How do you constantly stay greatful?

Jake S.
I write in my journal for a few minutes all the things I’m grateful for, if I don’t have my journal I say out loud 3 things I’m grateful for.
Clara C.
Every morning when I wake up and writing down what I am grateful are small things. One of them is that I woke up! Just think about small things and remember that not all of people have the things that you consider normal or regular
Allison F.
Reading positive affirmations every day! Starting out my morning with positive and then throughout my day realizing how many blessing surround me and everyone! Being a light for others to see and not trying to change anyone, but only changing myself for the better! Love pure positive love pours from me because that’s who I truly am!
Melissa J.
Interesting question for me, i am also struggling with being grateful right now

But one thing I tried, is just to simply say thank you the momen you wake up, even when you just feel like disappearing from this world

Sean Z.
I try to be grateful most of the time because that way I can visualize the balance between “good & bad” happening in my life 🙂
Irma T.
If one day I feel unhappy, I remember that this life is mine and that my time never comes back. And I think about the things I have. I have these and I must love them. And I am grateful for everything I have.
Obianuju H.
I remember how lucky I am that I have a family that loves me, a personality that I love, and I feel confident that I deserve to be here

You know, when you practice it you choose to concentrate your mind to think positive and feel positive more and more time per day. You have choice when you want to be happy , like always from now or just waiting when it comes by itself.
Choose it every time when think to be or not be greatful today.
Start from one thing per day. It's almost doesn't take time.
I usually write at least 10 things.
I forse my brain to make it hard for build more positive mind. From beginning forse but later it works by itself.
Try to do it with your evening routine and make u annoyed if u wouldn't do this. Like 1000 alarms and etc.
Love you please out =D
Tracey Q.
Gest think like ne,if someone see you unhappy that person can be happy fir what you aren't happy but wen you are happy that person will be unhappy
Neave O.
I constantly stay grateful for many reasons. I sit or lay down at the end of the day and think about the people who are always there and always look out for me and i appreciate them. Sometimes it’s the little things people do that make me grateful to have them in my life but that’s ok and sometimes you might not be grateful for someone being in your life and that’s ok as well. You just really have to think and appreciate who you loved and cared about that day and that will tell you who you’re grateful for. The key to it all is the people not the things. i
Janee N.
Honestly, I don't but having the reminder on here set as a wake up and bedtime routine it makes it a lot easier to constantly think of all the things big or small that make you happy. Reflecting on it and writing it down everyday puts it in your mind constantly building a habit of staying grateful
Milena J.
By enjoying the little things in life I guess. The cozy bed in the morning, a hot cup of coffee, music and looking at the stars, being grateful for all these small things and enjoying them is a great way to stay grateful
Trinity X.
I will say, you just need to see the glass half full. J ok am a more positive person, but I will say, you just have to think, I am thankful for this because…, so let’s say it’s freezing outside. Think if it as, I am thankful that I have my coat to keep me warm, rather than saying, I’M FREEZING THIS STINKS!!!
It’s just a matter of thinking things that you do a lot. I am thankful for the ability to have an education. I am thankful that I have a house to keep my warm and protects me. I am thankful for my awesome friends and family. I am thankful for food (especially that I enjoy), I am thankful for water, etc.
Екатерина Андреева N.
Oh I’m not, actually.

Recently a started to feel this anger in me, negativity that is sometimes coming out and unfortunately sometimes I can say something bad, something hurtful and after saying that I will regret it.
I will think “Why would I say that?” or “I didn’t really need to say that, but I still did, like why and what’s the point?”
I’ll feel bad.

But those feelings, this regret, it’s reminding me that there’s a lot of things I should be greatful for and people that should appreciate.

