***The Gratitude Attitude Challenge***

I am grateful for not watching porn on my new smartphone yet
I am grateful for hilltops overlooking the city
I am grateful for coffee

I believe day 7 for this

 

1. I'm greatful for my family.
2. I'm greatful for my amazing dog.
3. I'm greatful for my life, mistakes and all.

 

1. Grateful for crafts
2. Grateful I am missed when I'm gone
3. Grateful I have achieved pride again

 

1. I'm grateful for setting a rep PR on my Overhead Press. It was a significant one too, because my bench and OHP have barely budged in months, so every PR with them is all the more rewarding, but this one especially. Back at the start of July, I hit 27.2kg on my OHP for the first time, but I had to push press it, using my legs, and I only managed 1 rep, and just barely, after several attempts. Today I managed 10 reps @ 27.2kg with no leg involvement, strict form, and relative ease. I think that's one of the best feelings ever - it's one thing to hit a new weight and set a weight PR, but it's awesome to be able to go back to a weight that was once nearly impossible to lift at all, and do a whole bunch of reps with ease, especially considering my overall slow progress.
2. I'm grateful that I'm feeling pretty good despite low sleep. Once again my sleep pattern has gotten out of sync (due to staying up really late on New Year's eve when I was drinking) so I've been trying to fix it again using the method where I go to bed 3-4 hours later each night until I'm back at a normal sleeping time. Last night I fell asleep 2 hours earlier than I was intending, and then woke up after only 4 hours sleep today, so I expected to feel like shit, but surprisingly I actually feel pretty good - and even set PRs in my workout.
3. I'm grateful to have my cardio done and out of the way. My actual workouts aren't that much harder on low sleep but low sleep saps my endurance much more and my usual 35 minutes of cardio feels like about 3 hours. Glad to have it done and out of the way.

 

1. I'm grateful for spending time with my uncle. It was nice to see his new flat and spend time.
2. I'm grateful for going on the right path. I chasing my dream and on the right track. I just have to work hard, be persistent and patience.
3. I'm grateful for another day. Another to experience and appreciate life in all its glory.

 

1. I am grateful for getting my two needs shirts from WWE: an AJ Styles' P1 shirt and the other a Sting shirt.
2. I am grateful for resting enough to feel alive.
3. I am grateful for Jeff Lemire's writings. His books are among some of my favorites.
4. I am grateful for Spotify for allowing me listen to complete albums and find new music.
5. I am grateful for the future and whatever it may holds.

 

I'm grateful for learning patience
I'm grateful for Josie, my dog
I am grateful for music

Day 8 I think

 

Grateful for our president and for our president who served us the previous 8 years
Grateful for our neighborhood
Grateful for communication with my wife

 

1. Grateful for knowing exactly who I am, and not allowing others to tell me.
2. Grateful for my mistakes, otherwise I would never improve
3. Grateful for preservation of pride

 

Although I relapsed again today I'm grateful for :
1)I'll have I've more chance to get sober
2) look for a job
3) start my daily routine so I make at least some things true

 

I am grateful for feeling numb atm
I am grateful for psychology
I am grateful for knowing that I stopped complaining, justifying and making excuses.
I am grateful for analyzing, understanding and acting instead.
I am grateful for accepting people as they are.
I am grateful for realising I should expect other people to talk more than they listen.

 

Although I relapsed once more today
I'm grateful for
1) finding out what's wing with me (even with quite a big delay)
2) look for a job
3) do for the first time my daily routine even with such a delay

 

1. I'm grateful that my sleep pattern is almost fixed again. If you've seen many of my posts in here before you'll probably know how many times over the last year I've had to fix my sleep pattern - I've always had an issue where I simply can't fall asleep earlier than the previous night unless I'm sleep deprived, which makes the only way for me to reset sleep either involving depriving myself of sleep, or going to bed progressively later until I make my way all the way back to a normal sleep pattern. Anyway the last time I fixed it, it was fine and I was ensuring I went to bed real early to avoid it getting messed up again - but because of drinks on New Year's Eve, I stayed up late, and it messed up. Now since I'm not drinking and don't plan to in any near future, it should stay fixed this time. So I'm excited to hopefully have it fixed for good this time around.
2. I'm grateful for Amazon and that they ship abroad. One of the issues with living in a different country is that while I can command a decent spoken level of the local language, sometimes there's just a word that passes me up, and translators/dictionaries etc don't give me an answer. Today it was a beard trimmer, for the life of me I couldn't find the local word for it, so I couldn't find any online stores selling them. So, I just went to the Amazon UK website and found one there instead.
3. Speaking of which, I'm grateful that I have a beard trimmer, comb, brush, and some beard oil on the way, set to arrive by Wednesday. I've never really grown my beard out before. Sorry, correction, I have, but only back when I was an addict - and it was simply that I didn't care to take care of it, so I had this horrible messy beard that hadn't been combed or cut once and looked worse than a case of messy pubes on the face. I've decided I'm growing a beard again, but this time obviously taking care of it, and I'm excited to see how it goes.

 

1. I'm greatful for my addiction. It has humbled me and has taught me so much about love, courage, and hope.
2. I'm greatful for this community and its members.
3. I'm greatful for not binging after a relapse and for getting right back up.

 

1. I'm grateful I live in a country where I can buy and grow my own weed legally.
2. I'm grateful I can walk in the mountains.
3. I'm grateful for having picked up a guitar so many years ago.

 

1. I am grateful for being able to rest and recharge for the long week ahead.
2. I am grateful for getting to the root of my addiction and problems.
3. I am grateful for being able to get another chance.

 

1. I'm grateful for the radiator. When I place clothes on a hot radiator and then wear the clothes, the feeling of the warmth is so satisfying.
2. I'm grateful for my mum getting an ice pop. My mum had already been out but went back out just to get an ice pop for me.
3. I'm grateful for my healthy heart. The heart should be seen in my quotes, motivational posters or a metaphor because the heart continuously works hard without getting noticed.

 

Today
I'm really grateful I didn't PMO when I last succumbed to looking @ P two days ago. Although I was disappointed, I would've been even more devastated had I said "screw it...may as well" - which had crossed my mind...

I'm grateful that I caught up with a good friend today, and that we had a deep and honest conversation about real s**t.

I'm grateful for vegetarian Sausages - which makes it easier to eat more vegetables.

 

Today,
I'm grateful for my continuos improvements at work.
I'm grateful for having perspectives of straight forward friends.
I'm grateful for my building inner belief and confidence.

And I'm happy that so many people are being grateful outside of me.
