A daily gratitude practice can be immensely beneficial to your well-being but maybe—if you’re like me—it never really clicked when you tried it. Even though you were journaling about your gratitude, you didn’t feel a strong enough impact in your life to continue the practice for the long term. Recently, I accidentally discovered a key element of gratitude that I wasn’t doing. This small change made a huge impact on my life, and I want to share that with you in this session.

Today I am grateful for a warm bed, playing with my cat (she hates it when I poke her pink belly), the sun shining in the window, and waking to the sounds of birds chirping.

I love the idea of sharing my gratitude with someone else. And writing things down has always helped me remain accountable. Today I am grateful for a job and coworkers who help me stay positive and motivated. Not everyone, especially people my age, can say they love going to work. But I am lucky to be surrounded by friends and coworkers who have lifted me up through a hard time and have helped me remember I am full of potential, energy, value and much more.

Im grateful for finally finding happiness within myself without the help of another person.
I learned that I dont need another person to fulfill my happiness and i can do it all on my own. :) i hope anyone reading this can do the same and realize you only need to make yourself happy and at the end of the day your relationship with yourself is all that matters.

I’m living independently and will share my gratitude with my Aura family. I know it’s not morning but I wanted to start my first reflection now. After spending most of the day doing deep cleaning and organizing in my apartment and taking time out to go for a bike ride, I realize how grateful I am to have this place all to myself in such a beautiful part of this country!!!

I have always known that expressing gratitude can improve one mood, as well as the individual who you are grateful for, but even more than that, with each expression, affection and self worth can increase through everyone even remotely involved. Making the one, even dismal act, become great! Kind of like how one domino can tip the balance between boredom and wonder.

I teared up a little bit after this. I never realized how often I don’t take the time to appreciate or show gratitude towards the people in my life or even for the littlest things. I never stopped to think that do they know how grateful I am that they’re there for me or being grateful for my own accomplishments and how far I’ve come up until this point. Am I able to express my gratitude and share it with others? Am I able to take the time to pause and reflect on what (big or small) I am grateful for? This session really opened my eyes and I’m grateful for hearing this ❤️

Gratitudes
I have been challenging myself to write at least three different gratitude statements each morning for about two weeks now. From the beginning, I chose to share them with my partner. Initially, I needed the accountability, for him to hold me accountable to myself. Now, in just two weeks, I am writing more than three statements each morning. I share them with him because they are intimate and powerful reflections of my growing and changing self. We are on this journey of life together, more tightly woven together than ever, and sharing this collection of pieces of myself with him cements our connection to each other.

Ways to speak of gratitude
I always think I would like to share my gratitude but am unsure of how to do so. I will start by writing a statement beginning with “Today I am grateful for...” & posting it on the mirror so others can see it. Tomorrow I will begin with “Today I am grateful for my family.”

Easing my struggle with gratitude
I’m seen as Type A, intense, etc. and trying out meditation, listening to life coaching sessions, and making some other changes to try to find some peace and happiness at a time when there is a lot going on to bring me down. I hear a lot about gratitude. Quite frankly, it often sounds trite and even phony to me. I’m in a bad or sad mood, and I’m supposed to think about what I’m grateful for. Uh, no. It often makes me feel annoyed. Somehow, this session didn’t have that affect. It resonated with me in a way that feels possible. Not sure I can commit to every day, but I want to start with once a week or so and build on it. Thank you for helping me to find gratitude! It is the thing I am grateful for today.

What a great idea, not just writing down what I am currently Grateful for but sharing it!! In the past I always considered my Gratitude journal as personal, but making it known could/should be a game changer! Bringing more focus & Energy to what I am already happy about by having two minds vibrating on the same positive ideas is simply brilliant!! I am Grateful for the wonderful ideas I get from Aura! They help me live a Healthier, Happier, more Authentic life! ❤️☮️🍀

This is something I have done from time to time, depending on my situation at the moment. I do journal here on Aura and many days I read what I have journaled to my husband and share it that way. Perhaps handwritten is a better way to do it! I will give it a try. Let your light so shine....!

