Did you know that practicing gratitude can actually improve your brain function and overall physical and emotional well-being? Well, it's true. 

Brain scans and research conducted by renown psychiatrist, Dr. Daniel Amen showed a significant improvement in brain function following the practice of gratitude. For years now, spiritual leaders and psychologists have claimed that a positive attitude can help heal our lives, but now we know that the simple act of gratitude can actually improve our physical and emotional well-being. And it's free! 

Some of the distinct benefits of a daily dose of gratitude include:

• Increased joy in the simple things in life.
• Ability to recover quickly from life's setbacks and disappointments.
• Improved relationships - people prefer to be around people who are grateful.
• Greater physical stamina and energy.
• Increased happiness and acceptance.
• Stronger, healthier immune system.

Here's a Blessing for today:

Morning Prayer

Infinite God, of life, goodness, and generous
love, I dedicate my heart, my life, to you.
Help me to cherish all human life,
and do the good you want me to do.
Make me a loving example of your generous love,
and a blessing to everyone I see.
May your goodness be fully in us, and in all that we
think, and say and do.

Peace and Blessings!

When bad things happen and we experience a financial loss or hardship,  it's not unusual to want to place the blame on something or someone in order to cope with our feelings.  Anger and blame can be a way of feeling in control, but in actuality, it really only leaves us feeling powerless.

Some people lately are also blaming themselves for their financial challenges, thinking "if only I had done this" or, "I can't believe I did that" or, "what was I thinking?!!" This kind of blame only fuels our fear, anger and resentment and deepens the negative charge we have around the problem.

So, how do we release the harmful feelings and negativity around our financial circumstances?  

Forgiveness is a great tool for releasing negative thought and feelings which can be toxic and counter-productive. We are all looking for peace; peace of mind, body and spirit, right? In order to find it, it is very important to examine what our own responsibility is in the situation and to own our role in it. Once we have forgiven ourselves, it is easier to move forward to forgive others who have hurt or harmed us. 

Beliefnet contributor Joan Borysenko says that forgiveness helps us to create more empowerment, spaciousness and willingness to look at a larger point of view. Another reason to forgive is that it's good for you! According to author and forgiveness expert Fred Luskin, there is now scientific evidence that that  forgiveness can reduce anger, depression and stress, which ultimately will improve your physical and emotional health. 

 
Here are some key points to keep in mind when working through your forgiveness process.

1. Forgiveness is first and foremost for you. It is about taking back your power so that you can see and receive the good around you.

2. Forgiveness allows you to shift your perspective on what is happening. Recognize that your primary distress is coming from the hurt feelings and thoughts that are plaguing you, not what offended or hurt you ten minutes -- or ten years -- ago. Whether you are experiencing the loss of a job, your home or retirement savings, this loss is the real issue, not who did it to you. Grieving a loss is an important process in and of itself, but forgiveness is the first step. Anger often denies us access to the pain of loss. Forgiveness will help you clear the anger and resentment so that you can begin to feel the loss.

3. Forgiveness does not mean that you have to make amends with the person. They don't even have to know because it's not about them. Forgiveness offers you the opportunity to be at peace with the situation. This can be as simple as forgiving the investment company who managed your 401K, or Wall Street, or your mortgage broker. Make a list and forgive them so that you can be free of this energetically and emotionally.

4. Remember forgiveness is a process. It's not always easy and it takes time to heal. Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to go through your own process. I recommend writing a forgiveness letter to get your feelings on paper. Through writing, you can express your feelings openly either directly to the person or even to yourself. You do not have to give the letter to the person you are forgiving, it is your own process for letting go and creating your "forgiveness story."

Ultimately, forgiveness is a step towards greater spiritual and emotional expansion. It allows you to create the space for letting go of negativie thoughts and feelings so that you can be free of the past and move forward to create the next chapter of your life.

Here's a wonderful prayer to assist you with this forgiveness process:

Dear God,

Please help me to release all judgements, resentments, mistakes and pain of the past. I no longer wish to be bound by these limitations. Help me to release the past and all its hurt so that I may once again live in peace and experience new possibilities and joy. I forgive myself and all others that may have caused me any harm. I surrender these things completely so that I may create a successful, abundant and prosperous life.

I surrender the past in order to make room to fully receive this moment and the future you desire for me. I offer my life as a clean slate into your hands. I choose to be free. Thank you for this day and this opportunity to begin again the blessing of this one great life which I willingly and gratefully receive. And so it is. Amen. 

~ Deborah Price 

Peace & Blessings!

Sometimes we experience what appears to be a great loss or setback only to discover that the loss was in fact a blessing in disguise. That as one door closed, another door opened. Although, I know that when we're in the middle of it, it's often hard to see.

It's easy to be so focused on the losses and setbacks that we forget to look for the opportunities and blessings that may be waiting for us. Because the truth is, everything we lose creates an opening for something new to come into our lives. We must always remain open and receptive to receiving the good that is available to us...even in the middle of the seeming storm that surrounds us.

Looking back, I have experienced many losses that I now have immense gratitude for. In hindsight, whatever pain or loss I may have suffered was small compared to the blessings and opportunities that followed.

So, while it may be difficult, sometimes the only thing we can do is to surrender to what is happening, bless the experience and pray to stay open to receiving our higher good. God never takes something away from us without also offering us something in it's place. Today, I ask you to consider being grateful for this time in your life as an opportunity to receive some new blessing or opportunity, whether that is.

Whether it is the opportunity to explore some new horizon, the chance to dust off your dreams, build a new life, or the opportunity to grow into more of who you are or always wanted to be. Sometimes, when life hands us lemons, we are simply being guided to the lemonade stand.

Read Beliefnet's Rabbi Brad Hirshfield's 8 Ways to Stay Grateful in Hard Times.

Today's blessing is taken from the wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson:

Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
