Day 4 – Gratitude Challenge – One thing that makes you happy
Welcome to Day 4 of the Gratitude Challenge. Today we will reflect and try to find the one thing that makes you happy. The thing that makes you happy does not have to be very huge. It can be as small as getting a self-care day or some flowers and cooking a good meal. It can be all you love to do that truly makes you happy and does not merely fill your Instagram posts for others.
If you want to find what makes you happy, you need to start from scratch or childhood. Think about what made you happy during your growing years. It might change with age but do we need to leave everything behind while growing up? If you like cycling as a child, why don’t you take yourself on a ride today and see if you feel happy again? Maybe you never tried.
You can see the entire list of the 30-Day Gratitude Challenge in the below link:
Finding what makes you happy has a lot to do with knowing who you are, not who you want to portray to others. Uncover your inner self like getting to know each layer of an onion. Feel vulnerable a bit and forget about what others may think about what you like.
“You, only you are responsible for your own happiness. No one else is.”
Buddha
So take charge of your life and create your moments of happiness. Create an environment of love and gratitude around you so that your mind learns to see and appreciate the positive things present in your life. Then you will realize you have multiple things that make you happy, not just once. For today, you focus on the one thing that makes you happy and do it.
If things are not going as per you or you feel so low that you find it difficult to find that one thing to make you happy then Call someone who truly and unconditionally loves you. It can be your parents, friends, partner, or anyone from work. Even then if you find it difficult to find that one thing, always remember there is divine love to fill your heart with so that you never feel this alone. Pray to the Almighty to express your gratitude and ask to fill your heart with the love you need.
When you find the things that make you happy, feel gratitude and thank the Universe for giving you the love and support to keep going in your life. If there is no existing thing that you already do, try finding something new. You never know. You might find that moment when you realize why haven’t you tried this earlier.
I hope this article helps you and fills your heart with gratitude for the wonderful life that you have. You may not always feel this way but it’s a work in progress and you will have to take one step at a time to keep going ahead.
