Expressing thankfulness through words of gratitude can create a huge impact on your relationships. Being grateful can lift our mood, cheer us up & motivate us to live another day with the hope that this shall too pass.
Self-Exploration
Gratitude starts with self. Reflecting upon our day can help us to acknowledge what we do for ourselves and be grateful for it.
Take a moment & look around in your everyday routine. You can try preparing a gratitude list.
think about 3 things that made you happy recently
think about 2 people who stayed close to you during this lockdown
jot down 5 activities you did during this lockdown with your family
Just a few words of self-appreciation and moments of self-exploration about our thoughts can pause all insecurities, anxieties, and bring a smile to your face. Being content with yourself is being grateful for every little thing you do for yourself.
Making Gratitude a Habit
Gratitude can be made a habit. We can focus on the things we are grateful for about 5-10 mins before going to bed or after just waking up. Try doing it for about a week, & the impact that it makes in your life.
