Every December, you hear a lot of expressions that essentially mean that the holiday season is a time for giving. It's a time to be thankful for all the gifts you have experienced thus far in life, and as a result of your gratitude, you are motivated to return the favor and give back. However, being grateful or adopting a grateful mindset shouldn't be a seasonal phenomenon. You should always have it and put it into practice. Why? As a result, life becomes simpler, lighter, and happier.
Because your life is a mess, stress easily consumes you. You get bothered by who obstructed the flow of water on the kitchen sink, why your long-distance partner isn't calling you as often, or who wore the dress you were going to wear to Church today. To top it all off, as you go through Instagram, you notice how "perfect" other people's lives are and realize that no matter how hard you strive, you will never measure up to them.
Think of how much difference it will bring to the world if it were populated by positive people who often express their thanks. Few people are aware that cultivating an "attitude of thankfulness" genuinely improves one's outlook on life, fosters happiness, reduces anxiety or depressive attacks, and promotes restful sleep every night of the week.
You might be considering cultivating an attitude of thankfulness after hearing about these advantages. Why could it be so difficult? Every day, start telling yourself what you are truly thankful for as you face the mirror. But we're here to let you know that it's not that simple. Even getting to the mirror to look at oneself in the mirror is challenging.
But just because something is difficult doesn't mean you shouldn't try. We're all simply attempting to lead happy lives, right? Here's how you may start cultivating a thankfulness mindset and improve your life by doing so.
Your day should begin with appreciation.
Start each day with a grin and a "thank you" for granting you another chance to live life before you check the time. Consider just 3 factors in your life right now that you feel thankful for. It could be something big like you're anticipating your first day as the branch supervisor, or something small, like the comfortable bed you woke up in, the clean water you're using to take a shower right now, and the food you'll eat for breakfast. It's common to have days when you can only come up with three, so don't worry about it. There will be additional days on your list so you won't run out of time.
Start a journal for gratitude.
Take out a little journal and write down three things that you are thankful for each day—either in the morning, at night, or even when you just feel you want to do it. Use a straightforward, compact notebook or a gratitude diary to keep track of your thoughts. Even day planners come with markers so you can record your current source of gratitude. Keeping a thankfulness diary can turn into a helpful source of inspiration. Once it becomes a habit, you might occasionally glance through it and discover a perspective on your life that you are too stressed to notice and appreciate. You could use this diary as a way to boost your mood and assist you in getting through a terrible day.
Take pride in yourself.
We cannot emphasize this enough. You need to learn to love yourself, therefore remind yourself that you are wonderful and more than enough if no one else tells you just that. Be your own best advocate. Recognize your accomplishments and pat yourself on the back for overcoming obstacles despite your flaws. Even if you have poor self-esteem, it can be difficult to complement yourself, but if you practice every day, we can assure you that it will ultimately get easier.
Develop a list of all the things in your life for which you are thankful. It's not necessary to feel thankful because you made a million dollars this year. It doesn't need to be ornate or large. It's possible that you found the willpower to just get up from your bed, fold your sheets, and drive yourself to the gym. While you are enjoying something on Netflix, your eight-year-old child could approach you and give you the tightest embrace. It might have been your colleague's "thank you" after you offered to make some copies of the meeting minutes. Of course, if you wanted to, you could also go grander. Perhaps you are appreciative that you were able to enroll all three of your kids in school. You are grateful that you were able to take a weekend trip to Paris. You received the Nobel Peace Prize Award for Literature. It's important to express thankfulness to yourself for being present, for being a parent to your children, for being a friend to your mourning sister, and for being you.
