Practicing gratitude is massively impactful to your healing journey. Read to learn about 23 things to be grateful for, everyday.

Are you aware of how powerful gratitude is?

Usually we take so many things for granted. Things like clean drinking water, healthy relationships, and even something as seemingly simple as being able to stand up. And I get it — when you’re so used to something, it’s sometimes “hard” to remember that you’re blessed to be in a certain situation. But, we have to remember to show our gratitude — and not just on Thanksgiving, either. I mean EVERY day!

I’ve been adopting this habit lately and it’s a true life-changer. Every time something positive happens, I make sure to show my appreciation for it. Even when not-so-great things are occurring, I still remain grateful because, you know, things could always be worse!

If you want to start practicing gratitude, this post is for you. Today, I’m going to teach you about gratitude and 23 things you should be grateful for, every single day of your life. 

Are you ready? Let’s get into it!

THIS POST IS ALL ABOUT THINGS TO BE GRATEFUL FOR.

What is gratitude, and why is it important?

I think it’s smart to start with the basics. 

Gratitude is a feeling — a feeling of appreciating what’s happening in your life and generally being thankful. Practicing gratitude is the act of showing the universe or God that you are grateful for what you’re experiencing. 

You might think, “Why is it so important to practice gratitude?”

It’s so important because it allows you to show your appreciation for what’s happening and to focus on these positive moments. 

And I believe that when you practice gratitude, you get hit with even more of an abundance of blessings.

So, now that we’ve laid the groundwork, let’s get into this list of 23 things to be grateful for.
