It seems like forever ago that I came across this very simple, and very powerful, practice from Rhonda Byrne's book, "The Magic."

I practice this in my daily life - as well as every time I've worked one on one with clients.

And if you're wondering if it really works, I can promise you - it's the most powerful thing on the planet to transform your life.

When Einstein gave thanks, he thought about why he was grateful. When you think about the reason why you're grateful for a particular thing, person, or situation, you'll feel gratitude more deeply.

Are you ready?

Here's how:

First thing in the morning, or as early in the day as you can, Count Your Blessings.

1) Make a list of ten blessings in your life that you're grateful for.

2) Write down why you're grateful for each blessing.

3) Go back and read your list, either in your mind

or out loud. When you get to the end of each one,

say: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You (three times)

and really feel the feeling of gratitude for that blessing

as much as you possibly can.

4) Repeat these three steps every morning (or as early

in your day as possible)

Here's a list of subjects that will remind you of the major areas you can look for blessings to be grateful for. You can add any subject you want depending on what's important to you at any time.

Health and Body
Work and Success
Money
Relationships
Passions
Happiness
Love
Life
Nature: Planet Earth, Air - Water - the Sun
Material goods and services
Or any subject of your choosing.

Here are some examples for writing your list:

I am truly blessed to have (what), because (why)

I am so happy and grateful for (what), because (why)

I am truly grateful for (what), because (why)

With all of my heart, thank you for (what) because (why)

Use whatever wording works best for you.

It's important to remember that after you finish making each list, go back and read each one, either in your mind or out loud.

When you get to the end of each blessing, say the magic words three times, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, and really feel the gratitude for that blessing as much as you possibly can.

When you direct gratitude toward something or someone, you will feel it even more, and your gratitude will have even more power.

There are so many incredible things to be grateful for: your home, your family, your friends, your work, and your pets.

You could be thankful for the sun, the water that you drink, the food that you eat, and the air that you breathe; without any of them you wouldn't be alive.

You could be grateful for the trees, the animals, the oceans, the birds, the flowers, the plants, blue skies, rain, the stars, the moon, and our beautiful planet Earth.

You could be grateful for your senses, your eyes that see, your ears that hear, your mouth that tastes, your nose that smells, and your skin that enables you to feel.

You could be grateful for the legs you walk on, your hands that you use to almost everything, your voice that enables you to express yourself and communicate with others.

You could give thanks for your amazing immune system that keeps you well, and all of your organs that maintain your body so that you can live. And what about the magnificence of your human mind, which no computer technology in the world can duplicate?

Start Today!

Right now... and continue doing this for at least the next 21 Days.

You might think it could be too difficult to find ten things you're grateful for everyday, but the more you think about it, the more you'll find and realize how much you have to be grateful for.

When we all pay attention, and look closely at our lives, we'll see how much we actually do have. And how there really is so much to give Thanks for.
