Previously, we began our journey by learning to pause and listen to the hidden whispers of our hearts. Today, let’s move our attention toward simple gift of gratitude. It’s easy, all you have to do is enjoy, start by feeling the warmth of sunlight on your skin, eating healthy, passing an unexpected smile or embracing loved one’s. By doing this we train our minds to celebrate these moments, changing our entire perspective.
A Small Morning Ritual
This morning, just say three “Thank You’s,” before you even rise from bed, whisper something small. Be thankful to your pillow's comfort, pay tribute to that cup of coffee, thanking your lungs or anything. Glue these positive sparks into your brain.
Gratitude
It is contagious. When you acknowledge someone’s kindness, you send out ripples of warmth than often return. Not only does this strengthen your relationships, it reminds you that you have people standing beside you in your struggles. Rip to rigged individualism, I guess.
A Daily Habit
To turn gratitude into a habit, set a daily remember, on your phone, mirror or planner. At the same time, note down one thing you are grateful for and with time, you will have a strong archive of optimism. This way you can revisit whenever you need a pump.
As for today’s challenge, before going to sleep share one gratitude note with someone in your life, maybe a text message, a voice message, drop a note, a face 2 face “Thank You.” Just notice how it brightens yours and theirs day.
Just remember, happiness is not a destination, but a collection of small thank yous. Embrace the practice and watch your world transform. All that matters is a one grateful thought at a time.
Peace 🕊
