When I work in the studio, gratitude is an integral part of the process. I am grateful for the time and opportunity to create, for the joy and energy that come with the creative process, and for the constant flow of inspiration. You can say that gratitude is deeply rooted in the creative process, beyond the studio to the process of creating my life.
As my life unfolds, I find myself filled with gratitude. I witness the presence of moments that spark ideas and clarify next steps. I am grateful for the beauty of synchronicities that ignite my sense of wonder and provide me with greater trust and assurance that I’m moving in the right direction on my path.
And there is the power of expressing gratitude in advance for something that does not yet exist. I have discovered that giving thanks beforehand, with energy, enthusiasm, and excitement, becomes an incredible mindset tool. Creating a daily routine of gratitude, infused with the energy of positive emotions, is a highly supportive step towards bringing you closer to what you wish to create in your life. Here are some benefits of taking this step:
Increases confidence in the ability to create what you want.
Enables a greater sense of positivity throughout the creative process
Fosters greater optimism
Helps to override negative self talk
Increases a sense of trust that everything will unfold for the best
Makes it easier to face and overcome roadblocks
Strengthens belief in yourself and in the process

Heightens awareness of the many supportive gifts that seem to magically appear along the way.
By expressing gratitude in advance, we tap into the power to shape our mindset. It plays a supportive role in the creation of what our soul desires and can be quite transformational in paving the way for greater fulfillment in life.
