With life whizzing by at lightning speed, even in a National lockdown, it can be difficult to give the good bits their due thanks. The phone call from your sister, your cup of coffee in the morning, your orgasm at lights out or the heartbreak anthem that’s getting you through – all these small feats when realised in a few simple sentences of thanks can be enough to turn a funky day into a spunky day. Which bring us onto our month of love and daily gratitude exercise!
Gratitude is an inside job and much like any self-care ritual, it’s something that we can get a great deal out of if we tend to our own wellbeing patch little and often, rather than letting the weeds run amok.
One way to check in with yourself and make sure you’re soaking up those daily wins is by practising thankfulness. Sure, it may sound a bit woo-woo but the benefits can be transformative.
Whether you want to take 5 mins to reflect on your blessings before you hit the hay, or you want to start your day right with a good soul-deed, we want to encourage you to use those sweet daily victories to bolster your mind and cultivate a full and thankful February.
Here are 28 daily prompts to help inspire your gratitude practice. Don’t forget to tag us in your posts so we can flood social media with all the feel-good vibes & bright sides!
