Gratitude: A Worksheet

Brain research shows that positive emotions, like gratitude, can benefit our bodies and minds. Feeling grateful for what we have (instead of obsessing about what we don't) helps with many different aspects of our lives — like relieving stress and boosting determination to try again when things don't work out the way we want.
This worksheet can help you start thinking about gratitude. Print out the page and write your answers to the questions in the spaces below. The act of writing down feelings of gratitude can reinforce this powerful emotion.
For a daily reminder to practice gratitude, post your answers where you'll see them each day or keep them in a gratitude journal. Then, make it a habit to pause each day to notice and appreciate what's good in your life.
  1. Write down a gratitude ritual you do now. For example, giving thanks before a meal or pausing before you go to sleep to think about what went well in your day (and how to find good in the things that didn't!).
  2. Write down an everyday blessing you've noticed that you used to take for granted. For example, electricity that keeps the lights on; fresh, clean running water; or powerful arm muscles that help you play your sport.
  3. Name someone you're grateful to have in your life and why.
  4. Describe something that happened in the past that you didn't feel grateful for at the time, but now think of with gratitude.
  5. Describe a moment when you felt gratitude in real time. What other emotions did you feel?
  6. Describe a way you've thanked someone or intend to thank someone.

However, all of the points provided here would prove effective in your journey to finding it. Use these steps to find inner peace: 1. Declutter Your “Room” As mentioned earlier, your mind can be likened to a room. When that room is occupied with thoughts of “what if” and “how not” plus work issues and family matters, there is no way you’d have enough space to do other things. This would take lots of practice and patience with oneself because you can’t just tell yourself, “Hey, stop thinking” and boom! You just stop. You have to consciously remind yourself to not overthink things and only take what you can handle. Even the bravest people break down, so take some time to clear your mind of unimportant matters. You need that space. 2. Take Responsibility for Your Actions It takes a whole level of maturity to take responsibility for your actions, es...

The important Things Life Teaches You...

                                                            During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a pop quiz.  I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?  Surely this was some kind of joke.  I had seen the cleaning woman a dozen of times. She was tall, dark haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?  I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.  Before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.  "Absolutely," said the professor.  "In your career you will meet many people. All are significant.  They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello." I've never for...