I’d like to work on this anger and improve it into my thoughtfulness

Elizabeth S.
I am not constantly grateful 🙂 I have to consistently remind myself of how much I have to be grateful for. A specific gratitude practice is good for this.
何伟伦 N.
I'm not a person who always felt grateful for what I have. But rather I always feel that take things for granted is more like me.
Moment F.
I don’t fake it. I remind myself of things I’m genuinely grateful for, even little things that make me temporarily happy like waffles. And I thank myself for indulging. I thank my family for giving them to me. I thank strangers for the small things they do like hold the door. And it reminds me to focus on some form of happiness each day.
Yasmin Z.
I stay gratefully when I think of my life, friends, family, and more. I am so lucky to have all of those things, because some people don't. I am happy, and healthy.
Vionnette N.
I try to follow all the steps that I planned in the app for myself. I feel better when I follow them.

I am also setting goals to reach put to them. I feel great when I do it! Lot’s of good things are coming my way and I am ready to achieve them.

Clara C.
When I understand that being grateful makes more great things come my way, then it’s easy to make it a priority in my day. I make it happen every day just when i open my eyes and the last thing I do just before I close my eyes. I am very grateful to for all the bad things that happened to me because I understand there’s a purpose for making me better behind all of it. Now I can see that when they see my past, why they went through and how it helped me to become a better person and get better things in life
Jar Z.
I stay grateful everyday by making vows, use visual reminders, saying the good things that can happen, pray, have gratitude conversation and come to my senses.
Jay A.
It started with trying to be aware of any negative thoughts I was havings about myself or other and that led me to see how my judmental behaviour would more often than not be on the side of pessimism (negatives)

So now when I see, feel or think something and I might have a negative outlook out I take a step back say "what is the good that can come from this" or example "I dont like that hair style but it is very creative" & also if the answer does not instantly pop up into your head just take a breather and revist it with a fresh mind, even the most horrendous and tragic events have inspired people to do great things

If you lost everything you have all in one day there is 2 ways to look at it

"Why does this type of thing always happen to me?"

Or

"I'm greatful that I had all of it in my life for as long as I did"

