The 21 Day Gratitude Journey, Day 8

NEW TO THE GRATITUDE JOURNEY?  HERE’S A QUICK OVERVIEW!

JOIN IN WHENEVER YOU’RE READY…

HERE’S THE PLAN:

I’LL SPEND THE NEXT 21 DAYS FOCUSED ON GRATITUDE. EACH DAY I WILL FOCUS ON ONE ASPECT & EACH DAY I WILL SHOW MY GRATITUDE & APPRECIATION TO SOMEONE NEW.

And what I’d love is for you to join me. Tell your friends, your family, co-workers, anyone.


I honestly feel that if we can embrace gratitude & all the goodness in the world, then we’ll be able to make amazing & far reaching positive change.


We are all capable of amazing things & it’ll take far less effort than you may think!


Gratitude is step one.


Assignment for Day 8:


1. How do you show gratitude to your family?


For better or for worse, your family is your family.  Let me expound on this just a little.


Your family is comprised of 2 things- the family you were born into as well as the family that you have chosen for yourself.


How do you show gratitude for your family?  Even if you feel like they are not the best representation of “you”, how do you show them your appreciation, your love, your gratitude?


Even if you feel like they don’t deserve it, how do you still show it?  Can you show it?


The reason I ask this question is that regardless of how we feel about our family, they are still a big part of us.  Regardless of what kind of interaction we have with them, they are still part of the reason that we are who we are.


Without them, we would not be the colorful individuals that we are.


Spend a few minutes thinking & writing. Choose one place to collect your thoughts for our 21 day journey.


2. Choose your eighth person to show gratitude to. You are free to speak your gratitude, write your gratitude or show your gratitude.


Any way that feels the most appropriate, that is how you need to do it.


Be honest & open. You are doing everything right!


Please feel free to share your thoughts below. Ask for help, guidance or support.


We’re all in this together

    I like to think that I do a good job showing gratitude to my family but if I really think about it, I don’t think I do a very good job unless it’s a holiday. I think I get so caught up in the day to day that I forget to appreciate them on a daily basis.

    I think that so many people have family issues that they find it easy to place blame on their family instead of thanking them for just being part of their own history.

    Just my thoughts. I do want to work on this family thing though.
