GRATITUDE UNLOCKS THE FULLNESS OF LIFE. IT TURNS
WHAT WE HAVE INTO ENOUGH, AND MORE. ~Melodie Beatty
An attitude of gratitude is good for your health and happiness.
How do you develop a habit of thankfulness
and appreciation? Here are five ways to
do it:
1.
Focus on appreciation: Think of what you have
got such as your car and house. Think of what you are doing well such as a
satisfying and well-paid job. Think about your financial situation. You are
debt-free and no one is bothering you for money. Think of your health. When you
are fit and energetic, you are living in abundance. You care for people and people care for you.
Life is worth living when you are related and closely connected.
2.
Choose gratefulness: Think of what others have
done for you. Express your gratefulness in a thank you letter. Happiness is knowing that others are paying
attention and care about your well-being.
3.
Gratitude journal: Write in your diary at the
end of each day about things that have happened and created a positive impact
on you. The more you can recall the goodness in a day, the more blessed you
are.
4.
Be positive: Always look at the bright side of
things. When you wake up to welcome a
new day, be thankful that you are given another great day to live and enjoy
life. React to negative events in life as challenges and resolve to overcome
them with determination and confidence.
5.
Be polite: Be sensitive to the people around you.
Make people feel good; say please, thank you and excuse me. Look for ways to compliment others. Do random
acts of kindness and acknowledge and greet others you meet with a smile. When
you are kind and do good to others, you feel delightful yourself.
If the only prayer
you say in your life is ‘thank you,’ that would suffice. ~ Meister Eckhart
