Every few months I make a list of 100 things I am grateful for. I love the exercise and feel so good afterwards. In fact, I find it hard to stop at 100. This activity makes me so very aware of all the things that have not made it onto the list.
I realize that for many, it may seem difficult or somewhat overwhelming to generate a list of one hundred entries. So I decided to create a "cheat sheet" for anyone who might find this useful. I hope the following prompts can help the process to flow more easily...or at least stimulate some thoughts and ideas.
- 5 people you love
- 5 people you appreciate
- 5 qualities or personality traits you appreciate in others
- 5 places you enjoy spending time
- 10 things you love to do
- 10 foods and flavors you enjoy
- 5 things you appreciate about yourself
- 5 things you are physically able to do
- 10 things you use every day
- 5 songs or pieces of music that have touched your life
- 3 great books
- 3 favorite movies
- 5 things you feel proud of
- 5 moments you would not want to forget.
- 5 sounds or words that are beautiful to your ear
- 5 people, places, and things you find beautiful
- 5 people, places, and things that make you feel comfortable
- 3 intangible aspects to your life
- and Life itself.
With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away, many people have gratitude in mind this month. Check out The Gratitude Habit Journal and Workbook and consider purchasing one for yourself and/or for someone you know.
