Thankful, Grateful, and Blessed

A how to guide on: Thankfulness.

With turkey day right around the corner, consider this my early "Happy Thanksgiving" post to you all! Over the past few days I've been scratching my brain over and over again on what to write.

And so I came to the conclusion, on this: Keeping it simple.

What's the simplest thing about Thanksgiving, you ask? Well I'll give you a hint. It's in the name. We will be discussing all things, thankful.

Being more thankful and recognizing it. An easy way to do this, is to get in the right mindset, in the begging on the day! Right after you wake up those lovely eyes of yours, its time to start listing what you are grateful for, your blessings, ect.

This will jumpstart the morning on the right track. And that's definitely what you want.

Next, pick at least one thing you are thankful for, and allow yourself to feel the fullness of the gratitude of it for a solid minute.

Now your mind and heart is ready to look for more things that bring you joy and easily become more and more thankful throughout the day. Your welcome!

It's ideal to do this daily, and you can do this at home, or silently in a public place.

I find it helpful, especially on the those days that become blah, or other.

To do list

Another way I like to help ensure productivity, is to have a "To do list" at the ready.

So, I took the liberty of creating one just for you! Download this free printable for planner or notebook if you wish.

After downloading, simply print or digitally fill in the list according to your needs.

To look for other ways of being; Thankful, Grateful, and Blessed, you can also ask & answer yourself the following questions.

1. My favorite part of the day was:

I really hope this blog post has been helpful for you! For being more thankful for the little things, and everything that's good, is to have a happier and thoughtful life.

I'm signing off now, but before I do, allow me to wish you a happy holiday one last time. And I hope you have a delightful one filled with a hot, roasted turkey, surrounded by the ones you love, cheering on your football team, and watching the Thanksgiving day parade. Whatever your traditions may be, may it be the best.

Currently: As of right now, I'm finishing up on this surprise blog post. And since I stayed up too late last night, I feel that the coffee that I've been drinking this morning will need a bestfriend (another coffee) to get me through the day.

It's getting chillier by the day now. Which I haven't been accustomed to in years.

(Since I recently moved from a warm state to a cold one.)

But it's all worth it to be with my family and to watch the lovely snow fall.

That's all I got for today.

(The Currently is a space for myself to document a small piece of the day. How I felt, the days plans, what it was like to be in this moment, right here and now. For future logs, that I can go back on and reminisce. A "diary" if you will.) - Astria Mikaelson
