Ways to Be Grateful for What You Have [ What an ideal person do]
This is something you can do every weekday.
In your day job, I work nine to five. At the beginning of every day, I plan what I intend to accomplish.
Before I do, I have some morning questions I ask myself in my gratitude journal.
Some examples:
- What am I grateful for?
- Who needs me at my best today?
- What situations might stress me out today?
- What can I do to mitigate this stress?
The most important question for me is the first one, which is “what am I grateful for”?
I ask this question every morning, 5 days a week. I try to come up with new questions every day. It can be hard after a while but it’s well worth the effort.
In my daily journal, I record all of the things I am grateful for. I typically review it once per month and transfer them to my gratitude list. Many of them are variations of the same thing but sometimes something completely new springs to mind.
Always make careful decisions. Weigh out your options in decision-making.
8 Tips for making decisions
- Don’t let stress get the better of you.
- Give yourself some time (if possible).
- Weigh the pros and cons.
- Think about your goals and values.
- Consider all the possibilities.
- Talk it out.
- Keep a diary.
- Plan how you’ll tell others.
Live, Learn, laugh, and love. Never invest your time in hating other people.
The Power of the Four L’s: Live, Learn, Laugh, Love
Power exhausts itself in howls if it is not balanced with a healthy life, open-mindedness, a good sense of humor, and the ability to love despite pain and tragedy.
But when it is balanced with these forces, cosmic power becomes manifest and the howl becomes a hero’s call, a call to adventure.
Live
“Life is short. Kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly, and forgive quickly.” ~ Paulo Coelho
The call to adventure is quiet at first. It creeps up on you. And it comes as a whisper from a poem, a novel, or a movie that moved you in a profound way. Also, it comes as a slant of light through a cracked window. It comes as a waft of petrichor in a thirsty desert.
Learn
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Learning only requires a little open-mindedness in the face of ignorance. But first, we must admit our ignorance. We must relish in the absolute fact that we simply do not know, and then get busy trying to know.
So what if we can never truly know? Knowledge is more of a path with many breaks than a straight line from point a to point-b. It’s the infinite points between that count. It’s the journey that’s the thing.
Laugh
“Life is a matter of oscillation. Life is vibration. The question is: how are you going to interpret that. Is it tremble, tremble, tremble; or is it laugh, laugh, laugh?” ~ Alan Watts
Laughter is more powerful than laughter in the face of that which seeks to destroy you. Shine even as your soul is breaking under the heavyweight of struggle.
Allow your indomitable sense of humor to blaze through the cracks of your having fallen apart and come back together.
Love
“Close your eyes. Fall in love. Stay there.” ~ Rumi
Being in love is both easy and difficult. It’s the difference between being loved and pigeonholing love into the box of expectation. Love others, let others love, and then let love go. Do this again and again, and the ability of proactive forgiveness will not elude you.
Do not compare yourself with others.
Want to stop comparing yourself to others: what should you do?
- Be aware of your triggers and avoid them.
- Limit your time on social media.
- Avoid comparing other peoples’ “outsides” to your own “insides”
- Remind yourself that “money doesn’t buy happiness”
- Count your blessings.
- Use comparison as motivation.
- Focus on your strengths.
I hope by following these ways we may find a peaceful life.❤️
