I am grateful

to my Self for doing her best to get through a tough time
for the breakfast my S.O. made
for daylight
that a rough night has ended
for the kind call from a relative to check-in with me

Thank you Universe for the gift of another day of Life

Today I am grateful

that I remained calm during a meeting which made me feel very angry
for my TCM doctor...his knowledge and empathy
for food to eat
that there's always another chance to sleep even after a night of insomnia
for the kindness of strangers...never ceases to amaze and inspire me

Thank you Universe for another day of Life

I'm not suggesting that gratitude is a cure but I do find that it helps. If you try it, I recommend writing down your list in the same notebook/document each day. The next time you're having a dark day...you can pull out your list and remind yourself of all that goodness and hopefully feel better!

You can also share/practice with others in your home or workplace...on a day when someone is finding it hard to feel grateful, you can invite them to read someone else's list.

Yes. This is a part of positive psychology. You can always write a note for future you and say something like this "thank you for doing laundry" and laundry will not be a chore any more or just say "you made wonderful lunch" . It works.

I am thankful today for nice class and wonderful classmates
I am thankful for good psychical therapists

I am greatful for my creative mind.

as I just wrote in another thread, my newest creative writing peace features a gir who bites a football (it's not the main plot, the main plot is to do with abuse) but even come up with a girl who bites a football is a big thing for me.

for peace and quiet

Thank you Universe for another precious day of Life

I am VERY thankful that I found a credit card I thought was lost and now won’t have to cancel it. It was being used for a number of automatic payments, so finding it will save me a good deal of grief.
