Think on it for a minute or so. Smile about it. Then go on with your morning.

2. Appreciate Your World Openly

Share your gratitude with others. For example, if you’re chatting on the phone with a friend, you could say something like, “I am so glad that I painted the living room that beautiful light teal color. The sunlight reflects on it so nicely.” Another example is, “I went shopping with my sister yesterday and she was so helpful when I wanted to pick out a new dress.” When your verbal acknowledgments to others demonstrate the gratitude you feel, you’ll develop a habit of recognizing what you’re thankful for.

3. Notice the Small Stuff

Promise yourself you won’t take little things for granted. Because life becomes crowded with people, tasks, and objects, you may feel challenged to notice small bits of wonder in your day. But if you put your mind to it, you’ll be astounded at what you see.

Open your eyes to the wonders all around you. They won’t cost a dime. A sunset, a warm cup of tea, or an ice-cold glass of water when you get home from work can be great reasons to feel gratitude. The smell of honeysuckle as you walk by the vine or your daughter’s impish smiles are still more things that might remind you of your blessings.

4. Learn to Turn Your Thoughts Around

When you discover you’re thinking negative thoughts, imagine a big stop sign and say, “Stop” out loud. Then, replace the stop sign with an image of something around you that you’re grateful for right at that moment. Think about that object, experience, person, or situation and bask in your positive experience.

5. Keep a Gratitude Journal

If you find you’re having difficulty remembering to notice the things that stir your inner thankfulness, perhaps starting a gratitude journal would help. A journal is a tangible visual aid that will trigger you to think about what you’re grateful for.

Try just putting put the date on the page and jotting down what you’re grateful for at that time. You can write as much or as little as you wish. Place your journal in a spot where you’ll see it frequently, like on the dining room table, the kitchen counter, or near your favorite chair.

This way, you’ll be prompted to experience your gratitude more often. Being grateful is truly one of the things that make life worth living!

Each time you consciously decide to experience your thankfulness, you’ll feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Open your eyes and mind to the people, places, things, and experiences you’re grateful for.

You’ll feel so much better about your life.
