Reviewing What Works For Incorporating Gratitude

On this 30th Day of Thanks Living, I choose to review what I did this month.

30 Days of Thanks Living Table of Contents is below. As I put this list together, I noticed that I am missing some posts. Oops. I forgot to put them on here. Once I figure out how to backdate a post, I will put those in the Table of Contents and on my blog.

REVIEW. Here are three things I learned from doing this series.

ONE. Everyday Consistency. No matter how much I talk about gratitude, I am never done with it. I always need the reminder through my calendar, FitBit or Gratitude App. Being grateful (for me) is not a natural state of being especially during the extra busy or hurting times.

· Read Track Gratitude On The Calendar. This tells how your calendar can be useful gratitude tracker.

· Read Making Gratitude Permanent. This tells how I use my FitBit to remind myself to express gratitude.

· Read Apps Make it Easy to Document Gratitude. This post tells you the app I like and still use on a daily basis.

TWO. Fun & Creative. Gratitude reminders and practices don’t have to be dreary and boring. Instead they can add beauty and play to our lives. In fact, these type of activities will most likely be the ones that last.

· Read about two games I came up with: Gratitude BINGO Game Conversation Starter and Searching is A Good Way To Review Gratitude.

· Read these two posts that talk about fun ways to bring gratitude into our lives: Sing Your Way Into Gratitude And Gratitude Movies Give us Ideas.

· Read Use Christmas Cards To Send Gratitude. We can express gratitude in a multitude of natural ways.

THREE. New ideas. The internet and books offer a myriad of ideas. This is especially helpful for me as I can get bored with routine. Learning these new practices enrich my gratitude thinking and actions.

· Read Smell Your Way To Gratitude. This was a novel idea and I’m still enjoying it a lot.

· Read Slow Down To Ramp Up Gratitude. Sometimes the best way to find gratitude is by doing nothing.

· Read Professional Gratitude Journal Encourages. While I haven’t started this one yet, I know it will make a difference.
