Gratitude leads to lasting feelings of happiness and purpose.
Well, isn’t that what we all want? Yes it is.
I read an article just this morning that the people of Ukraine are rebuilding their towns in the midst of war and shelling. They are cleaning the streets, cleaning out the buildings, bringing in new supplies to the looted stores, opening up coffee shops, planting flowers in the center of town, cutting down lawns in deserted places. They are practicing gratitude for what they still have, and for what they can do to bring life back to some kind of normalcy.
Being grateful for what you have, or what you don’t have, and for what you can do about all of it is the key to happiness.
Why practice gratitude? Without practice, your gratitude will not materialize on its own. Only through conscious practice will gratitude become a habit.
There are many different techniques one can use to practice and establish one’s gratitude awareness. Each of us is different and each of us requires a specific type of gratitude practice in order to make it a habit.
What is your practice technique?
You will never know the joy of daily gratitude until it becomes a habit. Say “yes” to opportunities to be grateful and embrace the learning process of life.
This week, I challenge you tp find your grateful practice technique. Then be accountable to yourself and practice it. Test it and see if being grateful is all that it’s cracked up to be. :-)
Can YOU be the person standing in your own way of experiencing gratefulness?
Move out of your own way, be grateful for one thing per day.
