Is it possible to feel joyful when the world is falling apart?
So, how can you start a gratitude practice? There are myriad ways you can do this, from setting aside time to write a gratitude journal each day, or simply recording things you are grateful for in the notes section of your phone, or creating a WhatsApp group with friends where you can share your own gratitude and revel in your friends too.
It doesn't even have to be that rigid if you struggle with setting daily tasks like this; simply saying three things you're grateful for aloud – or in your head, if you're in public – whenever you remember will bring you joy at that moment.from around the world that have sought to measure brain activity during chanting, and nearly all of the studies found that chanting improved mood and reduced stress levels.
Plus, chanting can help you sleep, boost serotonin and generally help you feel more uplifted – in a similar way to belting out your favourite song at the top of your voice. Whether you want to join a group class at your local yoga studio or just find a quiet space in your home, head to YouTube and dip in whenever you please, the calming and joyful effect can be felt during and after just one session.
And you needn't worry if your rhythm is off, because simply shaking your body around is also known to help regulate your nervous system and calm the body when it's overstimulated. And, amazingly, some experts believe that you can actually help to heal trauma this way too. In Dr Peter Levine's book, he notes that animals can be observed shaking to release tension and stress, and there's a suggestion that it can do the same for humans too.
