How are you doing with your 30-Day Fast From Fear Program<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Sometimes, just like when we’re dieting, we fall off the wagon and
\nallow ourselves to indulge a little. Well, when you’re fasting from
\nfear, you can expereince set-backs, too. That’s okay…the important
\nthing is to acknowledge yourself for what you are doing well and then
\nre-focus your attention on faith and daily right actions that are
\npositive and life-affirming.<\/p>\n

One of the keys to managing our fears is to practice gratitude daily.
\nTo help you with this, I’m officially declaring March 30th as the
\nbeginning of Gratitude Week.<\/p>\n

No matter how challenging your personal and financial circumstances
\nare, a daily gratitude practice will help keep your attention focused
\non what you have to be grateful for in your life. We all have much to
\nbe thankful for that we can overlook in the face of adversity. However,
\nit is exactly during our most challenging times, that we most need to
\nremind ourselves of the good that exists in our lives. A daily prayer
\nand gratitude practice can help sustain us and see us through our most
\ndifficult times. <\/p>\n

Remember, whatever is happening in your life is not
\nwho you are, it is simply where you are. In time, the hard times will
\nfade while all that we have to be grateful for will remain…provided
\nwe haven’t lost track of them or failed to honor and appreciate them as
\nthe blessings they are.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I invite you to do during Gratitude Week:<\/p>\n

Everyday this week, begin your morning by making a list of ten things
\nthat you are grateful for. Here is my “Top 10 Gratitude List” for today:<\/p>\n

    I am grateful and blessed by God’s love, guidance and support in my life.
    I am grateful and blessed for my sweet and healthy daughter, Anjelica.
\n    I am grateful and blessed for my loving husband, Robert.
\n    I am grateful and blessed by my dog, Goldie (she’s actually an angel with fur!)
\n    I am grateful and blessed by my work as a Money Coach, writer and teacher.
\n    I am grateful and blessed by my family and friends.
\n    I m grateful and blessed for our home and community.
\n    I am grateful and blessed with a healthy mind, body and spirit.
\n    I am grateful and blessed for my wonderful clients.
\n    I am grateful and blessed by my fellow money coaches and students.<\/p>\n

<\/i>What do you have to be grateful for today?<\/p>\n

Share you gratitude list with me and other Beliefnet readers!<\/p>\n

Here’s a Blessing of Gratitude for today:<\/p>\n

There is nothing I can give you
\nWhich you do not have;
\nBut there is much, very much, that
\nWhile I cannot give it, you can take.
\nNo heaven can come to us unless our hearts
\nFind rest in today. Take heaven!
\nNo peace lies in the future which is not hidden
\nIn this present instant. Take peace!
\nThe gloom in the world is but a shadow.
\nBehind it, yet within reach, is joy.
\nThere is a radiance and glory in the darkness,
\nCould we but see.
\nAnd to see, we have only to look.
\nI beseech you to look.<\/p>\n

~ Fra Giovanni (1513 A.D.)<\/p>\n

Peace and Blessings!
