September 21: World Gratitude Day

September 21st is World Gratitude Day, and it's a time to be grateful for all that you have. It may sound like an overly positive holiday, but keeping gratitude alive can change your life. When we focus on what we're thankful for each day, our happiness increases exponentially. 

For one day a year, people all over the world stop and take time to reflect on what they're thankful for. This is an opportunity to pause in the hustle and bustle of life and appreciate what we have and how to practice gratitude. It's also a chance to give thanks for things that may not come so easily every day, like our health or family members who help us out during difficult times.

In honor of World Gratitude Day 2021 on November 20th, many brands are getting into the spirit by donating money or products to charities. Here are some brands that are wishing “Happy Gratitude Day” in different ways that benefit the masses.

TOMS: Investing ⅓ of their profits in grassroots efforts

TOMS is spreading gratitude with its initiative to make a difference in people's lives by investing ⅓ of profits into grassroots efforts for change. They look forward to having a future where all people have the chance to thrive. They believe that every individual has the right to succeed, regardless of their background or situation and they work hard with these beliefs as motivation daily!

Grassroots movements are powerful because they harness the community’s passion and creativity. These leaders have insights rooted in their shared experience with others who face similar challenges - but often lack access to financial resources needed for growth.

The results show how grassroots organizations can be highly effective at addressing issues that affect them all; these successes come from having passionate members leading efforts like mobilizing people against scarce services or raising awareness about high rates of poverty within society.

The process of progress begins on the ground and it can be led by those who are closest to a community's obstacles. The variety in communities means there is no one-size-fits-all solution, which makes grassroots efforts important for creating sustainable change that takes into account each individual area’s needs.

Ideas to Celebrate World Gratitude Day

World Gratitude Day is a day to celebrate the many ways we can be thankful. 

• You can be grateful just for waking up and experiencing another new day.

• Be grateful for your family members and friends who love you unconditionally.

• Take time out of each day to appreciate nature's blessings like beautiful sunsets or foggy mornings that reveal nice views on hikes through mountains.

• Thank your pet who has always been there no matter what happens in life.

• We often take our health for granted as well, yet this is another thing to be grateful for. 

• You can also appreciate the many benefits that come with a job; from providing food and shelter in an otherwise hungry world or giving you purpose by allowing time management of your own life outside work hours.

• In some families, it is not easy to get along. But on World Gratitude Day you should all try and work together as one family in making the present day something to be grateful for.

• You can take a few minutes out of your day and write down 5 things that make you happy that you are grateful for. It'll be worth it in no time at all because this only takes one step towards feeling better.