Terra O.
I recently read a post that said If you were to only have those things today that you were grateful for tomorrow, what would you have? I realized that there is so little I'd have. After it I actively try to be xpressive and vocal about gratification for everything big and small.
Lisette U.
I look around me and see what people, things and opportunities make me happy because I have the honor to enjoy them while someone else may not have them.
Sierra N.
I constantly stay grateful by always remembering the little things that bring me pure joy. Then I remember how amazing those things are and it keeps me going.
Jennifer J.
I try to accept what I cannot control or change and think of at least 3 things that I'm grateful for when I get down to upset. I then take responsibility for what is within my control and how I think or speak to myself and others.
Amy G.
Things could be so much worse. Just look at the news. Visit a hospital. I try to cherish each moment and even the 'little' things I have. And I think, as bad as I think it is; someone, somewhere would love to trade with me. So count your blessings. You're not doing as bad as you think.
Veronique F.
Being grateful is not a constant state. It has ups and downs. Sometimes the things you are grateful for are very obvious and come naturally to you. Other times you have to look for them like you look for clues in a detective. It is not about the large minesweeping things. Gratefulness is in even the smallest everyday. You just have to see it.
Carrie P.
Honestly, I’m grateful to be a survivor not a victim.so with that in remembrance of my suffering and pain put my gratitude in check I’m grateful to be breathing today.I was a victim of trafficking and kidnapping so my life might be a little different maybe the same maybe your life was or is more of a different way of life but regardless hurtful things to human life or any life is never okay so again just grateful to wake up to see my life my kiddos my family. Please have a blessed positive day we can do this together.Please love yourself today and always appreciate who you are .Thank you everyone for being here.
Keep positive,Be happy, and stay healthy.Keep honest,Be you, and Stay True.
Capucine O.
I will admit it is difficult at times. When everything seems to be going wrong it’s so much easier to spiral into negative thinking than it is to pick your self up. What really helps me is whenever I’m feeling blissfully happy or so thankful for everything I have I write it down in a notebook. I go back to it then and read it and if I’m able to at all I drag myself out for a walk at sunset with my favourite music and just take a deep breath and let it all out. From then it’s so easy to appreciate what you have and understating that it’s not the end of the world. Often after that deep breath you begin to realise like what was I actually worried about it’s such a silly thing. Something that I heard that helps me is that ‘it’s not use worrying about something twice because it’s already happened and your putting yourself through it twice’
Selena X.
I stay grateful by praying and in the morning I take a deeo breath and write in my journal about ten things I'm grateful for and that keeps me going through out the day.
Akhila X.
I think its important to appreciate every aspect of our life…the fact that I'm alive gives me access to wide amount 9f opportunities & possibilities … For which i can be grateful every moment .
Mohammed O.
Each night I look back on my day and think about everything that had happened that I'm grateful for. I list them all and think about them for a minute.
Emmie Z.
I don’t think I consciously stay grateful constantly.. but I think being reminded in Fabulous to be grateful makes me realise that actually I am !
A F.
By pausing, and thinking of things I didn't have access to before, or how my situation has been worse on other occasions, or simply by thinking of things that I enjoy right now no matter how small
Sam J.
i can't be grateful constantly but I try to focus on the good and not think as much about everything that went wrong. that way I can be positive and grateful most of the time, even if something terrible happens, because I know it could always be worse!
Amira F.
I am just try ti calm,relax see around and think.
After that i know that many thing to be grateful.
Grateful is not a hard thing,its simple and good for us.
Alex Y.
Whenever I write in my journal I try to mention one or two things that I'm grateful for not matter how big or small. I don't write in my journal everyday, but I try to write in it as much as I can.
Thea C.
I don't, it actually this app that is helping me to be grateful, sometimes, i forget to be grateful, because of all the challenges im going through right now
Mailina V.
As a human who has heart, constantly greatful is hard, but greatful is made by our self! This is a good news! We can stay forever greatful by our own choice! So be greatful, when you feel sad or negative mindare coming, just try and try to stay in positif mind and also be greatful!!
Harmony W.
I stay grateful by finding at least one thing to be grateful for. No matter what happens, there’s also something I be grateful for, whether it’s your bed, your clothes, shoes on your feet, or being able to see! There’s always something that you have that someone doesn’t have, so you should be grateful for it! I’ll start you off…”I’m grateful that I have this app”, now you say one!
Ferdinando C.
I remember that I’ve chosen to be here. I remember the pleasures of all the little things. The warmth of the sunlight. The gentle whispers of the winds. The songs of the birds. The ability to work in this body. To share with others. To breathe 🧘🏻‍♂️ To listen 👂🏻 To speak 🗣 to feel 🖐🏼 To think 💭 To smell 👃🏻To taste 👅
