21 ways to practice Gratitude
A appreciation Journal: The most obvious and simple approach to incorporate appreciation into your daily routine is to keep a gratitude journal. You may number a blank diary yourself or buy one that already contains spaces for your daily thankfulness. Then get to work!I use and love the 5-minute notebook, but this gratitude diary appears to be a fantastic tool that will instill gratitude in you.
Go for a Walk: Take a regular walk and notice the beauty around you.Put your phone away for now and instead focus on what you like about your surroundings. If you’re walking with someone, point them out to them.
Try a Gratitude Meditation: Just as meditation may help us relax and focus, it can also help us be more appreciative for what we have.
Practice evening Gratitude: As part of your evening routine, consider three beautiful things that happened to you today. For even more impact, write them down or explain them to your spouse.
A Gratitude Jar: Next, place a jar on your dining room table and have each member of the family write down what they’re grateful for each day or week. Use a simple mason jar or this thankfulness jar, which is specifically created to generate lovely gratitudes.
Take a Break Before Meals: Make a short prayer or saying to remind yourself to be grateful for the sustenance your body need. Here’s an easy one to try: “Lord, thank you for the food before us, the family beside us, and the love between us.”
Create a Love Letter: Send love letters or thank you cards to persons in your life who have helped shape you into the person you are today.
Consider Thinking Outside the Box: We get bored with thankfulness because we keep seeing the same things. Find different things to be grateful for, such as overcoming an obstacle, learning, or giving something to someone.
Appreciate an Action: When your husband, children, or the mailman do something for you, a simple thank you is an easy approach to cultivate thankfulness. Have you shown gratitude to anybody today?
Experiment with Gratitude Alphabet: Go through the alphabet at the dinner table, using each letter as the starting sound for something you’re grateful for. This is an excellent approach to make appreciation a family affair.
Utilize Social Media: While social media has its drawbacks, it can also be a fantastic accountability tool. Share something you’re grateful for on social media, or challenge yourself to post something you’re glad for every day for thirty days.
Develop Visual Cues: It’s not always easy to remember to be grateful, so use visual cues and reminders to help.Put gratitude affirmations on your bathroom mirrors or set reminders on your phone to take a deep breath and appreciate the beauty around you.
Make a Thank You List: Like the journal, one giant thankfulness list is a terrific method for you to physically recognize the great things going on in your life. Add to your list every day, and you’ll be compelled to be inventive in order to avoid repetition.
Share One Thing Every Day: Another simple family activity! Make it a dinnertime tradition for everyone to share one thing they’re grateful for during the day. This can also be integrated into a child’s nighttime ritual.
Call Someone You Care About: Contact someone who has been supportive of you and check in with them.
Utilize Holidays: It can be awkward to say thank you to someone out of the blue. In that situation, take use of holidays to make things easier. At Thanksgiving, express your gratitude to your family, your partner on Valentine’s Day, and your parents on Mother’s and Father’s Day.
Thank Someone in Public: Gratitude does not have to be kept private. Recognize someone’s efforts in front of others if they have done something worthy of praise. It will make you both happy.
Remind Yourself of Your Experiences: I recently discovered a card I sent to my (then) lover many years ago.In the note, I mentioned how happy I was to wake up next to him after three years of being apart.Three children and twelve years later, I discovered how much I now take for granted.This man is my life, and it’s a lovely reminder that our relationship wasn’t always simple.What have you been through?Or will you triumph?Many things that are tough at the time enhance the beauty of life if we take the time to look.
Express Appreciation for a Service or Product:Do you enjoy the latest book you’ve read?Or do you routinely benefit from someone’s teachings?Inform them!Leave a comment or send a note expressing your appreciation.
Replace Negative Thoughts: It’s amazing how much negativity we allow go unnoticed in our brains. Spend one week actively replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. These new good ideas are frequently in the form of thankfulness.You’ll also notice that these substitutions significantly reduce your desire to complain!
