Having Gratitude During Bad Days

Angelanj June 30th

Hey guys!

What are some things you do to have gratitude even while you're having a bad day?

@Angelanj

Great prompt. Gratitude is specially hard to feel during difficult times. 

I don't force the feeling. Gratitude is a feel-good emotion usually, and sometimes it's okay to not feel-good, I feel hehe. 

What I do try is clinging tighter to hope, resilience and a certain "have seen worse, have got through it, whatever's happening will pass soon too" belief. Embracing the moment and the emotions it carries.

How about you?💛

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Hi Sunshine! Yes I agree and it most definitely is okay to have days when you're not feeling so sunny! It's completely normal. However, gratitude can sometimes help with dwelling on the rainy mood and sinking deeper and deeper into to it until it because a hurricane, tsunami and typhoon in one! I hope that makes sense haha. I wasn't in any way trying to imply that not feeling sunny isn't normal or okay 

That's good you are present with your emotions and allow yourself to feel what you're feeling whilst still having some hope. Good job!

As for me personally when I'm struggling I try to do the same. Sit with my emotions and have tea with them without being too hard on myself. But at the same time trying to look on the bright side.

Hope you have a great day Sunshine! 😊 ☀️💛

Days often get dark and the emotions are deep and vivid.

I love this line 'Embracing the moment and the emotions it carries." 

Embracing the moment on hard days is tough, But I tell myself " You got this" and I make it through.

Today is all I have!!

Hello 🙂


I find it very difficult to have gratitude during bad days. Instead, I take some time to connect to my emotions and try to remove from my body what is causing me to have a bad day.


I look at it as we're a part of nature. We can't have sunny days all year round, we will have cloudy days and rainy days, even stormy days, and they're all part of the ecosystem. In the same way, bad days are part of our system. This is how I see it.


So when I have bad days I let them be and try to understand myself a bit better.


In return, I'll make the most when the sunny days will show up ☀️

@Angelanj yes although the cat isn't to thrilled with me at the moment. Stepped on her this morning. It was four something in the morning and she blended in with the rug. Plus she was lying where she doesn't normally lie... I picked her up right away and petted her but she was not pleased. Getting her some treats once I finish work.

@Angelanj she did. She was slightly adventurous this morning. Lying in the open while the dog played a bit with her little Frisbee. Usually the cat takes to her hidey holes because the dog wants to play but they were letting each other be.

@Angelanj I make myself a coffee, sit still, and enjoy it. It is not that bad if I can still do that.
