The Value of Appreciation
This is true of your relationships, a flower, money or anything in your life. Appreciation is nourishment for the soul and a high motivator to produce extraordinary results.
What you don’t appreciate, diminishes. What you appreciate flourishes. This is why love, as a lifestyle, is so important. Love is a cumulative thing and therefore, forgetfulness or clumsiness results in its depreciation. Your every act, every thought, every consideration should show appreciation. Appreciation is also the true art of romance.
Appreciating nature also means to appreciate your own nature, your body. Many see the body like a machine that just needs to be kept well-oiled for work and play. If you were to really appreciate your body as the living and vibrant base of your existence here in this 3-D illusion, you would make sure to keep it healthly, allow time to replenish its vital force on a daily basis and most importantly, appreciate it.
It has been my experience that as I express appreciation with people I interact with on a regular basis, I seem to receive much better service and attention. The more grateful and appreciative I am to all the people I encounter, the more it comes back to me and the better I feel.
The person you express appreciation to is not the only beneficiary. You may find that expressing appreciation will brighten your attitude, increase your vibration, and quite possibly, reduce stress. The more you express appreciation, the fewer challenges you may have and the better you may feel.
The flip side of expressing appreciation is learning how to accept a compliment. How you accept a compliment is another form of expressing appreciation. Your acceptance of a compliment is directly related to how you feel about yourself; your self esteem. I often observe people minimizing or dismissing a sincere compliment. Why is this? Are they afraid of success? Do you they think that they don’t deserve the recognition?
Many are afraid of appearing arrogant, and so when they are given a compliment or shown some appreciation, they dismiss it as if to appear humble. However, what happens most often is it diminishes the intent of the person giving the compliment. At first many dismiss compliments with some quip or comment, spoiling the intent of the compliment. I believe that the most appropriate response to any compliment or any expression of appreciation is to simply say, “Thank you.”
Practice Appreciation. You’ve heard it all your life – Count your Blessings. Appreciate what you already have and watch it multiply before your eyes. What is this phenomenon? Why does this occur? Well, it has to do with the fact that you’re a broadcasting station sending out a signal that is answered in kind. As you practice directing the high frequency energy of Appreciation, by the Law of Attraction, even more fantastic people and things will appear in your life. As appreciation becomes your dominant vibration, you’ll spend less time in the lower states of energy, and you’ll stop settling for less than you desire.
