Gratitude in a Busy World

There is a quote floating around the internet that says “Only in America people trample each other for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have.” Thanksgiving should not be the only time we stop to think about what we are grateful for. However, it is a good time for a reminder. Finding happiness amidst the struggle of everyday life is a challenge. Sometimes we get so caught up in what is going on around us that we stop to think of the good things in our life. It is so easy to become negative in this fast-paced world. But if we take a moment to reflect on what we truly should be thankful for, what we do already have, and the love around us we will find that it is not that bad.

30 Days of Gratitude

Use this section to write one thing every day that you are thankful for. It can be as simple as enjoying 5 minutes to yourself with a cup of hot coffee! Little things and big things both have an impact on our positivity levels.

People I am Thankful For

Take a moment to recognize those special people in your life. Take it a step further and reach out to them and let them know how you are thankful for them.

My Strengths

Too many times we focus on our areas that we think need improvement. But we tend to overlook the many things we excel at. It may seem a little boastful at first but stick with it. You deserve praise!

Things That Make me Laugh

Laughter truly is the best medicine. Make a list of things that make you laugh and reference it when you are looking for a little pick me up!

Future Things I Will Be Grateful For

We all have things we are looking forward to. Is it a vacation you have planned for later down the road, is your little one celebrating a milestone birthday? Think of things that are coming up that you are looking forward to.
