Honestly, it’s such a simple process, but recognising and being thankful for the things I have in my life on a regular basis has such a huge impact on the way I feel. When I spend as little as one minute per day thinking about the things in my life I’m grateful for, it makes a massive difference. I feel really abundant and kind of, ‘full up’ in a sense. I literally feel full in my stomach, and in my heart. It’s like I create a safety net for myself, just from thinking of the things I have rather than the things I am lacking. That sense of desperation and panic that comes with thinking about what I don’t have is exhausting and it zaps any creative thoughts I have. Living in the perspective of scarcity kills my soul.
But, I actually feel surprised that something so simple can have such an amazing impact. So here are some of the things I am currently grateful for:
Amongst many others…
1. Feeling really healthy
2. Doing work I love and getting to be creative with it
3. My bicycle
4. Roasted seeds and halloumi cheese
5. My ever-growing flame of internal self-belief
6. This Alt J album I’m listening to
7. This computer I am using
8. My achy arms from yoga last night
9. The sun
