Elevate your gratitude practice:
101 Small Things To Be
Grateful For
Do you want to practice gratitude regularly, but struggle to come up with things
to be grateful for?
Have you been practicing for a while but feel as though you’re running through
the motions because you’re always writing down the same things?
If so, you’re not alone. Instead, you’re experiencing a very common problem.
As you’ve no doubt found, it’s pretty easy to be grateful for the big things in life
- such as your health, your family, and your work. The challenge is, this list of
big things soon becomes finite. As a result, your gratitude practice begins to feel
stale... and you stop getting the promised results.
But when it comes to your gratitude practice, it’s not the magnitude of the
things you appreciate that’s important. It’s the depth.
Robert Brault says it best...
“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back
and realise they were the big things.”
When your gratitude practice extends to incorporate the little and the ordinary,
the floodgates of positivity blast open!
No longer are you limited.
Instead, you’ll discover an infinite number of things to be grateful for. It’s a shift
in approach that can literally change your life by transforming the amount of
goodness you consciously see every day.
In this way, gratitude allows you to put your happiness on a tap - inspiring you to
unleash positivity and create a life you love.
You’ve got this.
Now let’s get to the list... feel free to print out - and of course, add your own too.
