The life we live is just a gift for us, now the one thing we always says " yar bas kisi tarah ji rahe hain". Why dont we realise that we are human and should spend the life with full of joy and happiness.... There are some tips on gratitude may help you in making your life special.
Gratitude keeps us centered and wards off jealousy and negativity.
Here are five little things we can do each day to nourish our sense of gratitude:
1. Choose your friends wisely. If you want to be more grateful, spend time with grateful people. Spend time with positive people to be more positive; joyful people to be more joyful; critical people to be more critical; irritated people to feel more irritated.
If you strive to be spiritually strong, supportive, empowering, intelligent, energetic, and positive, seek those characteristics in others.
Help your friends develop more positive traits by living those positive traits yourself. Know what kind of friends will help you nurture your soul, and set out to find some.
2. Help your friends cultivate gratitude. Before you say anything about a friend's situation, remember that everyone's situation is unique. I've seen it happen to myself and to my friends. They'll be perfectly happy until someone tells them they're being mistreated. Suddenly, they're upset.
Don't let your friends wield such power, and work to avoid wielding such power yourself.
Day by day, hour by hour, make a goal to stop complaining about your life. Make a pact with your friends to cut the complaints from your conversations. 3. Give the gift of gratitude to Parents. One of the most lasting contributions we can make to parents is to help them understand that we don't deserve anything and everything just because we live and breathe.
4. Say "Thank You." Whom in your life do you appreciate? Let them know, whether it's your mom, your dad, your friends, daycare provider or the helpful woman behind the cosmetics counter.
You don't have to spout some corny line. A heartfelt "thank you" often does the trick. Make it a habit and your attention will suddenly turn to all the things people do for you.
Write thank you notes regularly - not just after a gift exchange - and be mindful of all the ways you show your appreciation by the things you do in return.
Another idea: Spend 15 minutes writing a letter to your loveble one. In this note, tell them how much you love them, why you're thankful for them, and all the ways they have enriched your life. This can be something you give them now or after they have grown.
5. Be mindful of the little things. Today, strive to be aware of all the aspects of your personal, professional, and family life for which you are thankful. Take a few minutes today to appreciate nature. Go for a walk and notice only those things that are beautiful. Whether you focus on the stars above, a distant mountain range, or the cottonwood tree in your backyard, try to notice the details. Give thanks for the beauty that surrounds us.
Regardless of whether you record these items, spend some time each day to focus on the little things in your life that make each day special.
Together, let's work on focusing on what we have - not on what we don't have - and all the ways we can help one another have more gratitude for the gift of life. Thanks and regards. |
