Be grateful for the little things
Life offers so much to be thankful for – from health and happiness to smaller things such as a piece of toast or a warm shower. Acknowledging small acts of kindness is essential for feeling thankfulness and abundance; by appreciating all you already possess instead of what’s lacking, gratitude becomes easier and abundance more tangible.
Keep a simple pleasures list or gratitude journal to practice being grateful for even small joys in your life, such as one small aspect that pleases you each day. Each time something makes you happy, no matter how small, write it down on that day’s list or journal page.
Make a list and review it whenever you’re having a tough day; when things seem difficult, reading over this list may help remind yourself of all the blessings in your life, making even an otherwise bad day seem less stressful.
Be grateful for the big things
What would make your heart sing if they manifested in your life? Gratitude for these dreams even if they have yet to materialize into physical form; just envision and believe and the magic starts happening!
Rather, be thankful for anyways your big idea has already brought joy to others—maybe by offering a kind smile or words at checkout or taking sick friend’s soup to their home.
By making gratitude part of your morning ritual, negative thoughts are less likely to emerge throughout the day; your positive mindset sets an excellent foundation for how the rest of the day unfolds.
Be grateful for your health
Cultivating gratitude can be an effective way to improve your health. Studies suggest that regular practitioners of gratitude have lower risks of depression and are more likely to sleep soundly, as well as lower anxiety levels,s by shifting focus from negative past or future thoughts onto things for which we’re grateful in the present moment.
As soon as you wake up, try thinking of one person you are grateful for, whether that be someone sending funny texts or the barista who serves your morning coffee and shares friendly conversation. Doing this can help improve restfulness while increasing oxytocin levels that promote feelings of connection, it may even improve heart health by decreasing stress and blood pressure levels.
Be grateful for your relationships
Showing our loved ones just how much we appreciate them, and taking time to express our thanks can strengthen relationships. Studies have revealed that those who regularly express gratitude report higher levels of relationship satisfaction and commitment.
Make time each morning to think of three things for which you are grateful, whether that be in a journal or on your smartphone app so you can look back when needed as a reminder.
Some individuals may be reluctant to express their appreciation, fearing their gratitude will be dismissed or that it may make them uncomfortable. Instead of adopting this scarcity mindset, focus on expressing appreciation for all the positive things in your life–this will benefit both yourself and those around you!
Be grateful for your finances
Gratitude helps us remain present in what we already have rather than dwelling on what is missing, leading us to make more rational choices with money and avoid unnecessary purchases.
Practice gratitude to enhance your financial situation by increasing your “financial self-efficacy,” or confidence that you can attain your goals. Studies show that people who feel grateful are more likely to delay gratification and save, whereas sad or negative people tend to want things immediately.
There are various ways you can express your appreciation, from keeping a gratitude journal or creating a “gratefulness jar,” to writing letters. Even financial activities, like paying bills or reviewing bank statements can benefit from cultivating gratitude – as can confiding in someone you trust about any stressful financial situations that may arise.
