Lets be grateful!

in life •  7 years ago 

I read in "The How of Happiness" a very simple way to boost your happiness! Simply everyday write down 3 things you are gratefulfor! By forcing yourself to be grateful repetitively your brain will actually start to appreciate things more over time(This has been proven with fMRI as well as self report studies)

I encourage you all to leave a comment below listing the 3 things you are grateful for today. All serious comments will receive a 33% upvote from me!(worth about 10 cents)

I am grateful for:

  1. Finding a NeuroScience PhD therapist to help me conquer my PTSD and Night Terrors among other things.
  2. Making it to 2 weeks sober! More time then I have ever been able to manage before.
  3. My loving family for their support threw this rough patch of life!

I am grateful for so many things, so I'll just focus on some that I'm manifesting more of into my life :-)

I'm grateful for my body, the way that it heals itself, and communicates to me what I can do to keep it healthy & whole.

I'm grateful for my beautiful community, the humans all around the world that I call family, and the ways in which every one of them make my life and the entire world better.

I'm grateful for the opportunities I have to heal my old traumas, and the way that healing ripples out in all directions to bring about a more peaceful & loving humanity.

Great to see you are doing well along your path to recovery! It always puts your life into perspective when you think of all that you have to live for.

I am grateful to have my well being, my family/friends, and a job to provide.

and I am grateful for your upvotes! albeit I think your logged in the wrong account atm :P

you keep me motivated to do positive affirmations and now gratitude list so thanks !

What are you greatful for today? You are such a beautiful human being!

I am grateful for:

  1. Being alive, even though I may think otherwise at times. I have new experiences and see new things everyday. Life is has plenty of pain, but there will always be those moments of beauty and awe that remind you how great it is to be around.
  2. My recent sobriety and the people I met at treatment, including yourself. It was a good reminder that life is better spent sober, with a clear mind. Drinking each day to avoid pain and a hangover can only last so long. It only makes it worse in the end.
  3. The unjudgemental support and love I am fortunate enough to recieve from family and friends.

I appreciate the input as well as your kind words! Your a beautiful human! I hope life gives you blessings on blessings on blessings!

The first one is totally tacky but I have to.... i am thankful for steemit because it's the first time I've felt everything I need is in one place, a strong community with an overwhelming amount of awesome people (you included) , a place to share all my artistic and other pursuits and also a means of bringing in abundance and helping others do the same.

The second is my body. We weren't too good at communicating with each other for a while so I kind of messed it up but we are good now and getting better.

The third, the people in my life. My partner, my tribe, my allies, the people who inspire me and the ones who have allowed me to inspire them.

Nothing tacky here! You are an amazing person! Im so glad I stumbled upon you.
Stay awesome!

100% upvote for you-oooh

These are awesome things to be greatful for! Thanks for participating!

What I'm grateful for!!!!

1). My health/sobriety - with out this I would be destroyed.

  1. the friends whom support me through the good and the bad.
  2. my Friends from Schick who are there for me day and night!

Great things to be greatful for! Im glad to have gotten to meet you!

I agree that daily gratitude is a foundation for abundance in happiness and all areas of our lives! I am grateful for a safe trip this evening to visit my partner who has dementia, for my supportive friends and family, and for the healing and inspiring power of music in my life. Great post!

Thanks! I hope youl follow me and practice this with me every day! Lets grow together!

I am so sorry to hear about your partner with dementia that must be one of the toughest things ever to go threw. I remember living with my grand parents as they both went threw it and the tables tuned from them taking care of me to me taking care of them. I wish you the best!

Following with pleasure. It's great to see uplifting posts directed to help us grow :)

I'm blessed with good health, a wonderful family, and I have enough.

Now thats what I like to hear! Blessings on blessings on blessings.

Sounds like your stay for ten days might have done some good!
I' m going to take the challenge.

My answers may seem "shallow" to some who pass by, but you don't know me!

I am grateful for:

  1. My beautiful 25 year old daughter who is distant and not as much a part of my life as I would like, but whom I love with all my heart.
  2. I'm grateful for the PALnet/MSP discord crowd who give me purpose and family.
  3. I'm grateful to be alive, and we all have different reasons for that.

I dont think any of these are shallow! I am grateful for 2 of the same things so you best not be calling me shallow! jkjk
