To show appreciation of what i already have is verymeaning ful to me. Gratitude is very vital, if we can’t be grateful for the little things how are we going to be grateful for the big ones.
A world without gratitude would be pointless. We practice it because we should feel gratitude when we accomplish our goals when we extend the bounds of our comfort zones when we start to love ourselves when we start to appreciate ourselves.
We do it because we’re too often drowning in our own negativity and we need to set up our brain to start being more positive and realize what we realy already have..
Because it’s really important to know what we are greatful for in our lives before we compare our lives to others and judge them. We need to be grateful!
To keep our focus on what we have to work with. If we don’t shift our focus to what we do have then we will become upset about what we don’t. This hinders success. Stay grateful!
Idk, I think everyone has their own reasons, selfish or not. I’d agree mine is both. It’s to remind me to be grateful for what I have, even the little (although it’s truly really big and important thing) things - I have clean water available, roof over my head and my own room and bed, I am relatively healthy (am diabetic, but also I have access to health care and latest medical equipment like glucose sensor and an insulin pump which make my life easier and less painful - hate needles) and I am fully mobile. But there are also selfish ones like (notice that being a little selfish is good) : I am grateful for the internship I got, the workshop I attended and anything that might help me find a good job later on, that I (for example) did my Japanese lesson that day.
I practice gratitude because it brings to mind all the wonderful people in my life and all the things that make life interesting, beautiful, adventurous, exciting, secure, convenient and comfortable. It is a way to fight the natural inclination towards negativity which pull me downward. I like the uplifting and compassion and kindness that I feel and express towards others when I practice gratitude.
I practice gratitude to be mindful of the good around me. To practice showing appreciation to improve my relationships. To ensure the bad but remember and appreciate the good. By practicing daily, I find myself enjoying and expressing feelings of gratitude even during the bad times.
To see the good in things even while at having a bad day. It can make you feel calm and happy also it can show you that every day has good all around even when not trying to be shown. It can be shown is the slightest ways like just waking up or , getting some food.
We got used to give value only to bad things happening in our daily life, judjing our selves for our mistakes. Gratitude gives us the chance to notice the good things, breaking the bad habit. Moreover, it makes us more aware of the pleasure of the simple things and what we already have. Expressing gratitude everyday is changing the way I feel and face the day.
