30 Days Of Gratitude: Things To Be Grateful For

By / April 2, 2024 / Growth Mindset, Thanksgiving

Dear Reader,

Hi, I am Me, the person who writes to you and hopes to help you see how much good you have in your life!

30 Days Of Gratitude: Things To Be Grateful For

How often does the thought “Everything’s a mess” pops up in your head? Probably, often enough to make you think that there is no light in your life.

How often do you catch yourself feeling down because of the aftermath of your decisions? Probably quite often if right now your cheeks are red from the thought of some situations.

30 Days of Gratitude: Things to be Grateful For

How often do you say, “I wish I was/ had…”? Probably enough to make you feel unworthy and unable to reach your dreams.

How often did you look in the mirror and felt dissatisfied or even disgusted? Probably, often enough to make you feel as if you were not already perfect in yourself.

My dear Reader, I have been there and have done that. Of course, there is more to the story for each of us, but I think I might have a solution!

We often need someone to talk to but get uncomfortable with voicing our opinion on some aspects, even when talking about ourselves. Besides, we have forgotten how important and therapeutic it is to write letters. Why don’t we combine both and make the best out of the two?

People are prompt to see bad in themselves first. Why? Because bad is like a red wine stain on a white dress – hard not to notice. Therefore, I suggest you did the next thing:

  1. Begin each letter with “Dear, (your name)”
  2. Below, there will be 30 topics for each letter you will have to write (one each day)
  3. Try to be objective and aim at looking at your “drawbacks” as advantages. Try to look at things from another perspective, and don’t be afraid to pour your heart out on the paper.
  4. End the letter with good wishes.
  5. Sign the letter with “Love, (your name)”
  6. Don’t forget to put the date and maybe quote of the day (only if you feel like it)

Sounds weird? It might. However, strange is new stock, so get used to it.

Each letter’s topics will revolt around gratitude and find things and qualities you are lucky enough to possess.

Therefore, my dear Friend, I advise you to arm yourself with patience, spend these 30 days of gratitude with writing letters on each of the topics, and finally understand how lucky you are and that are are so many things to be grateful for. Enjoy!

Love, Me.

  1. What Does It mean To Be Grateful?

Take a moment to think about your life and the things you have. It is an appreciation of the things you have. What are you grateful for?

What are the positive things in your life? Write a letter and think deeply about this topic.

  1. I am grateful for [ little things ]

So many things happen to us daily that we don’t particularly pay attention to. Write about small things that make you happy every single day. As soon as you see the amount of good in your life, you’ll understand that you are lucky.

  1. I am grateful for [ big things ]

Think of the significant events that have to happen in your life. What has changed your life or has made a significant impact on you?

  1. I am grateful for [ education and ability to obtain knowledge ]

There are different people in the world, and not all of them can get access to education. Therefore, think of the possibilities and knowledge that you have. How does it positively affect your life?

  1. I am grateful for [ art ]

Art is what unites people and speaks a universal language. Why are you grateful for art? Does it take a special place in your life?

  1. I am grateful for [ my mistakes and disappointment ]

Mistakes are tough to accept, and often aftermath is too painful. However, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! Write about your experience and how it had made you stronger.

  1. I am grateful for [ how big this world is ]

My professor would always tell me, “the world is your oyster!” The same goes for every single one of us. What amazes you in this vast global village?

  1. I am grateful for [ freedom and choice ]

We live in times where people live the way they want and are free to choose whatever is best for them. How important is freedom of choice for you?  

  1. I am grateful for [ inventions and technological progress ]

Think of how the world, as we know it today, is different from the one our grandparents have told us about? What it gives you?

  1.  I am grateful for [ books and power of the word ]
I am grateful for [ books and power of the word ]

Books are many things: the source of wisdom, warm shelter, saved evening, etc. what are they to you? What would the world be without them? What is your favorite book?

  1.  I am grateful for [ music and its power to break boundaries ]

What is your favorite song? How did music change your life?

  1.  I am grateful for [the time I had, I have and I will have ]

Time is our biggest fear and most precious desire. Look back at your life and see how many minutes you have already spent and of those to come.

