5 Simple Things to Be Grateful for This Thanksgiving

Sometimes it can be hard to think of things to be grateful for around Thanksgiving, but there is always something, no matter how small.

Gratitude is the one tool that turns what you already have into enough. Even without changing your circumstances, you can change your whole outlook on life with just gratitude.

It’s one of the most powerful free tools available.

Here are a few ideas of what to be grateful for if you can’t think of anything:

1. You’re alive
I’m pretty sure this one is accurate for you (along with the other ones :)). So, you have at least one thing to be grateful for.

2. You’re breathing
Sometimes even breathing is a miracle. You’ve survived every moment of your life up through the present, and here you are, still breathing. 🙂 I think that’s pretty amazing.

3. You have a body
… or if you don’t then someone around you has a body and is reading this blog post to your body-less brain of consciousness. Which means that someone cares about you and we’ve reached the future of technology! #relentlesslypositive

4. You have internet access
So far Resilient is only available online, so you or someone you know had internet access in order to read this.

5. You’re reading this
So you’re literate (or someone around you is), which is pretty cool because that means you can read literally millions of books that contain the stories and wisdom and knowledge of humans throughout the history of the world.

Cool stuff!
