In 2013 my family had a big jar and a pad of paper, every time something made us happy, we'd write it down in our own colored pen (one color for each family member) then fold the paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the year you open the jar and read all the slips of paper. I nicknamed it "the jar of happy". :)

I am grateful for the energy that sustains this planet, I am grateful for the ecosystem of the planet and all it's wisdom which we understand and all it's wisdom that we do not understand. I am grateful for the clean air, the bugs, the trees, the rivers, the forests, and valleys. Thank you, EL HAYYIM, God of Life, who brought forth all the myriad forms of this universe as an expression of divine love, and thank you for causing it's beauty to be so much it overflows our senses. Hashem, I am grateful to truly see the incredible divine reality all around me constantly, and appreciate it for what it is. I see love, soft and fluid, incorruptible and endless, underlying all things. A mystic poem touches the heartbeat of our reality as loving joy rather than pain and sadness. Such a recording effects our lives forever more and throughout generations. I am grateful to have adhered to the path of Hesed, and to have accepted the unlimited light within my soul, torn through the oppressive grid of mundane life, and found sincerity in return to Eden. Thank you, God, with buddha wisdom, and heavenly means, who ensures the healthy spirits in us be ever strengthening, not waning. Hashem, you make immortality easy and not distant. Thank you for being celestial/cute. Thank you for making everyone comfortable.

Not only can saying Thank You makes you feel better, hearing it also feels great. I noticed that people on city buses rarely say 'thanks' to the driver and those drives always look kinda pissed off. But the drivers for the college bases bus are mostly cheerful because kids always say 'thanks' 'have a good day' and whatnot

I would recommend writing a little note about good things that happen to you everyday, or a few times a week, and putting them all in a little jar so at the end of the year, you can remember all the good things that happen to you!=] I started mine during the new year but you can start now if you want!
@abnormalusername 3 жыл бұрын
@Nicholas Coronel @Nicholas Coronel Wow this was an old comment! It was fun while I did it. I think what I enjoyed about it was the feeling that I was progressing towards a goal, maybe something I could post about in a year. A couple of years ago I found my jar of good things again and it was cool to remember some of the nice things people did for me and show them to those old friends, such as a note that said "Sheila gave me a churro!" Such simple things. I ended up only doing it for 7 months. At the time I had some bad family stuff happen and it felt emotionally exhausting to try to find good things in a really horrible day. I don't think I would start this type of thing up again; I think the types of days I have now require more... venting. If I did it again I would feel forced to be positive. Hm.. I think this exercise doesn't work for me. But something that does work for me is writing letters to friends. A long, personal letter to a friend is definitely another way of expressing gratitude, and I think my friendships are strengthened when I do it, even when I write letters to friends I haven't seen in years. I find that most of the daily notes I wrote were about other people anyway, so I did end up learning a little bit about myself. I never reflected on this exercise before. Thanks for asking about my thoughts. =]
@abnormalusername 3 жыл бұрын
@Nicholas Coronel Well, even if you don't stick with it like I did, you still might learn something about yourself. In my opinion, it was just sort of a neat project that doesn't take a long time to do (I didn't go into detail in my notes about good things that happen). It's almost the new year so it might be a good time to start. Or you can do the exercises in the video, but I honestly I think collecting the gratitude notes in a jar looks nicer :D

Subscribing, such a great video. I work on a very busy unit (nurse) and I will be retiring after this year. I have been getting very nostalgic about my wonderful coworkers and each time I go to work I try to express how grateful I am for them (they are really great). They seem to like it and does it ever make me feel great. I am in the middle of writing a few emails to my supervisor about them so that this is not just verbal but that they have a written record of what they mean to me. God I am going to miss them.

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
