Mindfulness Motivation & Satisfaction: 3 X 3 tips for the gratitude diary

Our life is getting faster and more hectic. It helps yourself clear to do what you have already achieved. Because: who satisfied not only has a better life, but also works better. A gratitude journal can help us do this.

Stress due to the wrong goals

Not only that life around us threatens to become more and more stressful - no, we let ourselves be infected by this hectic pace. It is suggested to us that “always more” and “always better” are worth striving for Set are. Even if it for sure It's part of human nature to think like this: Often enough, we overwhelm ourselves with our goals.

For example, because we lag behind false ideals from the media; because we compare ourselves with colleagues, friends and acquaintances; because we let ourselves be imposed on goals from the outside, such as bosses or clients.

And are often stressed because these goals do not correspond to us at all and we therefore only pursue them half-heartedly. The result is that we aren't really productive and consequently not particularly successfully.

The Stress, which we then complain about, is often enough home-made: Instead of ranting and the Debt to give to others for their misery, we should consider what we give ourselves to one change can contribute to the situation. For example, by rethinking what we really want and being more grateful for what we have already achieved.

The Gratitude Diary

In this regard, I'm on the Idea of a gratitude journal. It may sound simple at first, but the two suggest writing down what you're grateful for that day in a gratitude journal every night. And without ifs and buts. This results in several advantages:

1. Writing down the positive aspects of one's life or work draws one's attention to things that are all too often taken for granted and therefore quickly forgotten.
2. Those who focus on these positive aspects of life will, the experts promise, also attract more positive aspects. That sounds a bit esoteric, but it is explained by the more positive charisma and by the fact that you concentrate more on the positive in your environment.
3. After all, focussing helps to explore one's own goals: After a while, you will notice that there are always similar things in the recordings that make you happy and content. This helps to recognize what is valuable in one's life.

The basic principle of the gratitude journal is the question: "What helps me to have a good day?" The idea behind it is: The Energythat one People available also depend to a large extent on one's own feelings and mood. Observation and self-knowledge can make it possible to "let go" of certain feelings more quickly or to avoid certain moods from the outset.

1. First, you have to watch yourself for a while. Write down for a few days when you discover which moods. Either write it down for an hour or write down certain impressions when you appear, such as euphoria or sympathy, or even negatives such as carelessness or anger.
2. It helps to think about whether there is a specific reason for your current mood, such as bad eating, little sleep or left lying.
3. This is exactly how you should make a note of yourself, what puts you in a positive mood, something to be with great people or done work.

It turns out that you shouldn't let your moods get you down, but that you have to reflect on them. It helps to make clear what these emotions want to tell you and how to get a grip on them. It's not about suppressing a feeling and becoming a machine, but about understanding yourself better and becoming more aware positive amplify moods.

Even if positive thinking is not a panacea ...

Of course, positive thinking is not the panacea for solving all Problems. Negative feelings and legitimate anger about the behavior of others should not be suppressed. You don't even tackle necessary changes if you are always grateful and satisfied. And actually can be more compulsive Optimism even be harmful.

... it can help us if we regularly present positive things

Of course, it is just as damaging to hide everything positive and to see only the bad everywhere. The right mix just makes it. That's why it pays to ask yourself regularly:

1. What happened today to positive things that I can be grateful for?
2. What made me happy and maybe even smiling?
3. When did I work in a particularly productive and motivated way?

Conclusion

A gratitude journal is a good one Methodto focus on the positive things in life, to become a bit happier and - a nice side effect - to work better. Just try it.
