The two highest vibrations you can feel are love and gratitude. Expressing love and gratitude towards others will raise their vibration, which will have a ripple effect on everyone else around them. In my article, Kindness is Contagious, I once single-handedly changed the entire energy of an irate group of customers in a Trader Joe's. It was amazing to see the ripples occur.
So I was thinking about this the other day because people send me emails all the time expressing love and gratitude to me for the work I do, the articles I write, or the readings I've given them. And it occurred to me that the power of love and gratitude is so awesome that we really should get in the habit of expressing love and gratitude to the people in our lives as much as possible. I want to make this a habit. So I've decided to do a 30-Day Love and Gratitude Trial, and I'd love for you to join me.
For the next 30 days we're going to express love and/or gratitude to one person each day. The medium doesn't matter. You could do it by phone, in person, email, text, body language, morse code, or even smoke signals. The trick is you must do it consciously and sincerely.
If you'd like, you can make a list of 30 people you're going to do this with, or you can just decide each morning. Think about how this person contributes to your life and how much you love them. Then communicate that love, appreciation, gratitude, and affection to them directly. If you can't think of 30 people, it's okay to duplicate people along the way, but I think you can find 30 people in the world who deserve your love and gratitude. Besides the usual suspects (family, friends, co-workers) you could include bloggers, authors, your masseuse, your postal worker, the lady at the grocery store that you see week after week, your spirit guides, angels, higher self, God. You could even send a note to yourself!
It doesn't have to take long. You could write a short one-line email, or a simple text. Or you could craft an entire letter to them. Whatever moves you. Just really give some thought to how this person affects your life positively and thank them for it. You will be utterly amazed at what happens to you for sending it and what happens to them when they receive it.
On August 31, I'll check in with you to see how you did and what you learned. And I'll post some of the stories, so please feel free to submit them to me using my contact form.
Are you ready to have a ripple effect? Are you ready to put positive energy into the lives of others? Are you in?
