In one of my hardest seasons in October 2017, which involved weeks of overwhelm an exhaustion, I heard the podcast I needed to hear - It was Rachel Hollis sharing her daily practice of journaling gratitude. Little did I know, this habit would be the golden ticket that shifted my mindset and gave me hope.
I wish that hope for you…. That you pick up your pen and start writing. It takes 10-15 minutes daily. Writing down 5 things you are grateful for. Doing this consistently can change your mindset and more.
3 Steps to Becoming More Grateful
In times of hardship or stress it might seem difficult to be grateful. But if you really think about it, we all have something to be grateful for. If you engage in only one prayer, let it be simply a heartfelt “thank you”. Here are three easy ways to put yourself in the mindfulness of gratitude.
These 3 steps are simple but do require commitment. But I know for a fact, you will see results.
I encourage you to message me now with the words I AM GRATEFUL @cathylynnvan I also want you to share your progress in a week from now.
Through the power of gratitude, you can wire your brain to be optimistic and compassionate, making you feel good. The more you look, the more you can find to be grateful for. This positivity can extend to those around you, creating a virtuous cycle.
