The Key to Finding Happiness in Less Than Five Minutes Per Day

Five minutes of time to gain a whole lot in return

Every year seems to rush off, leaving us scuffling to catch up.

Now that Christmas is over, I still believe I wasn’t ready for it. It so happens I’m not prepared for the new year.

But I’m grateful that I made it — even though a loved one didn’t get this far.

I learned to practice the art of gratitude when I was going through a hard time.

For six months, I worked alongside as a support person for my mum during her cancer diagnosis.

During the time, extreme stress was a daily occurrence.

I also became obsessed with keeping mum alive. The thought of her death brought on anxiety and overwhelming sadness.

You’re never ready for the experience of death — no matter who it is.

Six Things I Wish I Did More Of, Now That I’m a Lot Older

When reflecting on my life, I do wish I did these things a lot earlier.

During that challenging phase of my life, I took control of my emotions by doing the following things:-

I started writing my feelings, which morphed into writing about a lot of things and publishing them on Medium.
I practiced gratitude for all the things I saw, which were wonderful.
I submitted to God's mighty plan and accepted mum life would soon end.

Every day, I would set aside five minutes — just that tiny pocket of time, to outline my expression of gratitude.

My list was relatively small, sharp, and to the point.

It added some sunshine into my darkest days.

It would always look somewhat like this:

Three things I’m grateful for today —August 5th, 2021

Hearing mums voice in the morning and spending another day with her
My cat Henry sitting on my lap, staring into my eyes, purring
Seeing the first flower in my garden bloom as spring arrives soon

When I wrote these down, I felt that I was truly blessed.

Even when mum passed away, I was grateful to see her take her last breath.

I was also thankful I get to hold that experience in my heart for the rest of my life.

In the depths of sadness, we can always find something extraordinary.

If you have experienced the death of a loved one — sometimes that’s all you have to look for — but it’s something.

Will it do you any good thinking of sad moments or the things that have gone wrong?

That brings more of the stuff you don’t want.

So, for 2022, may I suggest lovingly seeking three things, no matter what, & expressing gratitude for them.

Then, in a matter of weeks, you will no longer have to find them — because it will find you.
