How Can Gratitude Improve My Mental Health?

6/9/2025

How can gratitude help your mental health?
Gratitude can be a powerful tool in your mental health toolbox to help with anxiety, depression, stress and more challenging thoughts. It can help to keep the big picture in mind when the small daily challenges can feel insurmountable or even just annoying. 
​
I like to recommend for clients to “bookend their day.” What do I mean by this? When you wake up, before you grab your phone and start checking emails or looking at social media, take a couple of minutes to focus on one or more things you’re that you’re grateful for having in your life. Take some deep breaths in and out while expressing gratitude either out loud or in your head. “I’m thankful for my family,” “I appreciate my wife,” “I’m thankful for the home we’ve built,” “Thank you for loving me,” “I appreciate my career,” and anything else that you have in your life that brings you joy and happiness. Do the same thing right before going to sleep.

I think at times we all take some things for granted and we don’t focus our energy on the beautiful things that are right in front of us. Nothing is guaranteed in life, so being grateful for what you have can help keep you focused on what’s really important in life to you.

How Do I Find the Strength to Manage My Life?

Wouldn’t it be nice if life moved a bit slower and we had the time to do everything we want when we want to do it? That’s typically not how it goes. We’re usually juggling many different challenges. Some are in our personal life and some are in our professional life.
How Do I Find the Strength to Manage My Life?
Here’s the good news: You already have the strength to achieve your goals. You are strong. You may not feel like it all the time, but you are. We all have challenges and difficult times. We dig deep to find the strength. And you’ve done that time and again. It’s just in the moment when everything seems to be pulling you at the same time, it can feel overwhelming. 

Take some time to center yourself through some deep breaths and positive statements that everything will work out ok. Look at your list of to do items and prioritize them. Many things may not need to get done right then, and scheduling them for another time can provide instant relief. Next choose the easiest thing and accomplish it. This will make you feel even better and gain some confidence and momentum. Then keep it going to the next thing.

Having some structure can be helpful to look at the big picture and realize that you already have the strength to achieve your goals. Reach out for a free consultation. Take care and be well.
