Embracing Gratitude for the Unsung Heroes of Dental Hygiene and Personal Growth
A Gratitude Journal Entry
Dear Duniyawaalo (People of the World),
Today and this beautiful morning as I am brushing my teeth, I am grateful for my toothbrush and toothpaste. These simple tools that I often take for granted have helped me immensely in maintaining my dental hygiene and wellbeing. It has blessed me with a bright and healthy smile that not only lifts mood, but also the mood of everyone around me.
My toothpaste and toothbrush not only help me with my brushing, but also serve as a powerful anchor for my daily morning rituals of meditation and writing in my gratitude journal. This seemingly innocuous and mundane task acts as a trigger that signals my brain to transition onto a state of intentional flow thereby laying the groundwork for a productive and mindful day ahead.
The daily discipline of brushing my teeth has taught me an invaluable lesson about the power of consistency and how small simple acts, repeated over time can have a significant impact on my life. It helps me realize that these lessons of consistency can easily be applied to other aspects of my personal and professional life, from exercise and healthy eating to goal-setting and personal development.
To me personally my toothpaste and toothbrush have become a cornerstone of my morning ritual and a symbol of discipline, consistency and gratitude.
I am grateful that I have easy access to basic necessities like toothpaste and toothbrush when not everyone in the world has access to basic dental care. This is something I keep telling myself that I should never take for granted. It makes me realize that I need to be mindful of the privilege I have and use it to make a positive difference in the world.
❤️ Rajneesh
