DAILY GRATITUDE

 

GRATITUDE

 

Hello everyone . Welcome back to my self help peaceful life blogs. How are you ? I Hope you are well and having great time after starting to do positive affirmations daily mentioned in my earlier blog. Todays blog is about daily gratitude towards things you are grateful for in your life. Lets get to know about it.

 

1.    What is gratitude, and why is it important?

 

Gratitude is way of expressing you thanks to the universe in return of all the beautiful things you have in your life. It allows us to send our positive feedback into the universe about all the abundance we have. Gratefulness makes our body and mind to be at peace as it creates positive energy within us .It is important because when we show our constant gratefulness and gratitude towards all the beauty and abundance around us this positive energy attract more positivity from universe and nourishes our life .  

 

2.    What are the benefits of gratitude?

 

Daily gratefulness has several benefits –

 

Emotional Wellbeing – When we start practicing daily gratitude our emotional behaviour of mind starts becoming stable due to all the positivity we are creating within ourself by appreciating small things in and around our life. We starts to see positive side in everything . We no longer complain or blame others for their mistakes or their wrongdoings to us , we start to see things from positive perspective, try to step in their shoes . Even if things do not work out we choose to  forgive them and thankful to them for happy moments we spend with them .

 

Physical Wellbeing – I strongly believe in the the theory of vibrations by buddha that is , everything is within and around us are present in form of energy or vibrations . What we choose to send to universe is going to get us back in same energy. If we are sending positive energy is universe we will get positive energy back . Which is going to reflect is form of joy , emotional well being and physical wellbeing. Our positivity is going to reflect on our health. After some time you will notice that you are not going to get sick as often like earlier or their will be visible benefit in health and mood.

 

Mental Wellbeing-

Daily Gratitude will make our mind calm from its positivity which we will start generating within ourself and receiving  from the universe. It helps to elevate our mood ,reduce depression and anxiety. Every emotion or situation will be followed by gratefulness towards every small thing we have or we are experiencing ,which will  reduce  the hate or helps to cope up with the negative emotions like anxiety or panic we are experiencing at that time.

 

3.    How to start Gratitude habit?

 

Forming a new habit is little bit of motivation , excitement ,promise to ourself  to change our life, nervousness ,doubt, determination etc. It can be challenging or difficult to follow through but it we can overcome it by taking small steps rather than setting unrealistic goals which can be hard to follow through. So our motto should be “ one small step at a time” .

Small steps can be like – giving 2-5 min time in morning or bed time routine assigning it to practice gratitude. I usually do gratitude with my daily journal writing which I do every morning or you can do that night before.  Start by incorporating questions into your journal like “what I am grateful for”, “3 things I am grateful for”, “expressing gratitude to beautiful things in my life”. You can also practise after your meditation routine. You can also start by listening to gratitude podcast but it can be passive source. Writing It down or meditation will be active source of positivity.

 

4.    How to be consistent with practising gratitude daily ?

The most difficult thing  about forming new habit is to be  consistency. Habits take long to incorporate and become everlasting daily routine and can be easy to replace in  distractions. Try not to make it overwhelming or lengthy or unrealistic to follow through. As I said earlier we should start by taking small steps or setting realistic goal like for example force yourself to do it only for 2 min daily or writing down only 3 things  or 3 lines you are grateful for then you gradually increase it over time . After doing everyday you will find yourself writing 10 things you are grateful for . Everything  improves with consistency and time.
