    1. I'm grateful that I'm not hungover. I could be feeling a lot worse than I am right now.
    2. I'm grateful that I am free of any major life-threatening illnesses. I do not have to go through every day with that bad news hanging over my head.
    3. I'm grateful for the ability to improve myself. My qualities and characteristics can be enhanced with passion, toil and training.

    1. I'm grateful for rain. A 90km bike ride today, and I think it was raining for about 88 of them. I've never felt so refreshed.

    2. I'm grateful for my beloved Western Sydney Wanderers. Alright, we fell at the final hurdle this season (just a couple of hours ago actually), but they've provided me great entertainment, and even the chance to make some new friends.

    3. I'm grateful to have access to good food. I'm going to take advantage of that right now.

    * I'm grateful for the podcast "Mental illness happy hour". It's inspiring to me that many other people also struggle with mental health challenges. Of course, I wish that we could all overcome them. But it would suck to be the only one who's ever been struggling with that.

    * I'm grateful for people who are willing to share openly their mental health struggles, both on that podcast and on other outlets. It takes courage to do and it helps other people a lot.

    * I'm grateful for Sean Stephenson. He's an inspiration.

    Day 35 ( last few days i was on a bad emotional state, so i didn't post )

    1) I'm grateful this weekend, my procrastination wasn't as depressive as before

    2) I'm grateful for my physical and emotional endurance ( resistance ? ). My belly is hurting for the past 5 days ( went through some diarrhea ), i have some psychological problems, yet I'm still here. ( I talk as if i'm the most troubled person in the planet lol )

    3) I'm grateful for "good" weather. Not for the casual reasons, but because if it's "good" weather now ... sometime in the future it will be "bad" weather, which i love :p.

    1. I'm grateful that I've had the discipline to take a 21-day break from Youtube. I was spending way too much time on Youtube.

    2. I'm grateful for Youtube. Youtube can be amazingly resourceful, for free and without ads if you have adblock. It can become addictive and there's a lot of filth on Youtube as well, so it can be a good way to train one's discipline, to use youtube in a wise and resourceful way.

    3. I'm grateful that I've had the discipline to do NoFap for a month now! And that I've stayed away from p subs for 9 days.

    Day 36

    1) I'm grateful that i have eyes on my face. Dunno why, but a lot of people i know seem like they are the most ingenuous people on the planet ... Either 1º They just live on a fantasy world or 2º I'm the one being tricked here and I'm the naive one.

    2) I'm grateful that i, sometimes, even though of my social anxiety and shyness, can deny the " sheep effect ". For example, today we could choose between staying in class and watch a film, or go to a lecture and workshop about some certain jobs. I wanted to go to the lecture, because it was about medicine ( which i like ). But my other 2 friends wanted to stay and watch the film. 1 of them ( let's call him "Sheep" ), said "The lecture will be a waste of time, and watching a film is so much better", after knowing our friend in common also wanted to watch the film. After 1 min on the classroom, this friend in common decides to come with me to the lecture ( i was still there waiting, because the teacher was counting who was going ). Guess what Sheep does ... Yes, you guessed right ( maybe :cool: ), he followed our friend in common ( and me ) to the lecture. Then i asked Sheep why he changed his mind so quickly ... He answers "Well, i had already watched the movie". Now, Sheep loves films, and i know he could watch a film 10 times straight and not complain...

    I could give more examples, but this is the Gratitude Attitude Challenge, not the Tell Your Life story Challenge :p

    3) I'm grateful that today i completly avoided PMO thoughts
    I have a problem with transgendered person porn. And today, i started having those little hints of "anal play" and "girls with penis" ( who, afterall, are guys with girly physique :p ), but gladly those went away

    From memory it was around four hours. Maybe a little bit longer. There was a lot of hill work, and I was a little more cautious than usual on the downhill sections.

    1. I'm grateful for the lorikeet bird song I heard on a walk earlier. Just beautiful.

    2. I'm grateful that it's such a beautiful night outside.

    3. I'm grateful for the things I saw on my bike ride this morning, clouds in valleys and so on, leftover from last night's rain.

    4. I'm grateful for my memory that can help me recall some of the beautiful things I see in the world.

    5. I'm grateful for my camera, which can help my eyes recall things that my memory might miss occasionally.

    6. I'm grateful for all the energy I had today. I just felt great all day.

    Six because I missed out on posting yesterday.

    * I had a job interview today, I didn't sleep much last night and felt like a nervous wreck. But they were very nice and friendly, I'm grateful for that.

    * I feel now that I should have rephrased some things and that I could have talked more coherently. But I'm grateful for the good things that I did said.

    And as I've said before, I'm grateful that I got the opportunity to go to the job interview. Just getting to go there means that I did something right.

    * I went to several job interviews during the summer and autumn last year. I always felt a lot of pressure before every interview. Sort of thinking "oh I have to get this job, it's the last chance I'll get!". But I've gotten plenty of chances, I've gotten to go to several job interviews. I'm grateful for that.

    1) I'm grateful for this ever-awesome thread!
    3) I'm grateful for the realisation of FREEDOM. I mean, I'm free to consciously skip to '3)' instead of '2)' . Similarly, I'm free to choose not to PMO even when I'm urged to.

    1. I'm grateful that none of my loved ones perished last night. Not everybody on planet earth can say the same thing.
    2. I'm grateful for the warm clothes I am wearing. They insulate me against the blistering cold.
    3. I'm grateful for the wonderful, supportive NoFap community. They have been a rock of support through troubled times.
    4. I'm grateful for the Tiny Buddha that resides within us all. Everyone has the capacity for love, compassion and empathy.
    5. I'm grateful for my ability to touch-type. It makes doing my Gratitude Journal so much quicker and easier!
    6. I'm grateful for the Procrastinators Anonymous Chatbox. It helps me stay on task and keep myself reasonably motivated.

    1. I'm grateful that cleaning out my freezer turned out to be easier than I thought.

    2. I'm grateful that I'm about to go to bed as soon as I finish this post -- I am very tired.

    3. I'm grateful to BushidoWarrior for starting this thread. Even when I'm tired and/or stressed, I can come here and think of the reasons not to feel so angry.

    Wow this is awesome! Was thinking of starting something like this myself. Anyway, here goes;

    1. I am grateful for life and health; I see life as a gift and a course ''worth living for''. I am happy to be alive and enjoy and experience life. Without my health, I would not be able to enjoy life.

    2. I am grateful for a roof over my head and food on the table.

    3. I am grateful for a family that loves me and that I can love in return.