Iam Goddessnatty E.
With mindful thinking I consciously see opportunities to be grateful for like the to be better than myself yesterday in the means of getting things done I didn’t yesterday
Sol Ne O.
I think I’m staying grateful because I reminded myself every day to be thankful for what I have. It’s so many people who couldn’t wear what they want, say what they want or do things they want. Just remind yourself why you’re grateful every single day.
Everett Z.
You have to consciously take time to look around and count your blessings. From the air we breath, the roof over our heads, the company of friends and family, the wonders of nature. So much to be grateful for!
M N.
Appreciation…..😌😊☺️ When I take the time to appreciate things that I have in my life which bring me happiness, a feeling of gratefulness washes through me☺️😊👌👍
Zander B.
For me, it's more of a love of the world. To be able to appreciate the small and big things. To appreciate that the bad can and will make way for the good and change for the good. To understand that our lifetime is short and so is our time to experience the wonders of this earth. I can look at the sky and somehow find beauty & joy in the sky each time. Learn to appreciate the smallest of things. 🙂
Daniel N.
„Gratitude is not something you have to express. If you are filled with gratitude for all that contributes to your life, it will melt your very being.“ – Sadhguru
Christie P.
I have a gratitude journal sms I add to it every single day as a habit. I also go outside and breathe the fresh air into my lungs a couple times per day to just be grateful for the beauty around me.
Antoinette G.
Ofcourse i do i have alot to be greatful for life kids mom and dad still living and i have a wonderful husband whom i love to the moon n back💗
Dwayne F.
I've learned to find things that you absolutely love and you appreciate the opportunity for. For me I always look to things that make me feel safe and happy.
Mahsa N.
Thank you. When I started to be a better version of myself, I never imagined that I could do good habits, but now that it has become my daily routine, I started with a glass of water in the morning and made a checklist and I added a habit to it every week. If you do not do a few habits in the middle of this process, it is not a problem, but I believe that if you want, you will be even better than me. If I could, you can too👍👊
Nancy Y.
I began keeping a gratitude journal on January 1, 2021. I didn’t have any expectations when I started, aside from wanting to write in it daily. That first entry filled the page with five bullet points of things for which I was grateful. Since then, I’ve written a page a day, with 5 bullet points. The journal is not big- it measures 5”x7”. It has become a self-care ritual at this point. It gives me time to reflect on my day and look inward. Although there has been substantial struggle and instability in my life over the last decade, there is also a lot of beauty and joy, especially when I look for it. I’ve come to really love my journal, as it keeps my head and heart clearer and more at peace.
Andrea F.
A gratitude journal is an excellent start. No matter how good my day has been, every evening before bed I prompt myself to be grateful for at least three things I had for the day. I usually take the freedom to write more than three and I encourage you to do so as well. As for staying grateful, I remind myself of the things that keep me afloat, like making it to and from work safely and having food to eat if I had an unpleasant day at work.
Roger Y.
I know I tend to think my life is lacking, so when I practice gratitude I remember and highlight positive thoughts of what I do have
Shane P.
I stay grateful by doing all of these tasks fabulous gives me, I try to be grateful every day and not be a brat ………. How do you drink so much water
Bradley Y.
I try to find things in my day that went well. Yes there may have been bad things but I tell myself to learn from those mistakes and keep trying. It might be hard but sometimes even when life is unbearable there is always something even something small to be happy for. When you start to feel like your having negative emotions, notice that and think of something good
Liesbeth E.
I think it takes time to be more grateful or at least bring your awareness that you are grateful. If you set an active practice to start reflecting on what you're grateful for you will start to do it more even without the intention.
V Jas O.
Either by daily repetition of just stopping for a moment and naming things I'm grateful for out loud and pondering why their important to me.
Or by trying to recognize the things in my life that I'm blessed with that not everyone has, such as food, housing, a job, income, family, friends, etc.
Chloe N.
I try to appreciate the small things in life like the smell of coffee in the morning, the blossoming flowers in my garden, my friend making me laugh. It doesn’t have to be the big things you are grateful for; it’s the little things in life that I hold onto.
Warren E.
I'm thinking that what I have now I must protect, don't comparing yourself with other people , because every person are special.
Marc T.
I remind myself to take a few moments and simply think about what I am grateful for. It doesn’t matter how small or how big that thing is, it could be a new job, but it could also just be the fact I saw a cat on my way to work, appreciating those little and big things in life really helps me stay optimistic.
Dream N.
I usually try to be greatful as it happens. Like, if I have a good friend who’s making me laugh on a crappy day I’ll appreciate them mentally or honestly sometimes I’ll just say thank you, I don’t think they hear me (I say it quietly) but 🤷‍♀️
Anna Y.
