Remember Mindfulness – send positive thoughts

Gratitude

Old-timers in AA talk about the ‘Attitude of
Gratitude’, saying that if you fill your mind and soul
with gratitude, there will be no room left for
resentments or any of those other nasty feelings that
are so dangerous for people in recovery. They have a
point. One of the best ways of clearing resentful
thoughts from your head is to make a list of all the
things that you are grateful for. Why allow ourselves
to entertain such negativity when we can fill our
head with pleasant things? Am I grateful to my
Higher Power for doing for me what I could not do
for myself?

Gratitude is sometimes said to be both a feeling and
a behaviour. This means that as well as being an
emotional response to the good things that are
happening to us, it is also an act of responsibility to
live a life of gratitude that involves the power of
example. We should feel grateful, but we should also
demonstrate our gratitude through our behaviour.
Today I give thanks to God for all the blessings that
I have received in recovery.
