I've been listening to the Paraliminal, reading the book and listening to the audio book for around a month. I spend at least 5 to 15 minutes a day thinking of things I am grateful for.
I don't really have a problem thinking of things to be grateful for or writing them down. The issue is that just thinking or writing about them isn't always enough to make me feel very grateful. Often, I feel spontaneously grateful, but grateful on purpose doesn't always work for me. I am hoping you are correct that with time and patience I will improve. It seems the better I feel to begin with, the easier it is.
I agree that the body generally "mirrors" what's going on in the mind, but it's a two way street. The way you move your body, breath, the facial expressions, etc, strongly influence your mind. For instance many types of meditation and trace techniques, have you breath deeply, and relax your body, because it helps to calm your mind. If you purposely act in an angry way for a period of time you'll likely start to feel angry and start thinking of things to be angry about.
I am grateful you responded to my message. You did give me somethings to think about. Thank you.
