(JOIN) The #GratitudeTrain #9
I am of the firm belief that the habit of practicing gratitude on a daily basis is the key to shifting our lives in a positive direction. This is not only the expression of gratitude for the positive things in our lives, but also for the challenges which we are often faced with.
But sometimes, we can get wrapped up in our day to day existence and agenda, and it is not that we aren’t grateful, but rather that we simply forget to actually verbalise it or take the time to offer it a moment of dedication even in thought.
It is also true that surrounding yourself with the positive attitudes and mind-set of others, that it has a ripple effect on yours too…
Welcome to the #GratitudeTrain No. 9
......
So for ALL of us, including myself, I have decided to start this #gratitudetrain. We all spend a good portion of our lives here browsing through our Steemit feeds, so why not build a positive habit in the process. I think it will be great to share something every day that we are grateful for in our lives, no matter how big or small it may be.
Whether it is a new career path, a new hobby, an achievement of your child, a new relationship, a challenge overcome or simply a new pair of shoes… it doesn’t matter! There is without question… ALWAYS something we can take a moment to be grateful for!
Today I am grateful for something a little more materialistic than most of my prior posts... And that is probably because today I had a pamper session, and I stopped to contemplate how blessed I am to be able to do that... all the small little luxuries in my life which are almost a "norm" to me but are things that some other people seldom get to enjoy... Like having my nails done on a regular basis or going out for breakfast most days etc. Yes, I have worked my hiney off from the age of 16 and have literally NEVER stopped - but even still... I am VERY grateful for all these little things that put a smile on my face everyday.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
......
Step 1.
So starting today, in the comments section of #gratitudetrain post No. 1 – write something that you are grateful for in your life and start it with the number… as in if this is the first time you are sharing on the #gratitudetrain, then write the number “1.” And then state what you are grateful for.
Step 2.
Keep a record of your #gratitudetrain expressions shared in the comments somewhere in a word doc or such.
Step 3.
When you reach 30 – then publish a post on your own profile and be sure to use the #gratitudetrain tag or to tag me @jaynie in the post.
As simple as that!
The idea of this being, that not only will you develop a healthy and positive habit but at the end of 30 days when you share your own post, you will be able to reflect back and realise, just how MUCH GOODNESS there is in your life!
HAVE FUN!!
......
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx

Many thanks :)
In my opinion, yes, the big heart in life is really important and essential but we have to understand one thing and that is, every aspect is really different in this world because it was like that only. But the gratitude is whole new subject and it's really important to understand the core of Gratitude because gratitude is act of thankfulness and appreciation of something and we in phase of thankfulness and appreciation, there is nothing life big heart and small heart. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
