Feeling grateful and showing appreciation are key to creating more of what you want. Do you know the difference between gratitude and appreciation? Dictionary.com defines gratitude as “the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful.” Appreciation is “gratitude; thankful recognition.” It sounds like they’re the same. But when you look closer, you’ll see that appreciation is something you do, not feel. Thankful recognition is showing how grateful you are for what you’re given.
More Appreciation = More Joy
When you’re grateful, you’ll bring more joy into your life. When you show appreciation, you’re acting on your gratitude. These acts help you create more of what you want in your life. What to know more, check out this short video.

- Close your eyes, breath in through your nose and out through your mouth 10 times.
- While you’re breathing, say what you wrote in #2 and keep repeating it for all 10 breaths.
- When you are done with your breaths and saying what you’re grateful for, open you eyes.
- Now write down how you’ll show appreciation for your strengths by committing to act on it. Example…”I’m grateful for being sensitive and will show compassion wherever I go.”
