Power of Acceptance and Gratitude

My Yoga Online has posted a great new article by Vijai Sharma, The Power of Acceptance and Gratitude. This wellness article brings perspective into the benefits of choosing positive thoughts and actions. Vijai also offers a Yoga Heart and Breathing exercise which can bring positive emotions in focus and hopefully also help you to calm your heart and breathing.

Power of GratitudeAcceptance, appreciation and gratitude for whatever lies around us, comes our way, “falls” upon us or even thrust upon us, connects us to the divine in us. They strengthen our faith, kindle hope and augment our own ability to deal with whatever it is. Feeling bad, angry or upset shrinks us and weakens our ability to act upon what needs to be dealt with without wasting a moment.

The misguided believe that anger makes them strong and invincible and prepares them to fight. For them acceptance is nothing more than surrender. Gratitude is for people who underestimate themselves or people who feel they are undeserving. They, unfortunately, do not fully tap into the resources they have and into many more powers they can generate which they are missing in their lives.
