Maybe you've never done this
I don't know if you've ever done this, but create a list of things you're grateful for, followed by a list of things you feel you miss.
Few people regularly perform this daily exercise, despite its well-established benefits.
The moment you write it down with pen and paper, everything becomes clearer. Try it; it won't cost you anything.
Do this.
Take a sheet of paper and divide it in half with a vertical line.
Now, on the left column, list your gratitudes; on the right, list what you feel you're missing.
Once you've done this, check whether what you feel you're missing is a genuine need, or a suggestion coming to you from your real and virtual world.
Do you truly need that thing, or is it a false stimulus?
You see, most people don't appreciate what's precious to them until they lose it. How much is someone who loves you worth, be it a partner or a friend? And how much is your health and that of your loved ones worth? And how much is your honesty worth?
Yes, honesty should also be included in the list of gratitudes, along with politeness and consideration for others.
And think about it, love, friendship, honesty, education, and even health are all free values that you can't find in stores or online.
Goods of high human value are free; commercial ones are bought. Which ones do you see advertised?
So be careful, don't fall for the bait of induced needs; focus on gratitude.
And you, have you ever made your list of daily gratitudes? Not yet. What are you waiting for?
