Week 16: Gratitude Journal

Barely There Babe

Week 16! Oh man, this past week was ah-mazing!

I didn’t realize what a difference it would make in my everyday life; writing down five simple things that I was grateful for seemed like such a small thing, but the more that I worked on it, the happier I became.

I realized how important gratitude is in our everyday lives, when I would write down the things that I was grateful for the night before, the next day I would look at the world with new eyes. I would see little things that I don’t notice on a day-to-day basis, little things that I take for granted every day, and I would look at them and see how blessed I am.

Everyday was like that, and every day I had a full heart realizing how amazing my life is, and how much I truly have. I’m so grateful for my family, my friends, my jobs, my struggles, my strengths… Looking at the world with gratitude is an amazing experience that I hope everyone tries at least once. Thanks

Week 10: An Act of Kindness Every Day

Service week!

For those who know me, knows that I love service! ❤ Helping others and trying to make a difference in other people’s lives is something that I’m very passionate about!

The cherry on top of this week all about service, was definitely being able to see the kindness of others in action. I have the fantastic opportunity of being a drop-off location for Lifting Hands International and got over 65 blankets donated for people in need.

A full car and an even fuller heart made my week one of my favorite challenges so far!

This week was all about giving back to others, but the more I did small acts of service, the happier and more content I became. I don’t think it’s a new concept, but I was still amazed at how great I felt when I was helping others.

I don’t have pictures from the rest of the week, but the small things, like helping a stranger put her groceries away, letting a car merge in front of me, those things I can’t take a picture of-but they’re something that I can do every day. Something I should do every day.

I’m really happy with this challenge, and I hope that I can continue to do these small things daily.
