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?

Today I'm grateful for 7 Cups 💛 As cheesy as it sounds, this really is a warm, loving and friendly community. I've not only grown as a person whilst being here but also met some very passionate and talented people.

Thank you to everyone for making this community so perfect!

I am grateful for the love from my family and boyfriend and the few friends I have ( I have broken  some friendships because they were toxic ) , I am also grateful for the improving of my health since surgery in March taking little step to improve my self care and self compassion to me

@tommy

I'm grateful for honesty, kindness and good humour.

When I scan people, places and things with my right brain and acknowledge who and what they are I'm given the opportunity to move forward in a holistic way that's true to my values and principles rather than only on a near-blind surface level of the baser senses. All the six senses working together is beautiful.

@tommy I am grateful for my life!  I spent 4 years in the United States Marine Corps Infantry.  I got out unscathed and know many who were not as lucky.  My life, while still a work in progress, is mine to proceed with, shape and form.

I am grateful for my continued health every day from my knee surgery. I am at the point I walk everyday a little more and without using anything walker, cane. I am even trying to walk slowly in supermarkets the confidence that my boyfriend gives me each day and helps me with certain physical therapy work outs I do
