You know, I have been using a gratitude journal lately. I write in my beautiful gratitude journal every day. It is amazing how we, or maybe it is just me, take so many things for granted. When I really slow down to pay attention and ponder on different things in my life it dawns on me that I am living in a bubble. A comfortable Bonnie Bubble. Today as I prepared and enjoyed my tasty breakfast, I spent some time really being present and so very grateful for each bite, every single flavourful morsel. It is kind of funny maybe. I would like to share with you my journal entry…
I love my breakfast today of delicious organic oatmeal . Thanks to all the farmers and workers, the whole team of individuals who have made this product available to me. In preparing this meal I added a few yummy walnuts and hemp hearts. Thanks to these farmers and workers! A little brown sugar, thank you! I topped it all off with plump flavorful blueberries from a local farm. Thanks to those farmers who grew these tasty wonderful berries! AND thanks you Mom and Dad for picking AND delivering these berries to me! WOW!! Isn’t it truly a beautiful day?!!! Life is good!!
There are studies that prove that using a gratitude journal everyday will decrease cortisol levels and improve good feeling hormones. It is a great way to improve our moods and it is DRUG FREE! Bonus!!
