• Grateful people sense that they are not
separate from others or from God. This
recognition itself brings a deep sense of
gratefulness.
• When something is not working, focus on
what is working and say, “Alhamdulillahi
Rabbil ‘Aalameen” (All praise to the Lord of
the Universe)
• If you are grateful, I will surely increase you
[in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My
punishment is severe.” [Qur’an: Chapter 14,
Verse 7].
• Tea example
Gratitude and
Religion

17
• If we have not
obstacles in our lives
we simply won’t
progress
• Successful people
have more problems
to deal with than an
ordinary

18
In relationships, forgiveness is
liberating. It frees us from a
negative attachment to a
person who has hurt us — even
if that person is someone we
love. This liberates us from the
cycle of negativity and anger
allowing us to open our hearts
to gratitude, happiness, and
love once again.
Gratitude, Forgiveness
and Relationships

19
and Relationships
• Everyone is the enemy of his
own self
• Back mirror, “live in Now”
• “Always is today”
• Being thankful opens all the
doors of opportunities

• Rewire your brain in three minutes
a day for 45 days
and Relationships
Focusing on forgiveness, training one's
brain for gratitude, or accepting gratitude as
an attitude clears a path for embracing
forgiveness and promoting positive
relationships and a certain peace of mind.

21
Humility is characterized by low self-
focus, secure sense of self, and
increased valuation of others. Humility
is being modest and respectful.
“Our reaction towards any
circumstances determines our true
strength and character”
A 14-day diary study shows that humility
and gratitude mutually predicted one
another.

Revealing the truth behind Gratitude

Gratitude Rock
The secret to this
exercise is that the rock is
just a symbol, a physical
object you can use to
remind yourself of what
you have to be thankful.

31
Gratitude Box
The gratitude box is a thoughtful
way to share your feelings with
loved ones and cultivate your own
sense of gratitude. On the paper,
write down a heartfelt message of
gratitude to your loved one.
1) “Thank you for…”
2) “What I love about you…”
3) “My holiday wish for you…”

32
Gratitude Prompts
Gratitude prompts are a great way to get started, continue
your gratitude practice. The goal is to identify at least three
things in each category that you are thankful for.
The prompts include:
• I’m grateful for these three family members:
• I’m grateful for these three things in my home:
• I’m grateful for these three friends:
• I’m grateful for these three teachers:
• I’m grateful for three things I hear:
• I’m grateful for three things I see:
• I’m grateful for three things I smell:

33
Gratitude Flower
Start by cutting out a circle
from colored paper then
create flower petals of
gratitude. On the circle,
write “Things I’m Thankful
For” or write your name or
family name

34
Sense the gratitude
Standing in front of the
mirror, focus on your eyes
that can see, ears that can
hear, a nose that can smell,
rather than just measuring
the size and diameter of
that small pimple.
