The simple act of being grateful for the simple and yet most important things in life can literally transform your life.
It is surprising how few people realise the huge benefit derived from the simple act of saying thank you for the wonderful things in life to God or simply just nature and this wonderful planet.
Recently, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent curtailing of our freedom and movement, our lives have been simplified and a reassessment of what is important in life.
Although it has taken a long time, we finally realise how important the necessities of life are, such as good health, food and drink, as well as being acutely aware of those in our society who provide the most vital services.
Things which we once took for granted are now appreciated in the true sense of the word.
As a starting point to the new grateful you, how about making a list of ten things including certain people you are grateful for.
What may surprise you is that you will feel so much better in yourself having adopted a feeling of deep gratitude rather than constantly complaining about trivial things in your life.
