First of all, what is gratitude?

Gratitude means being thankful. Also, it helps you see your situation in a different way.

In times of Social Media, we tend to compare our lives to others and forget that we already have everything that we need. We are so caught up wanting what others have that this could possibly lead to dissatisfaction and even to unhappiness. Sometimes, I am guilty of comparing myself too.

And to be honest, anybody can practice gratefulness. The fact that you wake up every day and experience life is a reason to be thankful! Also, I am very sure that you have people who love you which is the most important thing in life.

Being healthy is another reason to be grateful because once we fall sick, we then wish to recover as soon as possible and tend to forget how good life was before the sickness.

Now, I want to show you the way I practice and stop comparing myself.

Why you should be grateful 

• Healthy habit – a positive mind is a healthy mind

• It grounds you – even successful people need it

• Can prevent you from depression 

• You focus on the things you have

• Because the most of us have a roof over our head

• You let go of things that you currently don’t have in life because in the future you could have it if you really want and work for it.

• Reconnects you with family

• You have a positive outlook on life

• Keeps you motivated because you have something to ‘fight‘ for

How I practice gratitude / How you can practice gratitude

• Whenever I feel down, I just write all the things down that I have. Like for example my family, friends, being healthy and much more.  

• I help and give people compliments. Because it makes me feel content and people feel valued.

• Try to write things down in a journal that you have in life like family, friends, people who helped you or even compliments from a stranger

• Try to eat healthily and do sports so that your body can stay in a good condition  

How to stop comparing yourself to others

• Detach yourself from anything that could make you unhappy like: Social Media, friends, Family who always put you down or give you the impression that you aren’t good enough.

• Instead of looking at what others do and feeling bad. Try to change that energy into building the dream life you’ve always wanted.

• Finally, remember people only share the highlights of their life.

To put it in a nutshell, we’re unfortunately capable of comparing our lives to ‘dream lives‘ BUT we are also capable of enjoying the things we have if we practice gratitude daily and change the view of a situation.
