August Gratitude Challenge: what are you grateful for?
This discussion forms part of our Life Challenges event. Click here to read more about it!
Life is hard and it's important that we're kind to ourselves. In the hustle and bustle of day-to-day challenges our achievements and gratitude can become easily clouded. This month we are going to try that little bit harder to acknowledge and celebrate everything that we are grateful for.
How do I participate?
1. Every day for the month of August revisit this thread and list one new thing that you are grateful for. It can be something small like developing the strength to achieve a goal, or it could be something bigger and more meaningful. The possibilities are endless!
2. If you'd like to get reminded to post in the thread, click the subscribe bookmark in the bottom left hand corner. This will notify you each time someone replies to the thread, providing you with a natural reminder to post your daily gratitude.
3. Share the love. Share your support of others if you can by upvoting or replying to their posts. It can take a lot to share your gratitude so creating a safe space here is crucial for everyone's comfort.
4. There is no pressure to commit to it every day, but it'll be great and no doubt very rewarding if you could!
So, what are you grateful for today?
Subtle reminder for those who'd like it 💛
Today I'm grateful for music! Currently listening to before I close my eyes - one of my faves at the minute.
I’m grateful for having quiet time at the library to write, read, and encourage people at 7Cups! It’s really sweet and relaxing and rewarding too <3