I definitely don’t stay grateful, I just try to focus on what is actually good. I have a horrible habit of looking at something tiny and thinking it’s huge, sometimes it’s as little has a few dirty dishes. I will sit there and call myself lazy when really I’m just human !
Maya Y.
I think that we all forget about all the good things happening in our so rounding and those little things that we take for granted just because we are use to it. This app has helped me realize that every single day we have something to be grateful for just by making me write about it
Elwira Y.
By not wallowing in my mistakes. Rather learning from them, and appreciating them for what they are worth, while not giving them more energy than necessary to learn; in doing so, I open myself up all possibilities and opportunities from my mistakes, and I let them uplift me rather than drag me down. It's not a perfect process that's foolproof, but it's gaining successful momentum the more it's utilized.
Maddalena N.
I have been struggling with grief for a very long time when I was younger, it was an existential grief, I had no material problems. My pain regarded my self feeling, my relationsinships whith parents, lovers and the world. Since I'm not suffering that way anymore – even if my material life have also been more difficult during the last ten years than before – I am grateful, and I have a very clear perception of how many blessings I received for hazard.
Silke I.
Find small things in every day that made you smile, made you happy. Last night, it snowed in my city. So today I took a stroll around the block. The silence and beautiful view made me feel so peaceful. While I’m usually very stressed lately with this whole COVID thing. So I was grateful for that moment.
It really is the small things. You ate something that was nice, you had a nice chat with a friend or family member, …
Emma G.
Because today, this moment is all we have. Want a reminder, go visit a Cancer ward..or a cemetery and you'll appreciate this moment. Breathing is a miracle and we have only so many before we breathe our last. Make today count and be grateful.
Joless N.
i had a bad period in my past, i was depressed and i barely got out my bed to eat, while now im better, im working and i have some good friends. everything that i have now is something beautiful if i think at my past and i am grateful every day for all the progress i have done and for every little step that i make.. even if today i just get out of bed and talk to someone, i am grateful and proud of myself. i suffered but now i can see the beauty in every little thing 🙂
何伟伦 N.
Although life can tend to be difficult sometimes and it's difficult to see the good in things in those times. However,training your mind not to always see what's going wrong but also what's going right can help. It's just a bad day not a bad life. The storm doesn't last forever…
Lia D.
Analysing my day and taking notes of certain things that I know are usually "hard" to do
For example: let's say that the day was off, but you're grateful for the simple fact that you had breakfast, which gave you energy in order to start and face the day.
Or maybe you're just grateful that despite not having the results you wanted for the day, you did your best.
There are many things to always be greatful for 🙂
Ash F.
You have to constantly make the effort to be grateful. Or at least in the beginning. Its a constant reminder. And it doesnt always happen naturally, but the hope is one day it will.
Dana O.
I stay grateful by looking back on my day and thinking of the people or things that made happy. I know I'm grateful and blessed to have that and this starts to shift my mindset. After that I try to think of a challenging thing and how I can find a learning point or a silver lining that leads me to also be grateful for this event. This is typically harder but I want to shift my overall mindset and genuinely learn to feel blessed and grateful for the life I have and I feel been grateful for the not so great parts of my day allow me to grow my mindset in that direction.
Lissa N.
Hi 👋😊 Constantly being grateful is hard. But sometimes I look at the people 💃👯‍♂️🕺and things around me and imagine my life without them. How much I would miss them or the lengths I would need to go to do life without them. Strip it right back to basics. Sometimes I’m grateful I have a bed 🛌🕯🌙 to crawl into at the end of the day or a phone 📱 that knows everything 🧠 because I wouldn’t know half the stuff I do now without it. I also like to think about humans 🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏻🧍🏼‍♂️before all these inventions 💡 and how hard it was to get food 🍟🍔🍌🥑or stay warm 🔥 or get well when they got injured 🤕 🩹 and that sometimes ends up with me being thankful I even have a toothbrush 🪥 to keep my mouth clean. I try to find appreciation for the small things and not take them for granted.
If nothing else, I can be grateful for the opportunity that perhaps tomorrow could be better ☀️🌈 No matter how unlikely it may seem, there’s still a possibility tomorrow will be better than today and if it’s not I will battle through it day after day until it is 💪
I hope this helps 😊
Good luck 🤞
Chrystal S.
I wouldn't say I am constantly grateful. At first, I would think about what I was grateful for just before bed. Things like, I'm grateful I have a house to live in, a car to drive. Just anything in my life that would be difficult to live without. As I kept on doing it, the things I was grateful for got more personal. Like, I'm grateful for specific people in my life (not that I wasn't before, mind you, it just didn't always pop up in the beginning). I keep doing it, even if I am grateful for the same things I was yesterday. The mindset starts to change slowly. Often I find myself thinking of things to be grateful for when I wake up in the morning now too. And maybe something will pop into my head during the day. If it does, I say (in my head), "I am grateful for xyz." I have days where I am stressed out and angry or sad. We are all human and will feel those other emotions as well. It's OK to not be grateful 100% of your day. Just try to be grateful for one thing each day. More will come over time. I am grateful for the opportunity to answer this question.
