Here’s a simple way to live that out:
1. Morning grounding ritual
As soon as you wake up, say out loud or write: “I am thankful for…” and list 3–5 things. It could be your health, your family, your talents, or even something as small as the comfort of your bed.
2. Release the negative intentionally
When a heavy thought comes, imagine yourself putting it in a balloon and letting it drift away. You can even say, “This no longer serves me — I release it.”
3. Focus on what’s abundant, not what’s missing
Gratitude shifts your mind from scarcity to abundance. Instead of, “I wish I had…,” turn it into, “I’m grateful I already have…”
4. Protect your space
Limit time around people, media, or situations that feed negativity. Your mental peace is priceless.
5. End the day in gratitude
Before bed, whisper a quiet “thank you” for the day — even if it was messy, you still lived, learned, and grew.
Here’s a short affirmation you can repeat daily:
“I am thankful for all I have. I release what does not serve me. I choose peace, joy, and love.”
