Weekly Gratitude: Friday February 26th, 2021

Happy Friday everyone! Today I would like to introduce a feature that will become a staple here on Everything Ami. The Weekly Gratitude series is one that will go up every Friday at 7pm PST and will list 5 things that I’m grateful for for that particular week. My aim in creating this series is to shift my mind to a state of gratitude as I feel better when I’m in this state, although like many, I do struggle to make time to reflect on this. Although I will publish only 5 things I’m grateful for on Fridays, the goal is for me to actually list 3 things I am grateful for daily in my journal and then to pull 1 thing from each day and share it with you here.

If you’re like me and want to try to focus more on gratitude, I warmly welcome you to share your 5 (or whatever you feel comfortable with) things you’re grateful for each week. I would love to have you all eventually join in on this so that we can not only hold each other accountable, but have something wonderful to look forward to together for the end of the week. I’ll be here every Friday regardless and hope that you will be one day soon too. With this said, let’s get on to the 5 things I was grateful for this week.

Monday 02/22: Finally launching Everything Ami!
Tuesday 02/23: Watching a movie and laughing with my cousin.
Wednesday 02/24: Starting a new book that I’m really enjoying so far.
Thursday 02/25: My brothers making time for the three of us to watch anime together.
Friday 02/26: Receiving my B.A. degree in the mail!

That’s it! It can be as simple as that. I admit that I had a smile on my face as I remembered all of these moments, which is the aim of this series- to help us achieve some happiness through gratitude. I know that some day’s I will struggle to feel grateful for things and that’s entirely okay too. So long as we at least try to focus on the good the majority of the time then that’s a huge step from otherwise. Again, please feel free to join me in sharing something you’re grateful for this week. I highly encourage you to try it, especially if you haven’t thought about it.

I’ll see you all next Tuesday at 7pm PST for my next post! I’ll be sharing a picture of a nail polish I’ve been loving and sharing my whole relationship with polish! Until then!
