In life we are constantly comparing ourselves to others. We wish for the things we don’t have so much that we miss seeing our blessings. I am always striving to find ways to recognize my blessings and give thanks whenever I can. Keep reading to find out how I’ve been showing my gratitude this year. It’s something that I enjoy doing and will continue to do.

A couple of months ago I was reading the book You are A Badass at Making Money and it talked about the importance of giving gratitude whenever you can. The author suggested that before bed you list out ten things you are grateful for. I decided to start doing it and I love it! Instead of before bed I usually write it out in the morning, which has helped me to think positive thoughts to start my day.

I even let Dom know about it and now we share/send our grateful lists to each other every morning. We also hold each other accountable if we are late with completing our lists.

Another way to show your gratitude is by having a blessing jar. A couple of years ago I started a blessings jar, it’s where you write down any blessings you have throughout the year and place it in the jar. At the end of the year you open the jar and read all of your blessings. It’s a great way to reminisce and give thanks for how far you’ve come.
