This is the announcement post for the 14-Day Gratitude Challenge held in Aug 2013, where we practice gratitude for 14 days. The challenge is now over but you can do the tasks in your own time. Visit the overview page for all the challenge tasks.
Do you practise gratitude in your life?
Do you love giving gratitude to others?
Would you like to cultivate the habit of gratitude?
If you answered yes to any of the questions, then the upcoming 14-day Gratitude Challenge is just for you!
Introducing: 14-Day Gratitude Challenge!
Come 15 Aug, I’ll be conducting a 14-day gratitude challenge, where participants from around the world will practice gratitude for 14 days till the end of the month (28 Aug, to be precise). Every day, I will post a task of gratitude which you have to complete within the day itself. The task can range from giving thanks to your food, to transforming an ungrateful thought, to showing your appreciation to someone.
At the end of the day, you are to report back to the site to share your results for the day itself and to join other participants in their discussions.
The challenge will end on 28 Aug, where you reflect on your journey of gratitude in the past 14 days as well as create your plan on how to continue practise gratitude moving forward.
This will be an extremely simple yet exciting challenge which will permanently impact your life as well as others’ lives around you. Given that it’s been almost eight months since I ran any challenge (the last one was the 2013 Countdown Challenge), I can’t wait to start this with all of you! :D

Hi Celes,
I would like to join 14 days Gratitude Challenge Program.
Arun.
So excited to join the gratitude challenge! This is a perfect idea that couldn’t have come at a better time!
Hi Celes! I’m very excited to take this first challenge with you! I’ve been an ardent follower of your posts etc., for a couple months now and must say I’ve become more introspective and hopeful towards every aspect of my life. PE is like my go-to guide for some of my biggest internal questions. I’m normally a very giving person, but I know gratitude encompasses more than that…i’m very willing to see what these 14 days have in store for me!
I’d love to join, too! :)

Hi Celes, I’d love to join the challenge :) Not sure how active I’ll be able to be, as I’m very busy at the moment, but I’d love to hop on board again! Your challenges have meant a lot to me since I first discovered them and have always been a source of personal growth, so I’ll try my best to keep up again this time :) Thank you for creating such great experiences and your blog followers are such an inspiring, uplifting group of people!
Haha, speaking of blogs, I’m actually currently busy designing blog templates, I recently started selling them over at my Etsy shop… (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Mindflight) I’m also available for custom blog design if anyone’s interested? :)
I do have a blog, I’m still kinda working on finding my blogging-mojo though… Maybe if all goes well I can share my gratitude posts there… (http://www.mindflight.me)
Hi Ffion, great to have you on board too! :D Don’t worry about being busy with other things — just participate in your own capacity, wherever you can! Beats not participating at all after all!
I’m so glad that you have found the challenges meaningful–on my end I’ve found you such a wonderful participant who adds value to every single thing she partakes in!
Hope you get to share your gratitude posts at your blog. I’m sure you are going to be inspire so many of your readers on gratitude and appreciation with you leading by example!
I’ll drop by your blog :D
Hi there – I’d be thrilled to sign up please. I really try to do my best with this but would be interested to see what you suggest! Thanks so much! marge
What a great challenge, looking forward to my daily tasks!
I’m a day late, but I’m down for a little extra gratitude over the next two weeks. Thanks for doing this!
Celes, please sign me up for the gratitude challenge. I am creating my journal now and excited to participate.
Count me in….I’ve never done something like this and am very excited to get started!
