What is gratitude, and how to practice gratitude?

For those who aren't familiar with Gratitude, the feeling of gratitude is a deep appreciation for all that we have in life. It's not just about counting your blessings but also meaningfully and sincerely appreciating them. For example, one person can be grateful for having a roof over their head, while another might be grateful they can eat three meals daily.

Gratitude has been shown to benefit our physical health and mental well-being. In addition, studies show that practising gratitude can lower stress levels, improve sleep quality and strengthen relationships with others. In this article, you'll learn about gratitude's science and how it can improve your life!
What is gratitudeGratitude is a positive emotion we feel when focusing on the good things in our lives. It's not about focusing on what you don't have but appreciating what you do. Gratitude can be practised in many ways and every day, even if it only takes a few seconds to pause and reflect on all the great things in your life. When we practice gratitude, we live happier lives because we feel more satisfied with our current situation.
How to practice gratitudeThe best way to practice gratitude is by keeping a gratitude journal. This can be done in several ways, like writing down your grateful thoughts on paper or typing them up and saving them as a text document. Alternatively, you can use an app like [the Gratitude App], which allows you to record your experiences and emotions over time in the form of photos and videos. Having a gratitude journal allows you to reflect on what makes you happy - whether it be a memory from the past or something extraordinary happening right now!

Here are some other ways that I've found helpful in maintaining my sense of gratitude:
  • Keeping track of good things that happened each day (happy moments count too)
  • Putting positive affirmations around my room/house (writing positive messages on sticky notes). This helps me see myself as someone who has good things happen to them every day :) You could also write these affirmations down in your gratitude journal at the end of each day if they're not already there.
  • Looking back at previous entries when I feel low - helps remind me how far I have come since then, so I can look forward again with hope rather than dwelling on the past.

Conclusion
I hope this article has helped you learn more about what it means to be grateful. Gratitude is a powerful tool that can change your life, but only if you practice it. So what are you waiting for? Get started right now!

According to Harvard University, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness in positive psychology research. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.

Are You Making These Common Mistakes Keeping You from Being Happy?

Being happy is a choice.
​
You can decide how your day will go every minute of the day. You can choose to be sad and depressed, or you can choose to get up out of bed and say, "today is going to be a great day!" It's common to wake up in the morning feeling unmotivated, but that doesn't mean anything. Your life isn't as bad as you think; you're in a warm bed. So get up, grab that coffee (or tea) and start your day by making choices that will make you happy!

It's important to remember that you can choose how you feel about anything at any time. So if you're feeling down, it's time to start making positive choices like "I'm going to be happy." Or even better, have something positive to say about someone else or compliment them.
​
There are many ways to choose happiness every day. For example, you can choose not to let other people's actions affect your mood or behaviour. You can choose things that make you happy instead of just doing what others want. You can focus on the positive instead of the negative. And you can be grateful for what you have instead of dwelling on what you don't have.
Getting angry and wasting energy doesn't do anything but make you unhappy. Anger is a negative emotion that doesn't solve anything and can lead to regret. Instead of getting angry, try to be patient with yourself and others. It's not about what happens in your life that makes you happy, but how you react to it.
Baby steps are a great way to get started on the road to happiness. Keep learning how to be happier every day. You can do it! It

Where do you start?
One way to start becoming happier is to focus on the things you are grateful for. So every day, take a few minutes to think about the things that make you happy or bring you joy. This could be your family, friends, pets, hobbies, or anything else that brings you happiness. By focusing on the positive aspects of your life, you can shift your perspective and start seeing the good in your life.
Another way to start becoming happier is to take care of yourself. This means ensuring you get enough sleep, eat well, exercise, and take time for yourself. When you are well-rested and nourished, you will have more energy and a better mood. Exercise, in particular, has been shown to positively affect mood and can help reduce stress and anxiety. Self-care melts into Self-Love. 
​
Finally, try to surround yourself with positive, supportive people. Spend time with friends and family who lift you up and make you happy. Avoid negative people or situations that bring you down. By focusing on the positive and surrounding yourself with supportive people, you can become happier.

"In the Silence of My Mind"

"In the Silence of My Mind"

In the silence of my mind
I struggle to find
A sense of peace and calm
Amid a mental storm

But I will never give up
I will not give in
I will keep pushing ahead
And let the light shine within

I will reach out my hand
And surround myself with love
For I know that I am strong
And I am worthy of

The care and support I need
To heal and grow and thrive
I will not let my mental health
Define who I am

I am more than my confusion
I am full of hope and grace
I am on a journey
Towards a brighter, better place.

Self-love, dear self-love
A precious gift to give
It's time to nurture ourselves
And let our spirits live

For we are worthy of love 
And deserving of compassion 
It's time to be gentle with ourselves 
And let go of the self-doubt and ration

We are beautiful, inside and out 
And we have so much to share 
It's time to cherish ourselves 
And let our confidence and light flare

So here's to self-love, dear friends 
And to choosing ourselves every day 
For when we love ourselves 
Happiness and love come our way.
