Will Gratitude Re-route the Course of Humanity?
A few months ago, I was thrilled to have a guest blog published on the USA’s most popular online mindfulness magazine, Elephant Journal.
The article focuses on the troublesome times we’ve been experiencing in society for a while now, and how one of mankind’s most natural qualities could be the way to overcome it.
I achieved over 7/10 at the time on the site’s ecosystem rating scale and I’m still filled with joy & excitement to have been published!
Here is an excerpt:
We are currently experiencing a chapter in history where it feels as if current affairs couldn’t get much worse.
The wrong political people in power, greed running the economy and incessant environmental disasters are very much our current reality. It’s no wonder that more and more people are desperately seeking to resolve careless action such as negligence to recycle and voting without understanding the extent of what they’re actually voting for.
When the present moment appears bleak all around us, how else can we seek solace?
Well, even some of the most spiritually disinterested of beings are awakening to the powerful impact of turning one’s attention inward to escape the external chaos.
It’s no wonder that more and more people are becoming interested in reading self-help books as well as learning about meditation, yoga and other mindful activities to escape the stress climax which our world has reached.
We need to focus more of our attention on the present moment where there is much to be rewarded.
Tuning into the present involves silence, peace and quite simply, gratitude for being alive. When we quieten the ongoing storytelling in the mind for just a few moments, we reap benefits such as mental clarity, improved concentration and careful action.
I’ve found that practicing gratitude for the smallest of things has made me happier for all in life that I have, obsess less about the things I don’t, and ultimately, manifest more positive experiences in my everyday life.
