Wellbeing can often feel like one of those extra things we need to add into life, make time for or spend money on. But what if flourishing in your wellbeing looks like learning to make time for the things that give you life in the every day moments? In today’s blog you will discover how to weave the things that make you flourish into each day in a way that is simple and practical.
If you are someone who likes to be active, Grateful Windows might be a gratitude practice that works for you. It is a simple practice from our founder Andy, that you can do if you are inside somewhere [although if you’re in an office block that is all windows it might take some time!]
Wander round your house [or the building you are in] and stand at each window in turn.
As you look out, think of someone you are thankful for or grateful to.
Repeat this until you’ve looked out of every window.
You can take this gratitude practice a step further and text each of the people that you have thought of to say thank you.
After a few days of practising this ask yourself ‘How is this changing the way that I see the world?’
If you’d like to give the other gratitude practices we shared a go, you can find them under Practising the 3 P’s and Top 3 Things.
There is no ‘one way’ to practice daily gratitude; for some of you it will look like writing 3 things you’re thankful for each day, for others it could be filling a gratitude jar. Today we share the first of three simple gratitude practices from Dr Rangan Chatterjee’s brilliant book, The Stress Solution.
