Have you noticed how everyone seems to be on the gratitude band wagon these days?

Perhaps you’ve even started a Gratitude Journal or go to bed saying what you are grateful for. But, do you know the reason behind being grateful? Below I have listed three reasons why the law of attraction is so responsive to your gratitude and how that supercharges your manifestations.

The Tradition of Thank You Notes

Reason #3- When I was a girl, my parents insisted I write thank-you notes when I received gifts from my elderly relatives. I was told that, if I didn’t thank them, they would stop sending me gifts. As a child I learned that my thank you note ensured that my relative knew how much I enjoyed the gift and made it more likely that I would be gifted again! As an adult, I thank the Universe for all the gifts I receive. This is a way of saying “Yes! I like this and will be happy to have more gifts of this type. Thanks for noticing what I enjoy.” When it comes to expressing gratitude, whether to a friend, an auntie or the Universe, it is important to let the giver know that you appreciated it.

Have you ever noticed that when professional athletes make a point or a goal that they celebrate that goal in the moment? Whether it is the dance in the end zone of a football game, or a fist pump or “come on” in a tennis match, athletes know how important it is to keep up their energy by focusing on their success. People who play games for a living know how to celebrate.

If you are like a lot of people, you don’t often spend much time recognizing yourself for your successes. You probably recognize that you have accomplished your goal, to some degree. Perhaps you also do some of these things:
* Criticize yourself for taking too long
* Tell yourself you didn’t do it well enough
* Immediately start working on your next goal

This is a problem because the feeling of success is so important for creating happiness. When you take the time to pat yourself on the back, you build up your own self-esteem and your sense of self-worth. You also spend time basking in the feeling of joy that comes from the success. You may have been taught that it is wrong to “blow your own horn” and have mistakenly believed that to mean that you shouldn’t talk about your accomplishments. Maybe you worry that others will think you are boastful.
