All of those things you mentioned sound wonderful. My question is do you always feel grateful when journaling about the things your are grateful for? Sometimes I think of things I am grateful for but don't really feel grateful in that moment. It seems that if I'm not in a very resourceful state to begin with, the grateful feelings may not come at all, or are weak. To me feeling the gratitude is key.
I suppose practicing forgiveness, releasing, and some type of energy work first might help to move me to a place where I can practice feeling gratitude more successfully.
As far as posture,I'm not referring to a prayer, meditation or martial arts stance. If you think of two situations one where you were feeling happy and grateful and another where you feel angry hurt, etc... Are you breathing in the same way (slow/fast) (deep/Shallow) in both? Is your body more tense in one state compared to the other. If you're speaking out loud or in your mind do you say the same sort of things in the same tone of voice? Is what you're feeling in your body the same? Do you relate to people in the same way? If you looked at
pictures of yourself in these situations would the expressions on your face be similar?
These are the thing I was writing about. Thanks for responding/
