At just 16 years old, this female activist is fighting against Climate Change in the hopes to make this world a better place to live in. 21 September marks World Gratitude Day. Saying that, one of the best ways you can practice Gratitude is by making Mother Earth happy again. What can you do, you might wonder? Be more eco-friendly. Here are some ways: Save water by using just as much as you need and turning the water off at the right time. Remember the golden rule: Reduce, reuse and recycle. Save energy by turning off electronic equipment when they are not in use. Say NO to plastic. Say YES to growing plants – Sow one yourself! Other daily gratitude practices: Stick it on the fridge: Create a gratitude list with your family. Post it up on your refrigerator. Had a great day at school day? Enjoyed the dinner your mother cooked for you? Keep adding things to the list! Beautify complaints in to praises: The next time you are upset, interrupt your thoughts and words with something you are grateful for and see your mood change! The Alphabet Game: Make car rides or dinner time with family more fun! Take turns as you go through the letters of the alphabet. Mention anything you are thankful for. Example: A for “Animals” or B for “Bed”. Gratitude Walk: The outdoors always has its arms open to everyone. Nature is God’s gift to mankind. So put on your sneakers and take a walk outside with your parents. Appreciate the sunset, hug a tree and notice your beautiful surroundings. Sprinkle “Thank you” like sugar: Grateful people are always more beautiful and happy. Using your manners; say the magical words “Thank you” every time you appreciate something. It is guaranteed to make someone smile. Donating Day: Pick a day every few months where you give back to those who are less fortunate. Stock up your old stationary, clothes or toys and hand it over to someone who isn’t as fortunate. While you do this, count your blessings. Compliments and hugs galore: Hug a loved one tightly and gift them a compliment. Tell your parents how dear they are to you. Thank a friend. Remember: Superheroes have magic powers but kind actions and words do too!
