The Power of Thankfulness

in Proof of Brain2 years ago

As the year is coming to end in a view days and most of us are celebrating, I thought it would be a good time to share about thankfulness and be thankful of this past year.

Because being thankful for what you have is one of the simplest and easiest ways to lift your mood. To give your motivation a jolt. And to live a happier life. No matter who you are or where you live in the world.

  • A simple first step to being more thankful is to pause during your day and ask yourself these two questions:

What are 3 things I can be thankful for in my life today?
Who are 3 people I can be thankful to have in my life and why?
If you don’t come up with 3 people and 3 things each day it's OK. One thing or person is great too.

But if you can, try to not repeat yourself too often.

Instead, think of more people and things to be grateful for to, day by day, expand your thankful view of your world.

  • Don’t stop at just coming up with people for whom you are grateful to have in your life. Take a few seconds to tell them about it. This will make their lives happier. And as their faces light up with a smile you’ll feel happier too. Now, that gratitude could just be a small sentence. But it can have a big impact on someone’s day, week or even life. So be sure to make the small effort to express it.

  • Look towards yourself too. It is not only things that are important. Or other people. You are important and valuable too.
    So appreciate that.

What are 3 things I can be thankful for about myself?
You can simply be thankful for your good sense of humor. Or the help you give your friends and family by being a good listener from time to time.

  • Be thankful for the things you may take for granted.
    The things we get very used to having can become things we take for granted. But they are not things everyone in the world has access to.

  • Start or end your day with thankfulness.

For example, you can start your day in a good way by finding 3 things to be grateful for about yourself over breakfast.

Or you can take a few minutes in the evening, just before going to bed, to use a journal to write down 3 things you are grateful for about your day.

Try a tiny time commitment like one of these and see what impact it has on your life.
