Day 22: Gratitude list

Today, we’ll take our previous activity of writing a gratitude list one step further by focusing on specific categories.

Choose three of these categories to fill, or challenge yourself by writing down an item for all!

• Relationships: The people in your life who support, love or inspire you.

• Nature: Appreciate the environment around you.

• Personal growth: Reflect on the progress you’ve made through this challenge, such as a new skill you’ve learned or a positive change you’ve experienced.

• Comfort: Everyday items, such as a warm bed, cozy blanket or favourite meal.

• Learning: The experiences you’ve had that have expanded your understanding.

This activity can help you recognize the abundance in your life and bring a sense of perspective, especially during challenging times. You are reinforcing a positive mindset that not only increases your mental wellness, but also enhances your overall sense of fulfilment. Over time, this simple exercise can help train your brain to notice and appreciate the positives in your life, no matter how small they may be, creating a powerful foundation for improved mental wellness.
