Gratitude?

Hi, Im grateful for hot chocolate on a cold day. I am grateful for cold days, candy and sunshine. I am grateful for friends and family and fun activities. I am mostly grateful for all the wonderful things life has to offer including interactive laser tag and mini golf

I am grateful

- that my significant other and I are safe and uninjured
- for people who responded to a traumatic situation with supportive messages
- for the pretty Happy New Year card I received
- for my new animal
- for the patience and support of my significant other during a very stressful time

Thank you Universe for the gift of another day of Life. I'm doing the best I can.

I’m grateful to those who post (or “click”) a hug to those in pain (even if the post is “triggering” ....which I often do ) I’m not immune to being triggered by other people’s posts

Hey HopefullyLost1211,

Kudos on your gratitude journal. It reminds you of the good stuff going on in your life.

Here's something else to try. I see gratitude as looking back at the good stuff. I also add a hope journal. The hope journal looks at things you want to happen. It could be something as simple as I hope I can get out of bed to I hope I get the new job.

Give it a try, if you like.

Thanks for the tip bipolarsojourner. If you feel like it, you could start a hope thread and the rest of us will join you! How does it work? One hope per day? More?

The gratitude list of 5 each day is actually an idea I got from positive psychology research. Can increase a person's subjective level of happiness by ~ 25% over time.