  1.  I am grateful for [an opportunity to express myself  ]

Can you imagine your life, where your opinion is unnecessary or even forbidden? How lucky are you to live today?

  1.  I am grateful for [ resilience to overcome difficulties ]

There is nothing we cannot combat or get throughout. Think of the difficulties (both big and small) that you have gone through. Tell your recipient about them.

  1.  I am grateful for [ all changes ]

You can never change your life by making the same choices. Therefore, all changes are for the best! What small and significant changes did you have in your life (or merely today)?

  1.  I am grateful for [ people in my life ]

I always say that people need people, no matter how individualistic you are, you still live in society, surrounded by people you love and hate. Write about these people (friends, acquaintances, coworkers, etc.) What place do they take in your life?

  1.  I am grateful for [ my family ]
 I am grateful for [ my family ]

Family is our best cure, strongest protector, and best friend. Write about your family and your moments together.

What are the little things? Can you imagine your life without them?

  1.  I am grateful for [ new friends in my life ]

New people always bring different shades to our lives. Write about new friends, new people that have entered your life. What are you grateful for?

  1.  I am grateful for [ my thoughts ]

Our ability to think, ruminate, and dream makes us unique. The way we see the world is what prompts us to make the decisions we make.

What is thinking and dreaming to you? Can you imagine yourself without this ability?

  1.  I am grateful for [ my memories ]

Feelings, emotions, pictures from the bests days of our lives are in our heads. What would it be like not to be able to remember? Does this seemingly little ability makes you the luckiest person in the world?

  1.  I am grateful for [ my body, health, and appearance ]

We are who we are, and it’s beautiful. Why? Because there is none like you in this world! Always work with what you have, and don’t get sad about things you cannot change.

What do you like the most about yourself? Is health as equally as important as beauty to you?

  1.  I am grateful for [ old friends in my life ]

Old friends – a rarity and therefore a great treasure. Do you have friends for life? How did they influence your life?

  1.  I am grateful for [ my dreams ]

Dream big! Dreams are a driving force. They prompt us to make life-changing decisions and make us feel on top of the world.

What dreams do you have? How they influence your life and your choices?

  1.  I am grateful for [ diversity and tolerance ]

Each one of us is a unique diamond. Our imperfections make us perfect. Our diversity and ability to love us for who we are and accept people with their dark and bright sides make the world a better place.

How do you feel about this? Do you feel loved and accepted? How important is it for you?

  1.  I am grateful for [ kindness ]

We always say that the world is a cruel place. With this Bein said, we fail to mention that there are still lots of good in it! Writ about acts of kindness that you have witnessed that happens to you and those you have performed for others.

How did all of these situations make you feel? After writing your answers, can you still say that the world is a cruel and dark place?

  1.  I am grateful for [ my talents and “weird habits” ]
 I am grateful for [ my talents and “weird habits” ]

Weird is not weird! Strange is new everyday. We all have peculiar gifts and impressive talents that make us even more special.

What are your abilities and brow-raising habits? Do they make you feel even more impressive than you already are?

  1.  I am grateful for [ my Past ]

Often people tend to shy away from their past and thank God that they are through with it. However, the past is a treasure chest of moments that make our hearts throb and tears roll-up. Past is the best teacher you can find.

What are you grateful for? What has the history taught you?

  1.  I am grateful for [ my Present ]

Present – a fleeting moment. There is just now, and you should use it to the fullest!

Are you grateful for being alive now? What makes you feel thankful for the present?

  1.  I am grateful for [ my Future ]

There is nothing you can’t possibly do! Every time you feel that there is something beyond your reach or abilities, it is just you doubting yourself and setting nonexistent boundaries.

What are your plans for the future (even the craziest ideas will do)? Aren’t you happy just to know that there is a future for you? What makes you grateful?

  1.  I am grateful for [ my authentic and unique self ]
 I am grateful for [ my authentic and unique self ]

You are one of a kind and don’t believe if one says otherwise! What do you love the most bout yourself? What qualities of yours do you fancy the most?

What makes you live yourself? Look at your “drawbacks” from another point of view and write what is good about them?

CONCLUSION

Always be grateful for every single thing, because we never know how life might turn to be. Therefore, write these thirty letters and see that you are so lucky!
