While pausing for perspective can help to restore our inner peace, to strengthen spirituality and health in the longer term, we need to practise being thankful.
How can we be more thankful?
Every night, when your head touches the pillow, close your eyes and replay your day in your mind. As you do so, give thanks out loud for all things good and bad, big or small.
Give thanks for the happy and unhappy events, e.g. “I give thanks I woke up late, I give thanks for a successful meeting.”
Give thanks for the good and the bad people you encountered in the day, e.g. “I give thanks for John, I give thanks for Mary.”
Give thanks for the good and bad things that you own, e.g. “I give thanks for my car, I give thanks for my piano.”
Most of all, give thanks for who you are, i.e. “I give thanks for who I am.”
Giving thanks strengthen spirituality and health
Giving thanks is to accept the way things have turned out. As you give thanks, you are receiving spirituality in your life and maintaining your inner peace. After giving thanks for the day, you will sleep deeply and wake up with a clear and rested mind. It is natural to drift off to sleep without finishing the whole list of things that you have to thank for. However, always give thanks no matter how tired you may be - a tired body needs to be guided by peaceful thoughts to produce a good night's sleep.