Turning sorrows into gratitude
Today I am grateful for the light that peaks through the shut blinds in my bedroom. I am grateful for them gradually filling my room with light as I get up in the mornings to open them. It’s the first thing I do most mornings and makes me feel like I’ve completed a task for the day. Simply getting up to open those blinds and letting in the rays of light creates a reason for me to get up and start my day. And that’s why I’m grateful for them, because some days are harder than others and all I want to do is go back into a deep slumber but seeing those shut blinds knowing the light is behind them gives me reason to get up.

Marisa offers great ideas on sharing gratitude in a very personal way
I would add that Aura offers a gratitude journaling tool, available to all users right on the home page of the app. I used it daily when I began using Aura one year ago, but got out of the habit of journaling my gratitude there. I will take Marisa up on her idea of offering my handwritten gratitude daily...I know who will be seeing and sharing this each day, and I truly hope that my wife, Jill, understands WHY I'm leaving this handwritten message of gratitude for her each day. She means the world to me, and I couldn't even cope each day without her by my side.

WOW!
I’ve been writing in the gratitude journal on the app but I think sharing the practice with my husband will deepen my gratitude practice AND improve our marriage. We get up at different times so this is my plan: I’ll put our journal somewhere DH will see it before he leaves. He’ll write his entry and put it in our bedroom on my pill case. I’ll see it as soon as I wake up, write my entry, and put it back where he’ll see it the next morning. It seems a little complicated but it’s the best solution I can come up with. Has anybody tried something like that? Did it work for you?

I have been documenting something I am grateful for every day this year since I started this mindfulness journey, and it has been a truly wonderful experience. As the year is coming to a close, I have begun reflecting on how I can continue to promote mindfulness in the new year. This meditation gave me the ideas of actually physically writing down my gratitude each day, and where possible, sharing my gratitude with another person. Sharing what we are appreciative of with the people in our lives is such a fantastic idea because it means that we are actively living out the goals of mindfulness. It also allows us to give another person hope and, by modelling gratitude, we can encourage those we love to develop a resilient and healthy mindset too.

Sharing Gratitude
I have made it a tradition to spend the last few days of the year in reflection. There were times in the past that I wrote down the distressing events of the year, wrapped them in my very best gift wrapping paper and burned them on the last day of the year, clearing the way for new events and opportunities in the new year. However, this morning I awoke pondering what my new year would be like if I focused only on what I was grateful for. If I end my year in gratitude, do I open the door for even more positive in the coming year? I decided that I would experiment with this notion, so today I choose to focus on gratitude. Among the many things that I am grateful for is the Aura community, for listening without judgement, supporting and encouraging me along my journey to continue to grow and evolve. I am grateful for the developers of this app. Aura and the Aura community have made a wonderful difference in my life. (Of course, you will have to stick with me for the entirety of 2019 to see if my notion works. 😉). Thank you, each. 💫🙏💫

Today I Am Grateful For...
Waking up to my husband and pets. I woke up to a mess in the house, husband sleeping in, pets crying. I enjoyed it though, I felt needed and wanted. I had a purpose. I let my husband sleep in so he can rest, took care of my dogs, cleaned the house, and trying to take care of myself now.

Gratitude Practice
Starting each day with writing down...Today I am grateful for ...and sharing it with someone else could have a positive impact on your day and their day.

Gratitude
While I am a full-time business woman/owner - I am also a writer. Most days I don’t have the time to focus on my book. So this speaks to me in more than one way, it will not only appease the craving and burning desire to write, but will provide me with an opportunity to be thankful and giving to my husband every day - at the start of each day - further summoning peace and joy before the hectic days which typically ensue. So grateful for this coaching.

