All Aboard the Gratitude Express: Come In And Share Your Joyful Moments

PetiteSouris July 30th

Howdy Content Development and Marketing Community‼️

This is my final post for the Content and Development Marketing "5 forum posts" elective requirement. I wanted it to be a meaningful one. I brainstormed for quite a while and considered writing about Motivational Interviewing, especially since I’m taking a course on it. But after some reflection, I thought, "Nah, too boring, Souris‼ "

Yesterday, I was feeling overwhelmed with an outpouring of thanks. A mentee of mine sent me this message:

"Hi Petite, I want to let you know that I appreciate all that you are doing, not only for me but also for the 7Cups community. Because of what you are doing, lots of us are growing."

Wow! It was the most heartwarming message ever!

So today, grab your tea🫖, coffee☕️, or water💦 because we’re diving into something truly uplifting. Today, we’re going to talk about ❤︎GRATITUDE❤︎- it makes us feel better and spreads positivity all around. So let's celebrate what we are thankful for and ✨shine a light on our Joyful Moments

Here are THREE ways to Shine a Light on Your Joyful Moments:

1. Celebrate Your Wins- I am participating in a Fitness study with a research university and I was given a coach to help me along the way. Often times, I feel as if I haven't  made any progress. And he reminds me, "Hey! However small, celebrate the things which brought you joy." So I challenge you, What are some things that made you 🙂smile🙃 recently? 

2. Spotlight on People- If you didn't skip to this part, then you've read how grateful I felt reading my mentees comment to me. I gave them a Shout-Out🔊, didn't I? Give a shout-out to someone who  has made a positive impact in your life. It can even be the waiter at your "go to restaurant" who always remembers your name. ☺︎

3. Memorable Photos- I love to stop and take photos when I go on hikes, sometimes it could be just a leaf🍃. I would stop to admire it. Do you have a snapshot which conveys a moment of joy? Post it here! If not share a GIF which makes you happy, [look for the wand🪄when you reply to add on a GIF].

To Get Us Started, Here is My Gratitude List:

Im super grateful for the rainy days we have been having in my neck of the woods. I got the opportunity to spend countless hours watching the hummingbirds in my backyard fight over feeders.

Shout-out to you‼️ Yes, you‼️ 

You have been reading my posts and participating. Your kindness didn't go unnoticed. I planned this entire post with you in mind.

Thank you so much for supporting me❣️

I am thankful for moments I get to spend in nature: this tree looks like it's practicing yoga. You can't see from this view, but it has "two legs". I like to imagine it is in 🐍cobra🐍 pose. 

❤︎

Now it's your turn! Shine a Light on Your Joyful Moments!

What is making you grateful today?

Today I am grateful for landscapes: I’m currently in the mountains on vacation and I’m from a flat beach state. It’s fascinating and breathtaking to see the difference in horizons.

A beautiful post as always, congrats on finishing the elective!! 🥳

Hello! Today, I am forever grateful for my friends! I realized I cherish the moments of us playing together or chatting together so much and just for the opportunity to have and meet such wonderful people in my life. To be surrounded by such loving and caring people that I can learn and grow with is something I hold very dearly to my heart!

Congrats on finishing the elective Souris!🍓🎀

Today, I'm most grateful for visiting the library. The quiet, the smell of books, and the endless rows of knowledge felt like home to me. It's crazy how much I love books; they are my escape, my adventure, and my solace all in one, my everything. I actually cried when I saw so many books lol—happy tears, of course. I can't control myself and my emotions around books. This is how much they have control over me and how much I love them. Being surrounded by so many stories and possibilities made me feel so alive and excited. It's like I got my home, my family, and my comfort all in one place.


Here a pic too-
