This is not a skill but something I do everyday, that I found to be rewarding.
While I'm in bed and before sleeping, I take two minutes to be thankful for the day. I would go from the beginning of the day and be thankful for things I have. In this world where everyone seems to be so focused on achieving new things, creating and being more productive. I believe we all should take some time to be just thankful for what we have.
Have a fridge? be thankful for that. Got you uber to go to places? be thankful. Got money to eat for the day? be thankful. Made a contribution to make life better for other people? be thankful.
Once per day for 2mins, hit the pause button, stop thinking about productivity and being a better version of yourself. Accept who you are and be thankful for it.
The other benefits of this for me personally, is that I train my brain to remember things I did during the day.
- zigzaggy 6y agoGratitude list! I started one a few years ago when life was very very tough and it ended up being one of the things that kept me going. I also made a timeline of my life with all the major events on it. Puts the whole thing in perspective. Both good tools, especially in tough times.
