I know it's a little late for Thanksgiving, but I feel like some people don't really know how to be thankful for little things. Here are some ideas, and my list of the things I'm thankful for.
-The people in my life -Nature -Creativity -Good people -The ability to have our own beliefs and interests -Self confidence and power To be thankful is, I feel like, a simple task. You can be thankful for the people in your life, or your pet, or even your career or occupation! But, for some people, it is harder to notice, and appreciate little things that come your way. A way you can make being thankful easier, is taking a few minutes, in somewhere quiet, where you won't be disturbed. Then, just sit, eyes closed, thinking and noticing sounds, emotions (letting them come and go), sensations in the body, anything! After a few minutes, go to a friend or a family member, even a pet, and do a random friendly deed. This will make you feel thankful for them, and make them thankful for you! What is the difference between thankfulness and gratitude? Actually, thankfulness is a feeling of being thankful for someone or something, just a feeling. Being grateful, is an action. An action of gratitude could be, writing someone a thank you card for mowing your lawn! Or making breakfast in bed for your parents for helping you with your homework! Anything! Today, I want you to take some time today to acknoledge what you are thankful for, and do an act of gratitude for someone. Anyone! Happy dreaming! Emily
