Express yourself with Gratitude Jewelry

By Deanna Collins

When you change your perception of your life, the world looks different. Optimism and pessimism are two sides of the same coin. Challenges, whether big or little, are given the proper perspective when you learn to be grateful for what you have already. You realize how truly rich your life already is.

There are many ways to express gratitude. A journal is perhaps the most common method and is a great start, but gratitude jewelry is a fantastic way to take what is a once a day gratitude routine and make it part of every moment.

What is Gratitude Jewelry?

Jewelry is made from beads, crystals, gemstones, and even precious metals. These materials carry with them the ability to invite positive energy into your life.

Jewelry can be symbolic in the life of a gracious person. Each time you wear the piece of gratitude jewelry, you remember what it means to you and your attitude changes.

Gratitude jewelry is a good way to build a gracious life. Every time you wear the jewelry you are reminded of what it symbolizes for you. Journaling does the same thing, but the task can turn into a chore if you let it. Because it is something you have "to do" missing it can create unnecessary stress which takes away from feeling grateful. An attitude of gratitude is not just something you do. Putting on a piece of jewelry is not a strenuous task but it speaks volumes to you and to others.

Which Piece of Gratitude Jewelry: Earrings, Necklace, or Bracelet?

How do you choose the type of gratitude jewelry to wear? Consider where you'd like to focus your attention and what area of your body feels the most powerful. Many women love to feel earrings dangling. They're proud of their necks or hair and earrings just make them feel good.

Bracelets draw attention to themselves. They are shiny and make a lovely sound as they move along your wrist. The sound and the beauty of them is a constant reminder of your commitment to being gracious everyday.

Necklaces have always been a favorite adornment for hundreds of centuries. The metal or beads draw attention to the length and beauty of the neck. It makes a woman feel powerful and in control of her being.

To enhance your gratitude power, wear a matching set. You can dress yourself in all three pieces of jewelry or just two. Some days you might need extra reminders of the gratitude in your hear and wearing all three will strengthen you for the challenges to come.

What works best for you? Play to your strengths when expressing gratitude with jewelry. Just the act of wearing it can change your life in a positive and powerful way. Life is to be celebrated and enjoyed at each moment. To keep yourself inspired, invest in gratitude jewelry to live in the abundance of graciousness.
