This is a precious time: your limitations and worries haven’t yet reached you! As soon as you wake up, before getting out of bed or as a quick meditation before your routine kicks in, give thanks for whatever comes to your mind.
2) Make lists of things you are grateful for.
During the day, take a small break once or twice and make a list of what you like in your life. Taking the time to think and write will help you focus on the positive facets in your life.
3) Give thanks for what you don’t like.
It can seem contradictory or illogical, but it has helped me pass through difficult times quicker and more peacefully believing that it would all work out somehow. You don’t need to know the how, just focus on the result you want. Don’t let your current situation make you lose faith in a happy ending!
4) What could you entail in your gratitude list? Think of your body, every object you use, every facility you need in your daily life. Think of the sun that gives you heat and light, the air you breathe, the Earth you walk on. Thank money for allowing you to exchange goods and services. Include any religious beliefs you might have, thanking God, or the Universe, or any sacred entity you believe in.
5) Don’t forget to thank people that appear in your life.
It is so easy to take everything others do for us for granted. Make a commitment to see it and thank it silently (or even out loud!). We are all inter-connected and we need one another. Just think about one simple act such as having a meal: most probably you didn't grow your own food, or make your own cutlery. It is easy to only use things without even noticing it and who brought it into our lifes!
6) Make a vision board dedicated to gratitude.
It might entail things you are and have or aspects you want to see manifested into your life! It is a very powerful tool, especially if you are more of a visual type of person.
7) Switch your mood.
The majority of people are so used to compare themselves to others and complain and envy others. You allow your own flow of wellness coming into your life by keeping focus on thoughts provoking good feeling in you. Instead of thinking for example: "that's so unfair this person is able to buy a new car when I can´t afford it"; change this thought for something like: "thank you for the new car this new person is buying, there is plenty for everyone and I am next to receive".
8) Say thanks for your dreams.
By starting imagining your dream and ideal life and saying thanks for it, you are a big step closer to manifesting it. So imagine how it would make you feel to be who you want to be and be grateful for it NOW!
9) Change your vibration by thinking and saying thanks all the time, like a mantra. Your thoughts become habits and shape your life. Why not starting shaping a life of happiness and love? Take yourself out the ambient negativity and create for yourself an exciting and joyful life. As Meister Eckhart stated: "If the only prayer you say is 'thank you', that would suffice".
10) As in the morning, take a moment before going to sleep or even in your bed reviewing your day and being grateful for what happened during your day. Reinforce the positive in your life by focusing on what made you feel good. You’ll prepare for a good night sleep and for a fantastic future!

ReplyDeleteAppreciation is a way of getting more from the giver. God loves the praises of His people...
ReplyDeleteADEKUNLE AYOBAMI REBECCA: We have to be thankful at all time. we must not let the problem of life get to us by thinking, we must be up and thankful. appreciation is the way we get more from God.
ReplyDeleteIf it’s possible, then you should make sure you fit some travelling in. Okay, so you might not have the time or the funds to go on a round-the-world trip, but it certainly is a truism that ‘travel broadens the mind’. If you can’t manage that backpacking trip around the globe, then consider going to some far away location where the experience will be totally different — perhaps even life-changing — rather than settling for the usual two weeks in the same destination.

If your job is getting you down, then change it. The only thing preventing you finding something that you’ll enjoy more is you. If only people could put as much energy into finding a new job as they do into moaning about it, then they could make a major change to their lives. Your workplace is where you spend a large proportion of your time, so it’s important to try and be as happy there as you can be.

Practicing gratitude on a daily basis will actually change your brain and create new neural pathways that will allow you to see and experience life through the lens of appreciation, where the positives are everywhere.
ReplyDeleteYour brain is full of neural pathways, many of which were established long before you were consciously aware of your own thoughts, and over time, the ones you have used frequently have ingrained themselves in you.
Frequently used neural pathways like negativity and cynicism are hard habits to curb because they’ve been used for the majority of your life. However, opening the door to gratitude will – if consistently practiced – create new neural pathways and new ways of thinking about and seeing the world.
Perception is reality; change your perception, change your world.

Researchers told a subject group to keep a daily or weekly “gratitude journal” to track all of the things for which they felt grateful and another group with a “cynicism journal” to note all things that annoyed them during the day.
ReplyDeleteThe findings aren’t surprising: Gratitude practices lessened symptoms of depression, as the subject group experienced higher levels of happiness and emotional well-being.
Practicing gratitude and appreciativeness on a daily basis creates a virtuous cycle in the brain, which is linked to the brain’s reward neurotransmitter, dopamine.
Dopamine is the same neurochemical responsible for feelings of happiness each time you “seek” and “conquer” something in life. Having a positive, dopamine-releasing habit like gratitude will lead to you feeling happier every day.

