Benefit of Feeling More Gratitude ~ Good Digestion

If you're like many health-conscious people, you pay a lot of attention to what you eat. But even the highest quality foods won't necessarily help you build health if you don't digest them well. Try to eat with a feeling of gratitude. Conscious eating will enhance your body's ability to assimilate nutrition: the vitamins, minerals, and life force of your food.

Gratitude is much more than a "feel good" emotion. Gratitude is a genuine soul-felt appreciation for being personally involved with life. The more gratitude we feel, the more optimism, relaxation, and overall happiness we experience. That's because focusing on gratitude shifts our attention away from stress and worry and has us look at the bright side of things. Concentrating on things we are grateful for moves us beyond conflict and drama, where we can focus on what is most important to us. Gratitude is not about being loving and happy only when life is ideal. Gratitude is an awareness that while things may not always be perfect, life is still filled with wonder and beauty.

Intensify gratitude by paying attention to the small everyday details of life. If you want to increase the enjoyment of your overall life, then enjoy the small details everywhere. Take a step out of the day-to-day noise, confusion, and stress, and deliberately do things that you love. Instead of blindly walking through your day, activate your senses as you feel the sun on your skin, smell the bright red roses, look deeply into the eyes of a kindred soul, and let your heart smile as children giggle past you on the street. Paying attention to the small details enables you to expand your awe of life. Focus on the activities that bring joy to your heart.

Before long, your life will become a beautiful expression of gratitude, and your digestion will enhance all aspects of your health, and maybe even your wealth!
