Today I\u00b4d like to propose a habit that\u00b4s as simple as it is powerful, and that you\u00b4ll probably have seen recommended in multiple places: spending a few moments each day being thankful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"purple<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be done in many ways: in the morning or at night, in writing, out loud or simply thinking about it\u2026 but the idea is always the same: stopping for a moment to appreciate what we already have, the daily gifts that life sends to us, and to feel fortunate and abundant because of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started putting this into practice with my daughters a few years ago, when I heard that it was truly beneficial for kids to think of three things for which to be grateful for each night, as it helped them to finish the day on a happy note, remembering pleasant things. We made \u201cgiving thanks\u201d part of our bedtime routine back then, and nowadays we still keep it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some ways it reminds me of what I used to do as a child, praying before going to sleep. Every now and then I would repeat a prayer by heart, but usually it was more like a few minutes of \u201ctalking to God\u201d: I would tell Him about my day, thank Him for some things, ask Him for others\u2026 And now remembering it all, I realize that this little exercise of reflection at the end of the day used to help me a lot and make me feel good, regardless of who could be \u201con the other side\u201d in that silent conversation going on inside my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So now I\u2019m a big fan of having routines at the start and end of the day, of course including thankfulness. And in the last few months, also including a few minutes of handwriting, which is a really interesting process, and very different from just thinking the words, but I\u2019ll tell you about that some other day \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I did want to tell you today is that this week the girls and I have done an experiment, and added one more thing to our bedtime routine: in addition to the three things for which each of us is thankful, we\u2019ve started to mention one thing for which we each feel proud that day. It may be for something big or small, it doesn\u2019t matter; the important thing is to feel that joy for a moment again, that boost of self-esteem, and to let it encourage us to continue to face new challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is true that some days we\u2019ve found it harder than others to find something to say there, and that it still doesn\u2019t come out naturally, but I hope that little by little this new habit will get settled. For what better way to finish the day than appreciating what is around us, and also ourselves.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
