But I soon realised that it was easier said than done.

Brown-stuff hitting the proverbial fan would derail me and within seconds I would be stuck, back on that spiral of negative thinking.

So I researched and read and experimented and made mistakes and refined techniques and meditated and put on my NLP Trainer hat - and consulted with my Inner Engineer - and finally I had the breakthrough I had been craving, after years of hard work, it all fell into place.

And then I started teaching the process - to mentoring clients initially, and then in worldwide live training sessions and workshops. And my students were able to get the same results that I did.

Even after the first week of the Getting Started With Gratitude programme, people just like you have told me that they:

• Feel less stressed
• Feel less emotionally volatile
• Can etter handle the ups and downs of daily life
• Feel more grounded and at peace
• Feel happier and more contented
• Are able to see the brighter side of life, where it would previously have felt like someone had turned the lights out
• Smile, for no reason!

Why was it working so well?

And a message from the world of engineer-approved woo-woo:

I love teaching energy-work to those of us who are traditionally more left-brained, as I was. It's so exciting to see the lightbulbs going on, when rational thinkers open up to the energy-level sensory information that is available to us, and deep-dive on learning to trust their intuition. One of the things they quickly learn is how easily you can 'sense' whether someone is thinking happy thoughts or sad / angry thoughts, even if you have your eyes closed.

Why? Because our thoughts have an energy. Scientists are now able to measure the electromagnetic field from the human heart, for example, a number of metres away from the body. And, with experienced meditators and yogis, they can measure shifts in its frequency, as a result of their daily practice.

Changing your thoughts affects each and every cell in your body, as research summarised beautifully by Dr. Bruce Lipton in his book Biology Of Belief proves. Changing your thoughts shifts your vibration - the energetic 'radio frequency' on which you operate.

And this vibration - this frequency - is magnetising. You attract that which you put out there. Have you ever noticed how an angry person is like a beacon for people who want a fight, for example?

Our thoughts create our reality.

Whilst we might not always be able to choose or control our circumstances, we can always choose how to respond. And that response is governed by the tone of the stories we tell ourselves, day-to-day.

If those habitual mind-stories are all about woe and worry, then our response to life will be in that theme. If we retrain ourselves so that our habitual mind-stories are more about what is good and what we feel thankful for, then that will create a positive shift in our response to life's brown-stuff.

These realisations were breakthroughs for me. And I felt passionate about inspiring and empowering as many people as possible to dive in and make gratitude part of their way of life.

But, as an NLP Trainer (the 'user manual' for your brain), I knew that having the idea to start a gratitude practice was one thing; turning it into reality was quite another. As I discuss in my book 28 Day Meditation Challenge:

Inspiration gives you the idea;
Motivation gets you started;
But it's routine and habit that create the change.

I needed to create a training that enabled people not just to learn the how-to for their attitude of gratitude, but also to create that life-long habit, including clearing out any gratitude blocks or hidden excuses, that might derail their gratitude train.

And that's what I did. I knew how to break the process down into bite-sized chunks, making it super-easy, yet highly effective, helping people to create breakthroughs, even before they had finished our session together. I ran trainings. I led workshops. I gave talks. I even wrote a best-selling book on it, A Year Full Of Gratitude, which is a brilliant place to start, and helps you to make tangible progress, fast.

But to help people to dive in more deeply​, keeping them motivated, I knew that videos and exercises would bring the techniques to life, and that the accountability and support of a Tribe would make the vital difference - and transform their experience of gratitude.

And I've got some gorgeous GRATITUDE bonuses for you:

• Get instant access to my $47 Masterclass on How To Harness The Power Of Your Thoughts To Consciously Create Your Life
• And if you join us today, before Thanksgiving, you will get to join me on a Gratitude-themed live group mentoring call, where you can get answers to your gratitude questions and celebrate your successes

Try this course out for yourself, at zero risk. Go through the videos and exercises and if, once you've done the 21 days, your heart tells you it hasn't helped you, let my team know (reply to any of the emails) and we'll give you a full refund.

BUT it's not a 'brown banana' guarantee! You wouldn't take a banana back to the store because you forgot to eat it / changed your mind, would you? The same goes for this programme. All I ask is that you genuinely give it a go, before deciding how it has helped you.

I reckon that's fair, don't you? x Clare ​