Fatma N.
I should be grateful at all times
Why? U might ask it’s cuz I am building a healthy mindset and a positive one, u know what I LOVE being grateful it opened my eyes wide open and value for everything at all times and that’s where gratefulness comes
Jennifer O.
Well the truth is, I don’t. I forget, I stumble, I make mistakes but these days I am always kind to myself. I remind myself that I can always come back to my grateful meditation and change those “other” thoughts. Lately I notice much more clearly and quickly when I am being ungrateful and quickly start listing all the things I have to be thankful for, some as trivial as green grass and some as grand as my daughter. Feeling grateful feels so much better than feeling bitter and resentful. The repetitiveness of doing this daily now comes as second nature.
Karen U.
I don't! I have moments when I lose sight of the good things, but I remember to be kind to myself. I look back at the notes of gratitude to help me remember. I admit there are times I do not feel like doing that. That's ok.
Julie Y.
Nobody is greatful all the time, but you can be most of the time if you want to. I stay greatful by focusing on all the great things in my life and by doing the things I enjoy. By doing this I try to take control over my mindset and life, such that I get as great a life as possible.
I hope this was any help:)
Maja C.
I try to maintain awareness of gratitude. I remind myself about it during the day, especially if I'm feeling negative. I also write things to be grateful for in my journal at night.
Meg F.
There is only one answer for me. Count your blessings and focus on what you have not what you want. Pit bulls said in his song “everyday above ground is a great day, remember that.”
Caroline U.
Whenever I see my parents. They have always been so nice to me despite myself being so annoying. I recently realised how much they care for me, such as giving me money or things that I didn’t need. Whenever I see them, they always remind me that they actually care for me and give me everything they could
Necy Y.
I have lived a long life of obstacles and challenges. When I remember the more difficult times, it easier to appreciate the blessings that have come since. Everything is about perspective.
Selma P.
I constantly stay greatful by thinking of what I love most and blowing all the bad thoughts away to make sure I end my day happier.
Autumn Y.
I look past all the bad things and focus on the one thing that I am really excited about. On weekdays it’s usually basketball I love basketball weather it’s games or just practice I have love it. Basketball is the one time in the whole day that I completely forget that other things are going on. Basketball is the one time of the day that all the problems I have disappear as soon as I walk into the gym. Basketball is everything to me right now I love basketball with my entire heart. My team is amazing, 8th grade A team is rude for the most part. But the B team is full of my friends and I wouldn’t change my team for anything. When I am playing basketball even if the coach is telling me everything I do wrong or the A team is laughing I don’t care because as soon as I start playing again I am having fun. Basketball is my everything including my sisters and basketball just makes me happy. But on the weekends I don’t have basketball but I get to focus on relaxing and maybe hanging out with friends.
B Bor O.
You don't have to be greatful all the time. Bad things happen and you have to know it isn't great. But after you realized it's not great try to find at least one thing that makes it good/positive/useful in your life.
Bernhard J.
Small things make me happy, I try every day to search for those things and mention these moments to myself. I search for the little things like things in nature (baby animals, colours of a three) or great full things people gave me! (A smile, compliment)
Abigail P.
I try to stay greatful everyday but it's not easy because we tend to find important things to be grateful for and sometimes we don't consider the little things that are too importants.
L Onieluisa N.
I’m constantly staying grateful by writing it down each night. I’m also staying grateful by talking about it with people and appreciate what’s been given to me, what’s flourishing and I been achieving.
Bernice E.
As I always have been told to look at the people who have less than me and are lower than me , whenever I tend to become less grateful I look at people who have less than me and I try to see what I have more and tell myself out loud about the things I’m grateful for even if I don’t truly mean it by the time I mention three to four things I start to feel better
Ann J.
See I seriously dont know how I stay constantly greatful but there is a voice inside me which makes me happy about the unhappy also I know this sounds stupid but its true try to understand your self you ll understand everything
Marcel Z.
By appreciating what others do for you irrespective of how you feel gratitude of others by doing acts of kindness no matter how small to improve their day ❤❤
Louise P.
By noting things around me and staying aware. It is often the smallest things you need to be grateful for, together they add up to making life good
