I feel grateful for being healthy, me and my family, I have a home, I have electricity, I have internet, I have a comfortable and warm bed, I have much food to eat for the next month, I have warm water to have a bath everyday, I have notebooks to journal everyday!!!
On my darkest day it’s hard to be positive but you can never negate a fact even when you’re sad. I say things like thank you that I can breath, see, hear, walk, speak. I keep it basic but still very impertinent bc well it is a blessing and gift to have your 5 senses. So when things are dark and you can’t say “i love my life today” you can still say “I’m alive and I’m grateful to be”
Remind yourself of the good things even if they’re very simple. Think of a pet or person you love (or even better, spend time with them!), or if you dont have a person or pet to think of, think of beautiful things in the world that make you smile or things that you would love to change to make the world a better place. If you really dont have energy even just looking at funny and cute things online can help relax your mind.
outline your own accomplishments. find ways to be grateful for what got you there. do something you love to do to help you find inspiration. exercising gives you time to think and reflect on things in your life. it helps you gain a better mindset in general.
I recently heard great advise on reframing responsibilities as things we “get to” do instead of “have to” do. It doesn’t need to be something big, every little moment and activity including observations count as experiences we get to witness.
Put a notebook by your bed. When you wake up, and before you go to sleep, look around your room, and find three things that you are very grateful to have, and write them down. A pet, a jacket, shoes, family, friends, curtains, light, a bed, food. Love your surroundings, and you will feel better.💙
Just pick up the book and pen. Think about the really small things you have that many aren’t so lucky to have. Eg hot running water. A warm bed. Being able to use this app. There’s so much in the small things even when things may be hard. Force yourself to go there If you need to. Eventually you will see it in the small things everywhere you go. And it’s so amazing! :)
Just think of something little to be grateful for from a cup of coffee to an extra moments or yourself. Be grateful for something as simple as being able to breathe or having the right o vote or having freedom in the U.S. there is always something to be grateful for no matter what the cimcumstance is
I have a really good life. I have really come a long way from what I was before. And that I have done through my own merit. I have really put in a great effort and I may not be able to see it and compare myself to others, but I do a really great job and learn great things to make myself better in not just materialistic aspects but also in terms of virtue.
Think about generical things if you are not really feeling grateful. Saying for example I am grateful for being alive or I am grateful for waking up this morning so it gets you in the right state of mind.
