Count Your Blessings
In an old movie with Bing Crosby he sings a song in which the words give sage advice about falling to sleep. They are “When you’re worried and cannot sleep just count your blessings instead of sheep, and you’ll fall asleep, counting your blessings.”
Counting your blessings, acknowledging and appreciating all that you already have in your life is a powerful technique that works not only as an antidote to worry but also as a way to let yourself relax into the peace and release of sleep.
When you’re worried and cannot sleep just count your blessings instead of sheep, and you’ll fall asleep, counting your blessings. – Bing Crosby
By focusing your attention on your blessings, gratitude and appreciation naturally emerge. By noticing what is right in your life instead of worrying about what could go wrong in your life you are not only shifting your energy in ways that can help you relax and ease yourself into sleep, but you are also applying the principles of “energy follows thought” that in are in keeping with the Law of Abundance as discussed elsewhere on my site and in the book by Esther and Jerry Hicks “Ask and It Shall Be Given.”
By doing this you are energetically drawing to yourself, more of the blessings you appreciate and can be grateful for. As you acknowledge and appreciate the many blessings you have been given, you are given more. Gratitude and appreciation act as a magnet to attract that which you enjoy and desire.
To turn the valuable time before you fade into sleep to an expression of gratitude and magnet for the increase of what you most enjoy and appreciate is a powerful technique. The act of appreciation increases your sense of both joy and wellbeing. It is a way to end the day well.
Focusing upon the positive by counting your blessings, or using positive affirmations in the fertile time before you fall asleep is an invitation to both your subconscious mind and your preconscious mind to use your dreams as a way to show you insights, solutions and new creative ideas.
~ Genevieve Gerard
The use of positive affirmations prior to falling asleep is a technique I recommend in my audio instruction “How to Use Affirmations Effectively” which is available as one track of my Awaken To Success or Soaring To Success Affirmations For Abundance CDs or for free as a MP3 download on my website when you join our community at https://genevievegerard.com/keep-in-touch. So if you want to unleash the potential in your supra conscious mind check this out.
Harnessing the power of your mind in the fertile period before you sleep unlocks your potential in a different way. Counting your blessings, appreciating what is good in your life, focusing on the positive, what you have now instead of worrying about what you fear or might need in the future, creates a space for more blessings to come to you. It opens the door for the free flow of abundance to come to you without effort.
It also calms your mind and emotions and helps your body relax. It seems a good way to end the day and a good way to enter into sleep. When you end your day affirming your blessings, you are positive, hopeful and happier.
This simple little technique works on so many subtle energetic levels that need not be explained or explored in this blog. If you wish more information on how this works, or why this works I have multiple posts on how “Energy Follows Thought.” Also “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen is one of many books that others have written on these dramatic life changing principles. To receive a complimentary free Adobe Acrobat pdf copy of “As a Man Thinketh” email us at CustomerCare (at) GenevieveGerard.com.
Of course for any truth to be important it must be your truth, so I recommend that you give this little technique of counting your blessings before you fall asleep a try. Try it and then observe how your life is impacted. This is simple and actually easy. As you think of your blessings before sleep you might find your list of blessings multiplying and your awareness of how blessed you really are growing, not only in your time before sleep but throughout the following day and throughout your life.
Gratitude feels so good because it is the state of mind closest to your natural state in which you were born to live. ~ Abraham-Hicks
Sweet Dreams and may your blessings continue to multiply.
With blessings and gratitude,
Genevieve
