Appreciating Everyday Life

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. The pandemic should result in a new appreciation for the everyday.

It can be easy to get swept away in the fast lane and forget to stop and show your appreciation for what you do have. A life well lived is one of gratitude and thankfulness. To help you on your gratitude journey, here are 5 ways to have more gratitude in your daily life:

1. Don’t be picky: appreciate everything:

· Gratitude doesn’t have to be saved for the “big” things in life. The habit of being grateful starts with appreciating every good thing in life and recognizing that there is nothing too small for you to be thankful for...

2. Find gratitude in your challenges:

· Gratitude is not only about being thankful for positive experiences. In fact, sometimes thinking about negative or difficult situations can help to really nail down what you have to be thankful for.

3. Express yourself:

· Sometimes it’s not enough to simply keep your gratitude to yourself. You can increase your feelings of gratitude by expressing that same gratitude to the people you care about. Not only does expressing your gratitude for someone make their day a little brighter, but it can do wonders for increasing your own levels of gratitude and happiness in the long run.

4. Meditate:

· When thoughts come, return to your breath without judging. Deep breathing clears your mind and decreases your stress levels, which will allow you to feel happier.

5. Keep a gratitude journal:

· Draw down your positive thoughts to further focus your attention on the subject. People remember pictures better than they remember the words describing them. In other words, pictures are superior to words when it comes to assimilating and recognizing information.
