The Magic Of Attention
One day on a walk, I was struck with the idea that gratitude needs attention to work its magic. Gratitude has to be more than a concept; it has to be felt to be validated.
We can easily say that we’re grateful for something, but if you don’t feel it, it’s just another empty buzzword.
This is where attention comes in.
Take a moment or two and give your undivided attention to something or someone you are grateful for. Notice the sensations that accompany this focusing of attention. These sensations are your version of gratitude. No one else feels gratitude the way you do. This feeling is unique to you.
Notice how you got to that feeling – through the magic of attention. Gratitude wasn’t just a passing thought; it was the focusing of your attention that delivered that indescribable feeling.
I know that some people keep gratitude journals which is a useful practice. They write down things or people they're grateful for. My suggestion, to supercharge that practice, is to take the time to give that something or someone a few moments of exclusive attention and feel the sensations multiply.
If you want to feel the gratitude you express, focus your attention and that magical sensation will arrive quicker than you can say “Presto!”
All the best,
John
