The Three Things Gratitude Exercise

11/24/2020

The best treatment for a hard day - or week, or month...or year - is an ounce or two of gratitude. 

During this season, it's especially helpful to take in some gratitude moments throughout the day.

The Three Things Gratitude Exercise, from Dr. Christopher Kaczor’s The Gospel of Happiness: Rediscover Your Faith Through Spiritual Practice and Positive Psychology is a great way to get started with a daily exercise in gratitude. 

It’s a simple and very effective way to grow in gratitude and ward off negative thoughts that only bring us down. Here's how it works:

The Three Things Gratitude Exercise

1. At the end of the day, before you fall asleep (so don’t let that head hit the pillow yet), think of The Three Things, three small and simple things, you are thankful for. Moments you might have otherwise forgotten if you hadn’t been looking for it. (a smile or random text from a friend, the smell of warm your favorite snack or coffee, etc.)

2. Get out a notebook, journal, a note in your phone, or just hold these thoughts in your mind. 

3. If you can, write down The Three Things you are grateful for from the day.


Here are the Three Things we're Grateful For Today: 

  • Our amazing team of high school and young adults on our Truth for Youth team! 
  • All the kids we get to meet at our retreats.
  • All those who support us with donations, in-kind material donations, and random notes of encouragement and kindness!

What are your Three Things? Share below in the comments or on our Instagram or Facebook pages!

Heads Up: Stay tuned for an exciting Give Away Raffle for our Dec. 1st Giving Tuesday campaign. Think 50# flat screen TV, spa baskets and date night baskets!
