How to Live the Good Life
This is something that triggers a moment of gratitude. It can be a person, a specific time, an object etc. and whenever you see it you take a moment to reflect on all the things you’re grateful for.
We all want to be happier and live more fulfilling lives. The question is: How? We pursue success, relationships, hobbies, etc. but what do you do when it still feels like something is missing? The answer is in your thoughts.
A growing body of research has found that practicing grateful thinking is key to being happier, healthier and having better relationships.
How Far You Have Come
If you want to be happy you need to forget about the negative things in the past, When you take time to remember the challenges you’ve overcome, it can heighten your feelings of gratitude in the present. The key is to focus on being grateful for the progress you’ve made instead of resenting the ways difficult times have held you back.
To Start a Gratitude Journal
I love The Five Minute Journal because it gives you questions that only take 5 minutes a day to answer and realize all of the wonderful things in your life. Keep it by your bedside to use first thing in the morning or before you go to sleep. Or, bring it with you to work and fill it out as a midday happiness boost.
Being Thankful is Sexy
It is found that couples who frequently show gratitude toward each other have greater satisfaction in their relationships because it creates a feedback loop of trust and intimacy.
Think about it: would not you feel more loved if your partner told you on a regular basis why they are grateful to be with you? Plus, the more you reflect on the amazing qualities your partner has, the happier you are to be with them.
The Big G Share Effect
That sharing your positive experiences with others strengthens your relationship with them. This is because emotions are contagious, so when you are happy it makes other people feel good too and those feelings then create a sense of togetherness that helps you connect on a deeper level. invite your friend to join you in practicing gratitude by sharing what you’re grateful for with each other.
Have a Gratitude Totem
The hardest part of practicing gratitude is remembering to do it. This is why I use a helpful tool called a gratitude totem. This is something that triggers a moment of gratitude. It can be a person, a specific time, an object etc. and whenever you see it you take a moment to reflect on all the things you’re grateful for.
