Today I'm Grateful For..

Last year I kept a diary everyday of the year. At the end of each entry, I would write down one thing I was grateful for that day. Looking back at it makes me appreciate a lot of things that I often forget about.

 

So, today I am grateful for my guinea pig Toffee - who unfortunately passed away yesterday aged 6. I got to spend an amazing 5 and a half years together with her. Thanks, Tof!

 

So, what are you grateful for today?

Hey @statuscaring, nice thread! FYI, I'm not sure if you are aware of this already, but we have a similar thread on gratitude that was done almost two years ago here. We also did a Weekly Well-being activity on creating a gratitude wall here some time ago! Hopefully, you'd enjoy checking both of these threads out (if you haven't done so already)!

 

Anyway, today I'm grateful for the day off so I can kick up my feet and relax for a moment before I go back to studying for my upcoming quizzes for uni this week *sighs*. However, I'm also especially grateful to live a life surrounded by people I love 🙂

I'm grateful for my sibling, who taught me that I should love myself for who I am. I was scared about questioning my sexuality but they taught me that I am perfect in every shape and way and without them. I would be completely lost.

This is a great topic @statuscaring !

 

Today I am grateful for the delicious dinner I had at a really nice Italian restaurant, and the delicious kürtősh we bought for dessert. The warm smell of cinnamon really uplifted my mood!

Today, I am grateful that we got to try something new with one of the family members I care for, even if it didn't work out. Now, we have a better idea of what supports they need right now.

@statuscaring it's awesome to see you spreading the word about gratitude. It can be hard for anyone to focus on this topic when the world seems to be moving faster than us. Thank you for this and reminding me to do so as well :). 

 

Today I am grateful to be able to study whilst having a delicious lunch.

@Milkninja222 I agree, everything is always moving so fast, many tasks to be completed, people to see and things to do, therefore, I find taking this small amount of time out so crucial for my mental well-being each day.

Glad to hear about your lunch and study!

I like this thread idea, so here's mine!

I am grateful for the amount of sport I got to do today! I had to "analyse energy transfers" in Dogeball and Red Rover, seeing as we finished our unit. Then I had humanities, but I missed most of it due to photos needed to be taken. Then I had HPE after morning tea, and then after lunch, I had gym. I feel so much less stressed and upset after that. I love exercise, even if I did start feeling unwell at the end of the day.

Heheh... I may have ranted on a bit, but today has been pretty good!

[R] I am grateful for our dogs. They're great when they're not jumping on the couch after being out in the rain 😄

I'm so glad you made this @statuscaring 

 

You are 100% correct - spending time thinking about what you're grateful for improves mental well-being. I read a study that said even the act of trying to find something to be grateful about is good for your brain! 

 

Today I am grateful to have a super warm gas heater to stand in front of on cold mornings!

I am so grateful for headspace because they taught me about my anxiety and depression and that it is okay to not be okay. They have given me help when I most needed it and have looked after me like a parent would. I don't know where I would be today without them.

I am grateful for the friend I have made this semester at uni. She has helped me and supported me through some really hard and stressful times this semester and I think I would have lost my mind without someone in my life like her who understands what I'm going through because she's going through the same thing. I didn't know friends could exist like her - those that would almost drop anything to be there for you. So today and for the whole semester, I am grateful for her.

I'm grateful for things. The little things, the big things, those things that make me do that little smile I can't help, because those things are nice and I like them.

I'm grateful for all the help my parents have given me and my sister with moving into our new apartment. I am also grateful for our new apartment.

That's so lovely @Jane_Rose, hope the move wasn't too stressful and you're enjoying apartment life.

Today I'm grateful for sunshine. I never realise how much I need sunlight until it's been grey and horrible for a few days. Today I opened up the doors to the house and let the warm air just drift through the house. It was a super mindful, joyous experience.
