“How exactly can I be more grateful with my life?”

“我到底該如何讓自己更感恩呢？”

Make your own Gratitude Board

制作你自己的感恩板

You’ve heard of Motivation Boards, Disaster Boards and Dream Boards, so why can’t you have Gratitude Boards as well? Instead of posting your dreams and your disasters, it’s better for you to post the ideals that you feel grateful for. Just a hint: focus more on people and experiences rather than on materialistic stuff that don’t necessarily last very long.

你已經聽說過“動力板”、“災難板”和“夢想板”，那為什么不能也做一塊“感恩板”呢？在這塊板上你不用發布自己的夢想和災難，而是那些你想要感恩的理想。小提示：更多地關注與人和經歷，而不是那些不能持久的物質的東西。

Control your thoughts

控制你的想法

Of course you have the power to control what you’re thinking of! Consider this exercise, for example: if you find yourself thinking more and more self-entitled, stop. If you find yourself repeating negative junk, stop. And if you find yourself comparing yourself to other people, stop. You are given consciousness. Make use of it wisely.

你當然有能力控制自己的想法！比如說這個練習：如果你發現自己的想法越來越自我感覺良好，打住。如果你發現自己正在重復負面想法，打住。如果你發現自己正在拿自己和別人比較，打住。你是有覺悟的，要聰明地利用它。
