This week's R.I.S.E.
(Recovery Inspiration Strength Exercise) is to start a
Gratitude Journal.
Let's focus on the good in our lives by recognizing and giving thanks for the many things we're grateful for.
1). At the end of each day, reflect on what you are grateful for.
No matter what is going on in our lives, there is always something
to be grateful for. What our bodies do for us, the support we
receive, getting through a difficult day, recovery, being
alive... big or small, it all matters.
2). Choose at least one thing you are grateful for. Write it down.
It can be one word or a more in depth entry. Whatever
works for you.
If you do not have a journal, don't wait to get one.
Use any paper you have and keep your entries together in one place.
3). Read your entry aloud. Do this a few times. Let it sink in.
4). Lastly, give thanks for what you are grateful for.
Keeping a Gratitude Journal is an exercise in positivity. It reminds us that no matter how difficult our lives may be, there is also good in our lives, too. Your journal will be there to reread when you need a reminder or to lift your spirits.