Attitude of Gratitude
It has been proven that having an attitude of gratitude gives us a healthy and positive mindset. In this life coaching session, Marisa gives us another way to practice gratitude if we aren’t already on a daily basis. She suggests writing, “Today I am grateful for...” on a piece of paper and placing it somewhere where others in your household can read it. If you live alone, try typing what you are grateful for on the community board here on Aura or even on your Facebook page. Because I want to set a positive tone for my day ahead, I think of a few things to be grateful for before I even get out of bed in the morning. Since beginning to do this about three months ago, I have noticed a great change in my life. Yes, there have days where it has been harder than others to be in a grateful mood. On those days, I have been grateful for having another day to find peace in my life or for even having my heart beating to keep me alive. There is always something to be grateful for! Having an attitude of gratitude has a domino effect in our lives. Once we think of things to be grateful for, the more things we will find to be grateful for! It’s a winning attitude to have! Adopt an attitude of gratitude into your life if you haven’t already. You will truly see your blessings magnify! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Gratitude Practice
Expressing gratitude each day increases happiness. It also cultivates a healthy mindset. Start your day with writing down on a piece of paper..Today I am grateful for... Then decide who you want to share your note of gratitude with. If you can’t think of anyone you want to share your gratitude note with, type something in the Aura community. Starting the day with gratitude helps to set the tone for your day.It helps change your mindset from focusing on what is lacking to seeing your life filled with an abundance. I keep a little notebook out which throughout the day I will write down things I am grateful for. Today I am grateful for waking up feeling mentally and physically good. What are you grateful for today?

Thank you Marissa
Because I have no one to share my hand written gratitude note to someone in my house every day, I have the chance to type after handwriting in a gratitude journal I am able to record & share here. Any comments from anyone: Marissa, fellow members of aura and all those looking to be their best selves gratefully welcomed. This is difficult for me. I have had my world turned upside, I am depressed, gaining weight, want to sleep all day and not be my responsible self. First mistake, inviting a darling man who I’ve known For 30 years. He had become homeless. Bless the food stamps, but two years... no income, no SSDI. He is broken and frightened and I know it is not up to me to fix him. He is wrapped in victim hood as if he were walking a runway in France. Suffering from clinical depression all my life it is not always easy for me to stay my normal positive self especially with the pandemic. Meditation w/brainwaves is a great start prior to Aura. Today I am grateful to have working early enough to walk my dogs before the heat. I am preparing for my double shift. I understand I have a new student today and for that I am also grateful. Considering I am usually given the more difficult upper management students, and he has been rejected by three other female tutors for being a male chauvinist pig, but I am excited to make his acquaintance and learn his career and expectations and thoughts. I hope I am doing this right. Any positive responses, suggestions orConstructive criticism is welcome. I am not one for social platforms, but I am looking forward to meet my fellow travelers utilizing the Aura application. Namaste, Judith

Yesterday I was more grateful than usual. I was able to put my trauma beside me And express my appreciation for my environment and the people in it. The best way for me to share gratitude is probably not to write it down and share it but write it down for myself and express it through my actions.

Hand Writing notes
Writing with pen and paper. This is something that is such a grand Idea. In this day of digital media we are mired in too much information that sometimes causes a traffic jam in our thinking. Simply writing a note on paper takes out the jam and replaces it with fresh 🌿 herbs that enhance our senses❤️

I learned a lot from living and working with Swedes for the last three years that I think I’ve changed quite a lot. I learnt the best gift you can give yourself is how to be alone when alone, and fully present with others. Namaste

Saying thank you out loud to another
Feels good, and feels kind in the moment and I never have someone not accept it - it nit like they are surprised or caught off guard. I find there is a kindling of a flame of relatedness some fresh is shared. The space of gratitude is inclusive and reinforcing generosity.
J
Jkt
Sharing gratitude
Being in a state of gratitude I find is the open hearted receiving giving/ expression - whether I speak write sense fleetingly or stumble into “thank you”. Gratitude has relief, a happy arrival, a sense of momentary completeness and “all is well”. I am more about the mood but the listing down or acknowledgment certainly gives energy and momentum. How can I be stingy when gracious or expressing gratitude. Let it go! Let it unfurl!
J
Janna
Sharing gratitude
Stopping each day and taking inventory of my day to day is very important to me in my recovery & self care! I can find things to be grateful for each and every day! It really helps me to keep a positive attitude when I can name all my blessings daily! Writing them down in a notebook is even better bc I can go back and look on days when I am struggling! What a positive message to share with my children and hopefully get them to start counting their blessings! It changes your perceptions as well as your moods and attitudes for the better!