ReplyDeleteOur Gratitude is Proper
ReplyDeleteAnything good that you have has come from God. You didn’t get it by luck, ingenuity, hard work, wit, or wisdom. It is proper to thank God for it.
Our Gratitude is to Be Perpetual
You’re not just simply to be thankful one day a year. One day is not long enough to thank God for all that He’s given you. His blessings come daily. Psalm 68:19 says, “Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loadeth us with benefits...” Every day God has brand-new blessings for you, and every day ought to find you thanking God. Every prayer that you pray ought to be salted with thanks.
Our Gratitude is to Be Pervasive
In everything give thanks. Not in some things, but in all things. Every thing, every area of life is to be a the subject of thanksgiving. There’s so much to be thankful for.
Spiritual things - If you didn’t have anything else but Jesus, you would have enough to praise God for all eternity.
Simple things – You should be thankful for your families, health, food, and even a glass of water. Thank God for the simple things.
Sorrowful things – You can even be thankful for the heartaches, the pains, and the sufferings. Romans 8:28 says, “…All things work together for good…” That is, the thing itself is not good, but it is God Who is working all things together for good.
Do you want to live on the highest level of life? Cultivate the attitude of gratitude always and in all things. I don’t care how bad, difficult, dark, or mysterious things get; take the ultimate step of faith and say, “God, You’re greater than this, and I thank You.” You may say, “Well, I don’t feel like thanking Him.” Don’t thank Him by feeling; thank Him by faith. You’re not told to feel thankful but to be thankful. Nothing shows your faith in the absolute sovereignty of God more than just simply thanking God in every situation.
Our Gratitude Will Be Pleasurable
Thankful people are happy people. “Well,” you say, “if I had something to be thankful for, I’d be happy.” You have missed the point! You do have something to be thankful for. You have life. You have Christ. You may say, “But my circumstance are not good.” The apostle Paul was in prison when he this letter to the Ephesians, yet he was rejoicing in the Lord. Gratefulness turned his prison to a palace, but ungratefulness can turn your palace to a prison. I’m telling you, the attitude of gratitude will change your life.
Our Gratitude Is Possible
Before we are told to give thanks in verse twenty, verse eighteen says, “…Be filled with the Spirit.” Living with gratitude is not a human way to live, not a natural way to live – it’s supernatural. And this kind of thankfulness only comes out of a vital relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit is the substance of it, the source of it, and the strength of it. We are to be filled with the Spirit, and we are to be giving thanks. And that’s the only way we can do it.
Whether you’re in a prison, as Paul was, or enjoying your Thanksgiving Day dinner, you can praise God. I’m telling you it will change your life. Bitterness, fear, self‑pity, ungratefulness, and negativism will go out of your life if you will practice the grace of gratitude. It’s possible when you let the Holy Spirit fill you

Your chants of praises to God to show your gratitude to Him will make Him bless you more.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agreed about this point because God says verily in the holy [Quran 51:56] I did not create the jinns and the humans except to worship Me ALONE. So it our duty to give thanks to Allah in all situation either good or bad, we must not relent on our prayer.

ReplyDeleteYou’re not just simply to be thankful one day a year. One day is not long enough to thank God for all that He’s given you. His blessings come daily.

Every prayer that you pray ought to be salted with thanks.
ReplyDeleteVolunteering makes us feel good about ourselves while we do something practical to help others. Volunteering also inevitably means having greater opportunities to meet other people. You could think about volunteering for an overseas project in a Third World country — which is bound to have an impact on your outlook — or you could simply give up a few hours a week to help an elderly person do their shopping. In any case, realising you are more fortunate than others while you do your charity work will have a profound and lasting effect on you.
ReplyDeletePeople tend to take for granted the good that is already present in their lives. There’s a gratitude exercise that instructs that you should imagine losing some of the things that you take for granted, such as your home, your ability to see or hear, your ability to walk, or anything that currently gives you comfort. Then imagine getting each of these things back, one by one, and consider how grateful you would be for each and every one. In addition, you need to start finding joy in the small things instead of holding out for big achievements—such as getting the promotion, having a comfortable nest egg saved up, getting married, having the baby, and so on–before allowing yourself to feel gratitude and joy.
ReplyDeleteAnother way to use giving thanks to appreciate life more fully is to use gratitude to help you put things in their proper perspective. When things don’t go your way, remember that every difficulty carries within it the seeds of an equal or greater benefit. In the face of adversity ask yourself: “What’s good about this?”, “What can I learn from this?”, and “How can I benefit from this?”
happier: gratitude is different things to different people: among them could be counting your blessings. savouring what life has give you, thanking someone or wondering at the natural world. From: ADELEKE OMOTAYO BAMITALE
ReplyDeleteMake it a daily ritual to take one minute in the morning to think of all the people and things in your life that you are grateful for. You won’t get to everything in one minute’s time, but it’s enough to get you thinking in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteA simple gratitude review will instantly set the tone for the rest of the day and help you focus your attention on other things to appreciate about your life.
ReplyDeleteshowing and expressing appreciation and gratitude beget more grace. appreciating good things around you make your mind healthy and reduces your pains.
ReplyDeleteGive thanks for what you don’t like.
ReplyDeleteIt can seem contradictory or illogical, but it has helped me pass through difficult times quicker and more peacefully believing that it would all work out somehow.

Start giving thanks as soon as you wake up.
