Gratitude

Acknowledging what you’re grateful for and expressing that gratitude can be a wonderful way of uplifting your happiness and wellbeing

What is gratitude?

Gratitude is an emotion similar to appreciation. It is defined as a sense of happiness and thankfulness in response to a fortunate happenstance or tangible gift. Gratitude is both a state and a trait. One can experience gratitude for someone or something at a certain moment in time, and someone experience gratitude more long-term as a positive character trait.

Gratitude is important because it can help you feel more positive emotions, improve your health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships with others. When you practice gratitude, you’ll find that you focus on the good things in your life more easily, which can help you feel happier and more content. It can also help you cope with difficult situations by helping you find the positive aspects of the situation.

 

Here are some examples of gratitude that you might feel in your everyday life:

Being thankful for a good night's sleep

Being thankful for an easy drive to work

Appreciating the sunshine

Being grateful for your friends and family

Why do I have to be grateful for things?

You’ve probably heard of the Law of Attraction, or The Secret or maybe just good old positive thinking.

There are a tonne of people who advocate that positive thoughts create a positive reality.

 

In that case, what you think can create your everyday life. So if you’re not grateful for the sunshine, it’ll be cloudy and dull.

 

Expressing love, appreciation and gratitude for all of the glorious experiences in your life is believed to attract more of those things, by those who hold that belief.

 

I’m not sure where to start, can you suggest some things I can be grateful for?

What Motherlanders Are Saying

My reiki session with Sarah was so relaxing and I had some colour reactions which were fascinating. I came away from the treatment feeling calm but also energised. Sarah was relaxed yet professional and I wouldn’t hesitate using her again for future reiki treatments.

Clare, reiki client

“Sarah’s a brilliant coach, so helpful & enthusiastic. Really builds you up and gives you the courage to live the life you want. I’m a very busy working single mum, and she’s brilliant at coming up with tips to work around my life, helping me to make better choices. Sarah has helped me to understand that you can’t care for others without caring for yourself. She’s so warm and friendly, you can’t fail to feel supported and that she’s got your back.”

Louise, coaching client

“Sarah was so brilliant to work with! She gave me sensible guidance around improving both my physical and mental health that fitted with my life rather than trying a one size fits all approach. She has a calm and practical attitude mixed with natural empathy. Sarah is a breath of fresh air and she provides a non-judgemental space for you to self develop (but with her fab expertise on hand!) I thoroughly recommend working with Sarah.”
