Some while back, I found myself in a situation where I needed to develop a foundation of gratitude before I would know how to proceed. I created the exercise below for myself to meet that need. I hope you find it helpful.
- What are five things I’ve done this week that I absolutely loved?
- What do I love about my home?
- List five things around me right now that I’m glad I don’t have to live without.
- What are three gifts I’ve received from my upbringing?
- Who makes me feel seen in daily life? How they do that?
- What am I grateful for about…
- my financial situation?
- the way I handle a crisis?
- the people I surround myself with?
- What was something beautiful I’ve seen recently? What did I love about it? Is there a particular sensation, or feeling, or idea?
- Go back through my answers to these questions and thank God for every single one of them, individually. They’re worth it, and He’s worth thanking.
