We’ve all been there — feeling stuck, unsettled and unsure of how we feel or the direction we’re heading. We may have spent hours racking our brain for the answers to our questions.
It’s easy to get down on yourself when things aren’t going according to plan, but there are 86,400 seconds in a day and 86,400 chances to choose positive thoughts over negative ones.
Expressing gratitude no doubt has a positive impact on those around us, but there are countless reasons that being grateful increases our own happiness as well.
Each day try writing a few of these moments, date them, and pop them in the jar. When you decide to review these moments is up to you. At the end of the year, monthly or when you’re just having a tough day.
Having an optimistic outlook on life helps us maintain a positive mindset and live gratefully. Expressing gratitude costs nothing, yet has so many valuable benefits associated with it.
