Add GRATITUDE Into Your Life

"When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully." - Steve Maraboli,?Life, the Truth, and Being Free

Adding Gratitude into Your Life

Saying thank you is something that is drilled into all of us at an early age.

How many times did your mom nag at you to write thank you notes after you opened your birthday presents?

Yet, because we do it so often, it sometimes becomes automatic.

We rarely think about what being grateful really means.

How does gratitude make a difference in your life? Why is it so important?

In this article, I look more closely at the significant role gratitude plays in transforming our lives.

It can touch every element of your being, from your social and working life to your mental and physical health.

It may seem impossible to think that letting thankfulness into your life can be so revolutionary, but it can make you happier, improve your relationships and even make you more successful.

Are you ready to learn more about the transformative powers of thankfulness?

Then read on to find out all you need to know.

What Does Gratitude Really Mean?

When you think of the word “gratitude” what comes to mind?

Do you automatically think of saying thank you when someone holds the door open for you? Or feeling grateful when somebody gives you a birthday gift?

While those things do come under the gratitude umbrella, this is not the kind of gratitude I am talking about in this article.

Here, I am talking about the transformative type of thankfulness that can totally change your life and give you a whole new perspective on the world.

Gratitude – Just A Fashionable Word?

Even if you give the idea of gratitude a little more thought than the average person, you may still fail to grasp the importance of being thankful.

We hear a lot these days about being grateful – so much so, that gratitude is starting to become nothing more than just a buzzword with little or no meaning.

If the whole idea of being grateful has lost all relevance to you, it is time to look again, go back to the drawing board, and redefine the meaning of the word.

Not Just for Holidays and Gifts

If you are in danger of only linking thankfulness with holidays and gift-giving, it is time to look again at the entire concept of gratitude.

So, what does it really mean to feel grateful?

Living a life filled with gratitude means that you are choosing to spend your time focusing on the things that you appreciate most.

That does not mean that you must block out any difficulties that you encounter or problems that you are facing.

However, it does mean that you can learn how to approach such difficulties from a whole new viewpoint.

Feeling appreciative can soften you and soothe your mind.

It helps you to connect with the things and the people around you, both large and small, that all too often we end up taking for granted.

The key to a thankful and transformed life is to stop looking at the MASSIVE things and focus on the LITTLE ones we must be thankful for.

Often, the challenges we face can feel entirely overwhelming and they become the center of our universe.

Yet, that is where unhappiness lies.

Often, the biggest problems are the ones that we can do little about or that take the longest time to put right.

Spending all your time focusing on these things can only lead to unhappiness and dissatisfaction.

?Instead, implement some gratitude.

Overlook those huge issues you’re trying to overcome.

Instead, narrow it down to the little blessings that you have experienced daily.

Something as simple as a sunny day or receiving a card from a loved one in the mail can make you feel grateful, and when you’re feeling thankful, your whole body responds positively.

You feel lighter, warmer, and happier.

Expressing gratitude changes your outlook and makes you feel better, even in the face of challenges.

Simply put, gratitude helps us to see that not everything is awful all the time.

Even in times of trouble, there are little sparks of light that can make you feel better, even if only for a while.

?However, developing gratitude is a skill, and like any skill, it takes practice to get it right.

That is why learning how to introduce a thankfulness practice into your life is so important!

You can experience the many and varied benefits it brings!!

It Starts With YOU!
