This will make you happier
“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.” – Aesop.
Oh here we go, another boring post about gratitude. Yeah yeah, I KNOW, it’s important.
If I parachuted into your life right now, would be able to show me evidence of a daily gratitude practice?
Errrm… eeek.
So many of the things we think we know we really DON’T know, because we aren’t actually doing them.
Imagine how much happier your life could be – without even lifting a finger – if you acknowledged all the good there already is?
Gratitude, baby. Every single day.
My motto is If it matters, do it daily. IIMDID. I’ve said it so many times I want to get it printed on a t-shirt, and a mug. And make desktop screensavers.
When I first began daily gratitude journaling, I can honestly say I had the most blissful 3 months of my life. I'd never felt so content.
Here’s my gratitude practice:
Every morning, with my partner, we write gratitude journals (sometimes on paper, sometimes on an app). These are the questions we answer:
3 things I am grateful for today…
Today I want to feel…
To make today great I will…
Affirmation. I am…
I’m telling you, this has changed my life, and it will change yours too. But only if you actually DO it.
