What are you grateful for? What are some ways you practice gratitude?

Gratitude turns what you already have, into Abundance.

Gratitude changed my life 100% Gratitude journals have been great for me, my health, my finances and my relationships completely changed after I started practicing gratitude!
BTW, thank you for sharing this video 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻

You should be grateful for the samll things aswell as for the big things.
Because most people these days tend to be success oriented,
a lot of them are only happy when they achieve huge things.
If you enjoy the small things you will feel better and more satisfied.
A delicious meal, nice weather, time with friends and family or simply
a good night of rest are things that I am grateful for every day.

Let's see what im grateful for. I'm grateful for having a roof over my head, living in a area that isn't filled to the brim with dangerous wildlife and crime rate is low. I'm grateful for being able to eat every day even if it isn't good or if it's only once a day. I'm grateful for having clean water to drink. I'm grateful that both of my parents are alive even if they are commonly away. I'm grateful that i have my own computer, even if it's a tin can and it's louder than a jet, so i can talk with far away friends and play old video games to forget my worries. And i'm grateful that i'm still healthy and have no physical disabilities. That's it. Nothing else is there to name.

I'm grateful for living a life where I never have to worry about where my next meal is coming from.
Thinking about this often helps me out a lot because whenever something does not go well for me I remember that it could have been worse and I'm still alive and well and I instantly feel so much better about whatever happened.

I am grateful for what protects me and the world from misfortune and injustice.
I am grateful for what protects the air from pollution and keeps the rivers healthy and the sea pure and clean.
I am grateful for the weight of that gratitude that is powerful enough to keep the great flowers of the spirits in all the mentioned things shining as long as there are eyes to see them and longer.
I am grateful that I am able to stay in season.

I'm grateful that I have a mathematical intelligence, grateful for knowing longbaord dancing, grateful for being an artist( @Coffee_Does_Art), and knowing a decent amount of knowledge and every other thing such as science and history, also grateful for being a decent writer :)

I appreciate the valuable content - Gratitude shouldn't be overlooked! I discuss gratitude in the last video on my channel as well, in a parenting context. I truly hope videos like ours inspire other people out there to contemplate gratitude & then live it. Thanks again.

My toddler surprisingly actually asked me almost everyday what am I thankful for/grateful for. We also did a thankful tree around Thanksgiving time that she actually still enjoys some points out all the time. We wrote the things on each leaf and stuck those to the branches of the tree.

So how does depression figure into this? Can a depressed person ever escape from this condition on their own by being grateful and slowly interacting with people more? I mean to say is if they watched this video, and tried this method without directly reaching out to someone in a big way not in their plan could they effectively fix themselves without ever talking to anyone specifically about their depression?

[akoosiinhel]

I'm grateful for being alive. I'm grateful for time. For my family being there for me always regardless of how many times I've never put them as priority. (I know.) I'm grateful that I still have a job. That me and my loved ones are still healthy till now. Grateful for food on the table and shelter. Grateful that the universe is giving me opportunities in my career. A chance to grow and improve myself.

I’m a recovering addict and I sponsor about 12 different men. Each morning first thing we do is write a gratitude list to each other and those that have done it on an every day basis have reported benefits and almost every aspect of lies. Even their wives have come to me and told me what a difference it’s made in their relationships.

Early! I'm grateful that I have a friend who has helped me clear my low self esteem once she arrived at my school as a new student. Before that, I didn't have friends.

I am grateful that I live in one of the richest countries in the world (if you are reading this, you probably are too). I am grateful that I have the opportunity to shape my life how I want to through hard work and discipline. I am grateful for the libary in our city, giving me the opportunity to educate myself with an unbelievable amount of wisdom for basically free (u only pay once 3€). I am grateful for having my family, even tho I have no father. I am grateful for my mother who I can be 1000% sure of will never abandon me and only wants the best for me because I learned that all this is not a thing that is given to everyone. 7 billion people, and such a high possibility that I could have been born in africa or in an (extremely) abusive household. We take human rights for granted but there only exist for (where I live) about 70 years. The grandmother of my teacher lived through the 2nd world war, was captured by the nazis and put in a concentration camp. We have the best developed technology ever existed, peace and wealth. This truly is the best time and place to be born in. Even if I am still anxious about the future and my grades could be better and I could do more of this and improve that. But however reality is extremely subjective and so you cannot blame anyone for being not grateful. Because most likely if you experienced and lived through what they did, you would probably think just the same. So don't be to hard on people who are negative either. Just being a little bit kind goes a long way. jup.
