Do you believe in the power of gratitude? I do! I try to begin and end each day with a grateful heart and I often work in moments of thanks throughout the day. I find that the more I am thankful, the more I notice all the amazing things I have to be grateful for.
There have been a number of studies that show gratitude has a positive effect on mental health. Here's a quote from a Harvard Health article. 'In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.' Giving thanks can make you happier - Harvard Health I was wondering what you all were thankful for. I am thinking I'll try to post at least one thing a day and together we can make a group gratitude journal. |

This morning I am thankful for time. I don't have to carpool or go anywhere this morning. I can drink my coffee slowly and ease into my day. The leaves are finally starting to change and I'm cozy with a blanket just appreciating the colors out my window.

I keep a gratitude journal
What I'm grateful for today is the cool weather and time to relax

I'm grateful that I have been able to bounce out of downswings fairly quickly over the recent years. I'm grateful that each day I have moments or even hours where I can experience joie de vivre.

I might need to post more than once each day!
 I have relatively recently started injecting a drug I'd rather not use; However, I have little choice because the condition for which I am taking it causes progessive, irreversible, damage. I live with Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA). Although I'd prefer to not have PsA, I am grateful to have the companionship of another person we all love. While I wish she'd never had to deal with this same condition, I am grateful to have ~Christina as a friend who fully understands all of the nuances involved in trying to manage this challenge. And... while I'd rather not inject the drug, I have to admit, my symptoms appear to be improving, for which I am also grateful!

I'm grateful that I am able to control my self not to be very negative or to fight back when I have misunderstanding with my boyfriend.
I'm also grateful that I have managed to no dwell on office dramas.. because I feel like there's nothing to do about it. And it's better to see the positive and be grateful instead!

I’m grateful for so many things in my life even tho I’m stumbling right now.
I can’t explain the amount I have for finding PC years ago when I was so lost , scared and a huge danger to myself. All the people who have helped me learn and grow over the years ? Priceless Everyone here now , we all bond together to lift each other up even when we are dealing with our own struggles. I have never met so many kind people in my life. WC I can’t thank you enough for truly helping me understand PsA, I was reading a lot about it but being able to discuss all the bits of it so relatable is a huge blessing , yes we both take shots we would rather not but we are finding relief. I want to sit here and thank each one of you personally. Today I think tears would take over. But I will ! Because each of you are an important part of my life.

Due to Gods grace, most of my illnesses have been reduced as now I'm able to stop or reduce the dosage of few medications.
I have previously thought my health issues were primarily caused due to my genetics, but I now have realized that my own ego has also caused to increase the severity of my health issues (though i'm also a sensitive person in nature) until now. Meditation helped me see the things as they're, and I'm grateful to my friends and family for supporting me all this time. |

Recognizing and practicing gratitude has transformed my life. There is always something to be thankful for, even if it's a simple thing such as a sunny day.

I'm grateful for my wife who takes care of us so well. I'm grateful as she led us from a not so bright place to the place which is so beautiful and lively. I hope to keep her happy with the smallest of the things

Today, while drinking a cold glass of water, I had such gratitude that I live in such an amazing country where I can turn on the tap and have clean water to drink

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
