Gratitude Challenge: feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it!
- write a thank-you note. you can make yourself happier and nurture your relationship with another person by writing a thank-you letter expressing your enjoyment and appreciation of that person's impact on your life. send it, or better yet, deliver and read it in person if possible. make a habit of sending at least one gratitude letter a month. once in a while, write one to yourself.
- set aside time to meditate. mindfulness meditation involves focusing on the present moment without judgment. although people often focus on a word or phrase (such as "peace"), it is also possible to focus on what you're grateful for (the warmth of the sun, a pleasant sound, etc.).
- count your blessings! at the end of the day, write down three to five things from the day for which you feel grateful. even a negative situation can have a positive effect somewhere.
Today I wrote a thank-you note! I loved what they said about how lifting someone else up can make you happy! I definitely agree with that! It really does strengthen relationships and it's so fun to brighten someone's day :)
