In a world yearning for deeper connections, gratitude emerges as the transformative force to revolutionise relationships. Trends from 2024, such as “situationships” and emotionally guarded partnerships, have highlighted the need for authentic, meaningful bonds. By prioritising mental health and gratitude, 2025 offers an opportunity to nurture connections that heal and uplift.
We speak with Aashmeen Munjaal, Founder of Shukrana Gratitude Foundation, who says: “Gratitude, as championed by Rhonda Byrne and Louise Hay, is the soul of a thriving relationship."
Steps to Build Meaningful Relationships Through Gratitude, According to Munjaal
Gratitude as Emotional Armor:
Start and end your day with gratitude affirmations for your partner, inspired by Louise Hay’s teachings. By appreciating their presence and efforts, you shift focus from flaws to blessings, creating an emotionally secure environment.
Transform Conflict into Connection:
When disagreements arise, use the “Pause and Thank” method. Take a moment to silently express gratitude for your partner’s perspective, even during a heated moment. This technique fosters empathy and helps de-escalate conflicts.
Create a “Gratitude Love Map”:
Document shared goals, dreams, and moments of joy in a visual love map. This practice combines Louise Hay’s affirmation techniques with a shared gratitude ritual, strengthening your emotional bond and celebrating your journey together.
Engage in Heal Your Life Rituals Together:
Incorporate gratitude journaling, meditations, and affirmations into your daily routine. The Heal Your Life Advance Sessions will guide couples on how to heal emotional wounds and nurture deeper intimacy using gratitude as a tool.
Inspire Growth with Affirmations:
Motivate your partner with affirmations of their strengths and potential. Inspired by Louise Hay, phrases like “I am grateful for your resilience and love” can act as seeds for personal and relational growth.
