What Things Should I Be Grateful For

Let’s discuss some other things below that are not as obvious and that we often forget to be grateful for.
8 Things We Often Forget To Be Grateful For
Try to remember these 8 things we often forget to be grateful for add them to your list as you learn to practice gratitude every single day. They often do not come to mind easily.
Your Soul(light)
Be grateful for your soul that has been trusted by your creator to come onto this Earth at this moment to fulfill a purpose. You are one of the soldiers of your creator’s army that is a force for good and has come here on earth to do good.
It is not an accident that you are on this earth right now. The purpose of every soul that is here is to grow and then help and serve others. How you serve your calling is based on the unique gifts that you have been blessed with even though several people could be serving that same purpose, however, no one will be doing it your way.
Your Connection To Your Creator
Be grateful for your connection with your creator. Your soul is a part of your creator’s light and it is within you. You have access to your creator’s intelligence, mind, and strength and you can connect to it anytime and ask for help.
You are here to do your creator’s work and therefore loving guidance and support are always available to you. Take the time to stay connected, spend time in silence, listen to guidance, and meditate.
Your Mother’s Womb
Be grateful for your mother who is your second creator and her womb that carried and nourished you as you were developing and growing. It kept you safe until you were fully formed and ready to be born.
Your Mind
Be grateful for your mind that was given to you so you can fulfill your purpose. We often let our mind become our master instead of us being the master of it. You can control your mind by watching who you identify as, your beliefs, thoughts, words you speak, your behaviour, and the actions you take which then creates your destiny.
Do not let your monkey mind dictate who you become and what you do with your life. Instead of listening to your ego’s screams, learn to spend time in silence so you can hear your soul’s whispers and guidance.
Your Body
Be grateful for your body that was given to you that is currently housing your soul. It’s perfect for the role that you are here to fulfill. It is the right size and colour. Do not give the power to someone else or society to decide what you and your body need to look like to be perfect. They do not know and understand what purpose you are here to fulfill.
Your Organs
Be grateful for all your cells, tissues, and organs that are working harmoniously in your body for your greatest good. We often forget to be grateful for the organs that have been serving us all our lives.
For example, your eyes that allow you to see, your nose that enables you to smell, your ears that help you hear, your heart that is keeping you alive and has been beating since you were born and helps change your blood from unoxygenated to oxygenated.
Your liver that regulates your body temperature, your stomach that helps you digest your food, your intestines, your kidneys, and all the other organs that fulfill a function in your body.
People In Your Life
Be grateful for all the people traffic in your life. All the people that came into your life in the past and have now gone away. They either passed on or you no longer talk to them.
This includes all the tyrants and people you didn’t like. They were in your life for a reason perhaps to teach you something. Some people stay forever and some are there for a short season and leave once their purpose has been served.
Situations And Circumstances
Be grateful for the situations and circumstances of your life that are happening for you, not to you, even though you may not like them. You are not a victim and so you should never say “Why is this happening to me?” Everything is happening for you so you can learn the necessary lessons that you can serve others with or change the course of your life.
Who You Are
Be grateful for who you are and who you’re becoming because you’re meant to change as you grow. Your body will also continue to transition as you live your life. Your soul is changeless. You will continue to grow and change so that you can serve your purpose in a bigger and better way.
In conclusion, you now know the ability to intentionally immerse yourself in gratitude is important because it is one of the best ways to get out of any funk, rut, and feeling sad. When you start focusing on all the things that you have to be grateful for, you instantly raise your energy and start feeling better and happier.
