Try writing down one thing for every letter of the alphabet (a-z) that you’re grateful for. If you want to involve others in your daily gratitude, consider writing thank you notes to those you’re grateful for.
For example, you may find that you accidentally interrupt people sometimes, and then make a conscious effort to change this behavior. For example, you may decide to change your political stance on taxes after you hear someone bring up a few strong points that you hadn’t before considered.
For instance, maybe your job wasn’t really fulfilling, and losing it was a gift in disguise because now you can pursue your true passion.
For instance, you may feel purposeful while volunteering at a soup kitchen to serve lunch to the homeless individuals in your community. The impact of this activity is apparent because it involves feeding those who are hungry and without food.
Some things on your list might include: love, laughter, faith, family, long walks, nature, and more.
If your friend just got the new iPhone and you really like it, take a look at your own phone. If it’s functioning properly, there’s no need to get a new one. If your phone has issues, do some research to see what affordable, reliable phones are currently on the market.
If you’re frustrated because you can’t afford a fun video game that just came out, play some of the games you already own. You bought those for a reason, and you can have fun playing them as well.
