What is Three Gratitude Bubble Technique of Intentional Gratitude

• Use a page of your journal or any sheet of paper
• Make 7 gratitude bubbles or gratitude cloud or gratitude circles
• Assign one area of life to each bubble where you want to feel happy and grateful

Areas can be any 7 things which are important for you. Some examples are self-love, exercise, poetry, blog, journaling, meditation, home improvement, music, work, cooking, family, me-time, nature, reading, dance, travel, finances, child care, relationship, money education etc.

Every day you have to write only 3 gratitude following the below conditions:

• 1 gratitude in 1 bubble in a day.  So, every day you will be putting 3 things you did in 3 different area of life bubbles. This is to encourage you to be mindful of your experiences throughout the day and choose the best 3
• For 1 week, every day you will write 3 gratitudes. So, by end of the week all your bubbles will be full of 3 gratitudes per category.
• There can be days when you have less than 3 gratitude and that’s okay. Go ahead and write those. Tomorrow will be better.
• Since there cannot be more than 3 gratitudes in any bubble, you will find asking yourself questions like: what did I do or what can I do in the day to be happy about something else also. This will push you to be thankful in all areas of life.
• If your bubble is full and you cannot write a gratitude for any other areas you can create a new bubble with same name and add your gratitude.

This is a model that works on your intent and makes you want to take action as well.

It also encourages the fact that small happiness when counted brings us a lot more joy. Like reading this article, thinking about being grateful, waking up today and showing up at the dinner table, everything you did is important. All you need is to be mindful and be aware how you are creating your one true happy reality.
