Be Grateful: Gratitude is the Best Attitude
There are so many unique things to be thankful for each day.
Implementing a gratitude practice has been an essential part of my journey towards simpler living. My recent mantra is: more joy, less stress. And gratitude helps me achieve that goal!
Having an attitude of gratitude shifts your mindset from “look what everyone else has” to “look how much I have”. There is always something to be thankful for if you take the time to look for it. But, hey…I totally get it, sometimes it can be hard to think beyond the basics. I know you’re already thankful for your family, friends, and health. Me too!!
But after the basics, what are you thankful for? I know sometimes we all have brain block and just can’t come up with anything specific or unique, which is why I’ve put together a list of 100 unique things to be thankful for. I’ve found when I’m in a slump, reading someone else’s gratitude list often inspires me and helps me come up with my own ideas.
So…let’s go! What are you grateful for today?

Honestly I don’t actually recommend making a giant list like this very often. It’s more effective to write down five things you’re grateful for each morning or evening. Think about yesterday. What happened? What are you thankful for? Even if it was a bad day, try to find something that was good and focus on that. Some days the list flows so easily, other days you have to work a little harder.
