Generally, I think of tiny things. The good meal I had, the smile of my colleague, or of this person in the street, the me- moment I had for myself on my way to work and back home, the moment I came back home and sat on my bed, or even just what I learned today. If we have to live that kind of days, then it is crucial to find little things : as a whole, they make a great change!
I find many things to be grateful, I give me this moment to thanks a lot of things around me and this give me a good feeling about the day, I’m so happy to many things and do things I like it. I’m feeling very happy and grateful about my self
Gratefulness it is the harder routine for me. After a tough day finding the motivation to do so, it is not easy at all. I realised that it is just important to press the button of the app here, it is important to show up. With calm music, I close my eyes, and I focus on the moment. When I close my eyes, thoughts start racing in my mind, but out loud, I remember to remind my self the good things. The important thing it’s to show up.
Eu sou uma pessoa negativa, apesar de estar a lutar para mudar isso na minha vida, portanto facilmente me vou a baixo depois de um dia dificil. Contudo, tento pensar que um dia dificil é apenas isso, um dia dificil, e que não significa que toda a vida seja má. É apenas um mau dia, como também temos dias bons assim haverá dias menos bons. E como a vida é boa, independentemente de haver dias bons e maus, há sempre o que agradecer no fim do dia! E é nisso que me baseio
You can’t let the one bad thing that happened affect you all day. Look around you so many things that you find to be grateful about. Tomorrow is a new day. Think about it!
I start slowly, and I reflect on the smallest things to be genuinely grateful for. It gives me the opportunity to build and remember the bigger things that make me feel appreciative. The gratitude tends to snowball from start to finish.
I would be grateful for making through the day period. I am always grateful for guidance, knowledge and love. There are always things to be grateful for.
I usually set aside some quiet time before going to bed to reflect on my day, finding any moments that I felt at peace. Those are usually the moments I am most grateful for.
This is such a great question because being grateful is the single best thing for making me feel better on a terrible day. I go for really small things, especially sensory things, that are right here, right now. Then I think about what it would be like if they weren’t here. No guilt, it just puts things in perspective. Not the big stuff like your family or house, that’s too typical. Like, “wow, my bedsheets are really soft and warm right now” or “I love how excited my dog gets when I come home, they love me so much” or even “I’m glad I have an umbrella to shelter me from the rain today because man it is gross out here.” Whatever is right in your face. Eating McDonalds? Awesome, consider how good it tastes or how warm and filling it is. (We like it for a reason.) I promise you, sit there until you find literally anything that makes things a little more okay, and it will help.
Tough days will happen again, there’s no doubt. Let’s imagine the worst day possible, a death, a huge loss, unbearable shame. it helps to notice the many little things that work to keep all of us alive. Your body is currently pumping oxygen rich cells around every inch of you regardless of whatever happened. Focusing on the beauty and complexity of it helps me. How lucky are we to not have to worry about food or war. How lucky we can connect so easily without meeting. How grateful we have the time and tools to reflect on our condition. Tough days are inevitable, reach out to someone, a stranger or a close person. You’re so lucky to live at a time when most people around us will offer a helping hand and not the sword.
