Dreamer

Well, hello to you too!

I hope that your weekend is full of adventures and good times. Mine is a bit sad cause my vacation is over, Monday, I’ll be back to work. 

Yet, here is another month. Monday was November first and, 2021 is nearly over. 

Internationally, November is known as a gratefulness month. These 30 days we should use to set back and watch how many things we have, how many we accomplished this year, the beautiful people in our lives.

As once Cicero once said: “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the mother of all the others.” 

We live our lives on high alert. Yours truly is guilty too about this fact. Often, we surround ourselves with things that “have to be done” and we lose the true meaning of life. We walk with eyes down to our phones; we spend nights in a bubble of TV Shows; hear but won’t listen; look but won’t see. We spend our time next to our loved ones but not with them. And it became so automatic to do so that we don’t necessarily realize that it can be better than this.

We live in a world with so many opportunities, with many possibilities, beautiful people, great places, and we still complain.

We should take this month as an opportunity. The weather is chilly, is right before the Winter holidays frenzy. We have the time to be more mindful, grateful, present in our lives and our loved ones.

So, to keep it short and simple, I challenge you today to start with me a gratitude challenge that might end up in two gratitude challenges. 

Confusing? I bet, so let me enlighten you!

I challenge you that for the next three weeks and a half, until December first, to give a meaningful purpose to this month.

I’ll let here the challenge, but you’ll find it here, ready to print it!

A month of gratitude challenge

• Week 1: Start a gratitude journal.
• Week 2: Declutter your life.
• Week 3: Thanksgiving challenge.
• Week 4: Connect with loved ones.

And with week 3, you might be able to understand why two challenges in one.

Why this challenge? A gratitude journal can help us see what we have in our lives and whom do we have. It easily can be done with a notebook or with the Gratitude app to have it around whenever.

The second week is to help you make room for people, things, and experiences that fulfill your life. Our lives are full of clutter. Things we don’t need; people that might use us but never pick up the phone when we need them, so let’s choose ourselves. After all, self-love is the first kind of love we have to nourish.

The third week of the challenge is something I talked about last year, and you’ll find it here for details!

Last, but not least is about what matters in our lives: people; specifically our loved ones. It’s time to show them love, respect, and care, things we all need to flourish.

I let you go back to your Sunday activities now with the hope that you’ll have an amazing week and #adreamerlife!

P.S Here is an amazing view I had yesterday!
