"The daily practice of gratitude is one of the conduits by which your wealth will come to you."
-Wallace Wattles
I often struggle with getting caught up in my daydreams, always believing the future is going to be better than the present somehow. If you, like me, find yourself perpetually stuck in the future, again, just like in Exercise #5, use it to your advantage and go ahead and be thankful for those things that you're wishing for as if they're right there in front of you. Don't be surprised if they actually start showing up as a result of this practice!
On the contrary, if you're worrying about some potential calamity, a great way to bring yourself back to the present moment is to be thankful that it hasn't happened, that so far it's only in your mind, and that you can always re-direct your mind to something else.
“When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.”
-Anthony Robbins
Many people are slaves to "future thinking." Is this something you struggle with? Or have you found a way to overcome it, perhaps with the "thanking in advance" technique? Let me know!
