Gratitude benefits – how does it work?

Enjoy the little things for one day you may look back

and realise they were the big things ~ Robert Braulk

How does having or finding gratitude help me?
The daily practice of writing about things or people you are grateful for in a gratitude journal encourages you to find things that are positive, uplifting, inspiring and support you.

The benefits of this are:

  • It creates the thinking of abundance and increases your self-worth or self-esteem because you are more focused on those things, that you treasure and appreciate, such as friendships and relationships.
  • You discover you have more personal power over your life than you previously imagined.
  • You can stop being a  victim of your situation and reach out to the love, the joy and the peace of being present in your own space.
  • Allows you to open your heart space and be open to life’s lessons and learnings and in the face of pain and fatigue overcome depression.

Strategies to assist you in finding gratitude:

   Rest: quality sleep is important to improve your mood and mental health. It also affects your memories and those you consider to be happier and positive. It will lift your energy levels as well.

 Socialise:  Get out of the house and reach out to others to counteract feelings of isolation and preoccupation with problems.

     Exercise: As little as 30 minutes per day is enough to relieve tension, lessen stress and improve your mental state.

Change your thinking habits:  celebrate your successes and milestones. they are points of reference to your wellbeing.

Helping others: making a contribution to something larger than ourselves builds self-worth and self-esteem.

Consider medications: Visit your Doctor and get help

Establish positive daily habits: Keeping a regular daily routine regardless of how you feel can lift your spirits and allow you to focus on what’s important to you.

 Summary

Finding gratitude improves our capacity to trust, be more social, be more appreciative and makes space for more friends on a deeper level at a deeper level of connection.

This means you are more able to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, be less envious, have more positive feelings, be more relaxed,  and are more resilient.

Finding purpose and meaning

Finding purpose and meaning in life is one of life’s greatest challenges we all face and it’s important because it gives us drive and reasons to get out of bed in the mornings.

We achieve more if we have a goal or a plan to work towards.

 

life is a challenge
How will you respond?

A plan helps us to focus and bring other skills and experience to bear on what we are trying to do.

It helps to have it down in black and white to as a specific goal to achieve.

It may need a change in how we view the situation or how we might achieve that goal. We may even need to change the reason why we want that goal.

If we are not achieving that goal whatever it is, maybe it’s time to reassess the reasons why you want it and change it to a more compelling reason.

The meaning we want it (whatever the goal is) can change depending on what we attach to it, so it is possible to change the meaning and get a faster outcome or goal.

So focus and intention is important to keeping our purpose in view because our resources are sometimes limited and need to be used effectively.

Now if the goal is too big, break it down to several smaller achievable goals so you get some feedback and confidence and a sense of achievement along the way.

Is any of this making sense to you?

Enough rambling from me.

Takeaway message is…anytime you can change the purpose and meaning to what you want by changing your thinking so what you tell yourself is important. The actions you take are even more critical to achieving your goal.
