It’s easy for me to get caught in a web of negativity especially when everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Recently our fridge broke down, silently in the middle of the night, defrosting everything in the freezer and slowly working it’s way through the fridge section too. Then our dog got sick. And then there was other stuff. There always is. But because I have recently decided to work on my mind as well as my body, I knew that a gratitude list could have a massive impact on my overall wellbeing. So I gave it a go.
I’ve written a gratitude list at the end of the day. And a few during breakfast time with the kids and a cup of freshly brewed coffee. It IS effective both times and anytime really. There’s something powerful about seeing it written down, all those little things that bring you joy, the ones you think don’t matter, that we usually forget to appreciate.
Try it. Don’t even try. Just jot down three things you are grateful for. And then do the same tomorrow.
