How I Practice Love and Gratitude in Daily Life

What Does It Mean To be Content?

I used to learn French a little, and one of its word that I learn to pronounce is content. It is pronounce as kon-ton.

That is where I get to know its meaning of being happy. To find contentment in the daily life.

But practicing it doesn’t come a full circle to me, where there must have been time: I get mad at what irritates me such as getting a code error for working on the same project for 3 hours.

It felt like a failure, and my mindset wouldn’t be able to shift when these happen.

This is just one of the examples that seems like a dead end.

But usually the problem is solved at the end.

After a nap or taking a break. So it wasn’t a big deal to ruin a day to be honest.

So the key includes in how to treat difficulties better and not making yourself suffer during the growth process.

The key is simple: -

Taking time to practice love and gratitude.

It makes you embrace what you have now and not looking elsewhere.

Cultivate Love and Gratitude

I want to share with you a few things that I learn to be grateful and have peace in life. (it’s important because it helps you look within, and have better contentment while you work).

Things that I started to appreciate more in life:

1. be somewhere in nature
2. being able to breathe, eat and rest under a roof
3. spend time with loved ones
4. see animals
5. listen to music
6. take a long walk
7. read a meaningful book
8. get into the sun
9. talk to someone
10. appreciate everyday is a routine - day in, day out.

I’ll probably share more on what it is like when you started to do these practice but it is good for the well being and I enjoy it.

The bonus point is that getting into the sun brings positivity to you.

I used to only pay attention to the moon as I was more inclined to it, haha.

Talk soon.
