One way to develop a consistent feeling of gratitude is through quiet contemplation or meditation. Taking the time to still ourselves provides us with the opportunity to reflect on how grateful we are for who we are, what we have, and even for the challenges before us. We have been so vigorously conditioned to be busy all the time that our days come and go without our regard. Taking a few moments on a regular basis to be in the moment can be gratifying in itself, in addition to fostering an overall sense of appreciation. When a person is in that state of mind, he or she vibrates at a higher frequency attracting more people, experiences, and opportunities to be grateful for.
