Appreciation Vs Gratitude
Appreciation Vs Gratitude:
Hello 3 Basics Group! I've been doing some shifting and thinking as of late. 2 weeks ago I watched the below video and after viewing it some things seemed to click. I don't mind the word Gratitude, but quite often, when I would say I was Grateful, it felt forced and my heart would clench (perhaps it is some residual "struggle" residue). This would happen especially when I was out of sync and reaching for feelings of joy and happiness. But when I say I appreciate something it seems to flow from my heart and I smile no matter my mind state. I've spent the last few weeks using the word "appreciate" instead of "grateful" and I've noticed a real difference in my heart. I also notice a difference when I say to people "I really appreciate when you do this or that or I really appreciate you for these reasons" opposed to "I am grateful when you do this or that or I am grateful for you for these reasons". The people seem to respond better to the word "appreciate". In fact, try it and see the difference in both you and the people around you.
With that being said, I've been thinking of changing the group name to The 3 Basics Group Appreciation-Affirmation-Intent. This is important stuff we are working on... Happiness and Joy is what truly matters in our lives so Please watch the video and let me know your thoughts!

Interesting that this was my Abraham Hicks quote of the day (the day after I posed this question).
When you feel gratitude, often you are looking at a difficulty that you have overcome, but there is still some of that "struggle" vibration present. The state of appreciation is seeing whatever you are looking at through the eyes of Source. . . You could walk down a crowded street with all kinds of things that a lot of other people would find reason to criticize or worry about, and you would not have access to them because your vibration of appreciation is picking out for you things of a different vibrational nature.
