107- Acceptance this week has been a great lesson in acceptance. I’m so used to being someone whose high functioning. I have lots of dreams and ambitions, a lot of which aren’t possible. This has been a major source of frustration for me and this week I’ve learned, not being able to achieve these things are okay! This is where I am right now and the more I try to fight against the reality, the more stress and exhaustion it causes me. I am so grateful for the peace that this acceptance brings. I’m grateful for the ability to let go of what “should” be and be okay with what is. PC: @youlookokaytome ❤️ #100daysofgratitude #attitudeofgratitude •

I forgot day 27 yesterday, so today I am grateful for my body. Grateful for how sore I am and how I have been working on loving it more. I truly feel like my journey of self love has been gaining momentum... and I need to start being more proud. #100daysofgratitude #selflove #selfcare #gratitude #grateful #thankful
128- Sunday, I spent the whole day in the hospital with a suspected spine infection. By the end of my long hospital day @vancitymatthews came to pick me up. I am so grateful for him and the friends I’ve made in Vancouver. I am so grateful to have people I can count on when I need a hand. All of your support and understanding blows my mind and I appreciate it more than I can express. Thank you to @vancitymatthews for being such an amazing friend and to all of you who continue to support me without fail ❤️ chronic illness is hard, but it’s a tiny bit easier surround by incredible people. #100daysofgratitude #attitudeofgratitude (the doctors have ruled out spine infection! They did find a lot of swelling in my spinal column, so lots of physio for me coming up!) •

Today, on day 12 of #100daysofgratitude I'm grateful for my hip-to-waist ratio
.
As I touched upon in an earlier post, this might seem superficial (it is), but I don't see anything inherently wrong with being proud of physical attributes one posses, especially if that appreciation is accompanied by the reality check that everything (including body shape) is temporary.
.
Also, it's pretty cool to read about why exactly a certain ratio is attractive and indicates health/fertility. .
If anyone's interested in this and other evolutionary psychology facts, I highly recommend reading 'Why beautiful people have more daughters'. ♀️
Day 46 of #100daysofgratitude and today I'm grateful for weight training
•
I've started getting into weights about 1.5 years ago and it has changed me for the better ever since
•
Getting stronger and fitter has not only elevated my energy levels and made me more productive, but it has had a transcending effect on pretty much all other areas of my life, as well
•
Who knew picking up heavy things could be so fulfilling?
Day 6 of #100daysofgratitude and today I'm grateful for my abs.
I know this may be superficial and vain, but I don't believe we should feel guilty for appreciating beauty in ourselves and recognizing it, as it's not permanent and rather fleeting.
I know I'll look back at my thirst traps when I'm a 90 year old grandma and regret not appreciating my body when I was young and bad . To mitigate this risk, I'm appreciating it now and urge you to do the same, as I'm certain you have beautiful things about you.
-DAILY PRACTICE-
.
I want to share my current gratitude practice created by lovely @maisirry . Are you with me stardustchildren? I am doing this practice until the end of the year. #100daysofgratitude . So, this is how it works:
.
1. Upon waking up: "thank you for a new day to practice counting my blessings"
.
2. Set the intention: "I am willing to see the good in my life today"
.
3. Deeper practice: pick 1 or 2 things and go deeper into why I appreciate them. Example - "I am grateful for my sister, whom I miss very much. She taught me how to take care of myself and my mental health, and inspired me to use art and creativity as tools for healing and self-expression"
.
4. Sit with what comes up: if the gratitude triggers sadness or fear or whatever, sit with it until it passes, without suppressing it or acting it out.
.
5. Postpone: if it gets overwhelming, postpone the practice and say "I am willing to try this again tomorrow, and to see the benefit another time" then thank myself for trying and for being kind to myself.
.
6. Aim: to go to bed saying "thanks for everything, I have no complaints whatsoever." If not there yet, saying something like "I am willing to say that another time, but for today my gratitude is what it is"
.
XOXO,
Carrie
