How do you manage to still be grateful on days when everything seems dark and pointless?

You can always be greatful because these days are finally over at the end of the day. You can also be greatful that you are still living, breathing, feeling and have arms and legs and feelings. Remember about those small little things that you might not see because you always had it.

I don’t know. I would try to focus in my effort and what I have and what I’ve made for myself and in the now and here. Trying to be grateful for giving yourself the space to try.

I try finding that one moment that actually wasn’t dark and pointless. Some People said to me that it’s always there, you Just have to look for it. Sometimes it takes me a little while longer before I find a good moment, but most of the time I find it really fast. And then I feel grateful for that moment and for finding that moment.

Thanks for this question! Sometimes everything feels useless, dark and pointless, and it feels hard to be grateful. For me it works to focus on little things that make me grateful. The little lightpoints in the darkness, we will say :). Even when it’s very dark and difficult, there are always a few little things to be grateful about. For example: you’re breathing, you’ve socks, the sun shines (or it rains, just write it down on the list or thjngs to be grateful for, it works), you’ve a smartphone, etc. Just stsrt writing at your happy-thingslist, remember that even when you only have one thing, it’s something to be grateful about. Very long answer, I’m sorry :). Love you, praying for you (write down on your grateful things list :)!)

Sometimes the problems are a gift because I can get a big award against them . And may they are from my mistakes , then I have to apologize , and correct myself before it gets too late ,So i can be greatful that I noticed that . And be greatful that i remembered that this life is full of problems and causes and doesn’t worth to waste my times for it and must think of a bigger target that is endless . Because everything at life ends one day . I think that it is better to be grateful for the causes and take it as a reminder and try to take benefit of it and think about it . Maybe the correct thinking is what lets a person wake up from his ignorance . Any how I can try to be greatful and try to get the rest of my life an opportunity for thinking and changing my way . Knowing that absolutely I am dying one day so soon . Anyhow I must be greatful that I am exist and I should think that why and for what purpose I am lifing . And think about anystep that I take where it will take me to and what will be then . I am greatful that I also have a way to reach the right destination . I am greatful that I still have a chance have a hope . That I have an eye and have a heart . I am greatful that I have a goal . I am greatful that I tend to beauty .........

well my be grateful act is part of my morning routine so just after i’ve woken up, had a delicious breakfast and my teeth taste minty and fresh from just brushing them, it’s a really good mindset i’m in after all that so i’m usually grateful for my food, my house, my opportunity for education as i get to online school afterwards. after putting yourself in the rest mind set, it’s easy to find things to be grateful for x

By looking out of the window and into the world. Realising how magical the nature is helps me to feel grateful for being here to witness it’s splendor.

Days can’t be dark or pointless. They r just days. Im trying to focus on my mind and my doing. Thats what I can change to have a 'good day'

I think you have to just pause. Stop what you’re doing and look for something. Actively do it rather than simply trying to think. Use your eyes and look. It might not be the first obvious thing you think of or your first thought. It might be something you see everyday but never think to be grateful of. If I stopped right now (I’ve been cleaning my house all day and feel crappy about it), like I actually stop, breathe and look around. I’m grateful I have a safe home. I’m grateful for the cooker I have to cook on, and the meals I have access to because I have a functioning kitchen. So have a look around now, do you have a comfy bed that allows you rest? Do you have a pet that loves you unconditionally? Maybe the sun is shining. Do you have running water and a functioning bathroom that allows you to stay clean. You can be grateful for literally anything.

because I know there are gonna be better days and you have to go threw the rain before you can get to the rainbow just like you have to get threw the bad things to get threw the good things.
