5 Magic Mind Switches For Attracting All Your Desires (Part 2)

by Mark Duin

Try this second magic mind switch to instantly increase your enjoyment of life.

The Second Magic Mind Switch - "Gratitude Produces an Optimal Attitude".

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
Melody Beattie - Author

It is only when we become envious of what we don't have that we become unhappy. We often fail to realize that the majority of people in the world live from birth to death in abject poverty. These masses often live without the basic food, clothing, housing, education, and transportation we take for granted. Even the poorest among the industrialized countries are wealthy in comparison.

It's important for our well-being and happiness to be thankful for what we do have. In gratitude our lives are at peace, without it we become dissatisfied even with abundance all around us.

Turn on the second switch by writing a list of everything you have to be grateful for and continue to add to it as you think of new things.

Your list can include food, clothing, protection, sun shine, rain, eyes to see, ears to hear, knowledge, experience, health, family, home, job, car, indoor plumbing, toilet paper, and so on. Write down anything you wouldn't care to be without, everything you can think of. Never focus on what others have that you don't, it serves no good purpose. Your goal is to focus on what you do have no matter how much or how little for now.

When you think you're done review your list. Size doesn't matter because you'll be adding to it over the next week.

As you review your list remember to think of all the people around the world that have less than you do. Think of the starving and homeless, the terminally ill, those ruled by dictators, without freedom of choice or will. Think of the majority of human kind in China, Africa, and India, often without basic necessities. Be thankful you are not one of the majority of human beings living from birth to death trapped in terrible circumstances.

Look at your list of things to be grateful for and give thanks for what you've been blessed with. See how it changes your outlook.

Continue to add to the list throughout the week as you begin to find more things to be grateful for. Sense how this switch makes you feel. How does it change your perspective on life?

When you combine this powerful mind switch of gratitude with the first mind switch of cleaning out mental clutter, you begin to transform yourself and your life into something wonderful!

Remember to use these first 2 magic mind switches daily to enjoy attracting positive opportunities into your life. Just these first 2 switches, practiced daily, will make a huge positive change in your life!
