5 simple ways to practise daily gratitude

Gratitude is an important aspect of mindfulness. Being aware of what you’re truly thankful for helps to boost your mental well-being and strengthen your relationships. It’s possible for everyone to practise gratitude on a daily basis, even if it’s just remembering to thank someone that helped you. This will teach you to appreciate positive interactions and will improve your overall outlook on life. It’s also important to make time for those close to you and show them your appreciation. Here are five simple ways to practise daily gratitude.

Be mindful of your interactions

In order to practise mindful gratitude, you need to step back, pause and be aware of your interactions. If someone helps you, even with something small, stop and remember to be thankful. After doing this a few times, you’ll realise you experience more positive interactions on a daily basis than you might think.

Give gifts big or small

Show your appreciation by giving gifts whether they’re big or small. Be mindful about what you choose and opt for more personal presents. What you give someone should depend on their needs and interests, whether it’s swarovski jewellery or a more practical item. The important thing is to consider the recipient, rather than buying something you want yourself. You could even add a personal touch by making your own gifts.

Make time for one another

Gift giving doesn’t have to be material. Make time for the people you appreciate in your life. There are plenty of feel good things to do for your loved ones. This will help to strengthen your relationships. Book a day off to spend helping a family member or friend, and show your gratitude by giving them your time.

Look back to the past

There are many benefits of past reflection. It allows you to learn from the mistakes you’ve made and even remembering hard times will help appreciate the present. Be grateful for all you have achieved and celebrate every milestone along the way. Success and failure go hand in hand, so remember that every attempt you make is an important step towards achieving your goals. Remember the times where other people have helped you in the past as well. Try to make the effort to help someone else on a daily basis in return. Reflecting on the past in this way will motivate you to tackle life’s challenges in the future.

Daily meditation

Meditation is a great way to clear your mind and focus on the positives. It’s an activity you can do daily. You don’t necessarily need any tools or equipment and you can meditate anytime anywhere. You could even try a guided gratitude meditation if you’re new to it. Listen to the instructions and learn how to be thankful every day. Gratitude is a mindfulness activity you can practise regularly. It enhances empathy, boosts your self-esteem, and can even help you sleep better. Practising gratitude doesn’t need to cost time or money, and it will improve your overall perspective on life.

    Love the idea of not just giving things. Giving time is one of the greatest gifts you can give. Especially when you’re busy! It’s so true to never be too busy to notice an act of kindness however big or small either.

Happiness, Lifestyle and all things wonderful.
I always say that the most important thing in life is happiness, therefore that is what I'd like to share.
I'm an honest, kind and happy person who loves sharing my experiences and real stories to help others like me realise they are not alone in this huge world.
I'm a huge supporter of mental health and body positivity and believe we can change the way society is about these topics together.
Just a small girl in a big world trying to be happy!

Here is my unboxing of my first Pause subscription box in April! 

April was all about reading and finding calm through reading. In order to embrace pausing though reading, this month included a task where we make Pompom book marks.

With green yarn it was lovely to follow the guide and find calm whilst making a little pompom bookmark.
