Wedding Vows–Commandment #5: Say “Thank You” and “I Love You” Every Day
Written by Linda on April 9th, 2009Every day find a way to show appreciation to people you love. When writing your personal wedding or commitment vows find a way to add this or something like it into your vows: “I will remember to tell you ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’ every day and not take for granted the little things you do to make life easier and happier.”
Not only show appreciation to your partner and your children, if you have any, but to other people who give you service.
This includes clerks, salespeople, wait staff, people who hold doors open, people who let you in traffic, a co-worker who goes out of his or her way to be helpful, etc.
“Thank you,” is Universal currency that pays BIG dividends.
There is a psychological and a metaphysical reason for this.
As you practice saying ‘thank you’ and ‘I love you’ the feelings of pleasure are like a drug that takes over your life. You want to experience more.
You begin to look for ways to be helpful and supportive and thankful for no reason at all.
You recognize when other people are kind, helpful and supportive.
This means that you are creating vibrations and situations that continue to reinforce your thoughts, beliefs and actions.
The more you take conscious actions, the more you put in Universal Mind, the message that you want more and more experiences both in giving and receiving.
Here is an affirmation I have used for years. “Everywhere I go people are kind and want to be helpful.”
When you continually use affirmations like this you become your affirmation. You become helpful, thoughtful, kind and live from a position of service.
You boost your level of livingness, your physical energy for life, each other and yourself.
Giving and receiving love, well-being, and happiness creates more of it’s own.
As my mother used to say, “Like finds like.”
