I chose this because I've come to realize that I really focus on what I don't have, so now I want to focus on what I do have. I want to practice this because I want to change my way of thinking. I will learn to enjoy small moments/wins in my life and just focus on the negative moments, and I'm expecting that this can help improve my chronic pain. I will engage in this once or twice a week, track my activities in my gratitude journal, and include images of myself in my blogs. I can't practice this because I believe my mental health will improve.
In My Gratitude Journal, I wrote How I was thankful for making it to all my classes(except one) even though I had a cold and was sick. I was always thankful for how I happy I was when socializing with my classmates from PSY?ENG. I'm also grateful that I was able to play with my dogs this week watching them run around crazy. I'm also glad I played UNO in my Thursday class and won which my teacher says I can get fifteen extra credit points for any assignment of my choosing. The last thing I'm grateful for is slowly coming out of my shell and being more open and myself.
Gratitude is a great choice–the way you talk about focusing on what you DO have–and I also like your choice of visuals!
