5 Reasons Why Being Thankful Makes Your Instagram Photos Better.

Sharing stories that matter.

By: The THX Co.

Instagram is an amazing tool to share our unique perspectives with the world. It allows us to genuinely capture and share the big stories, small moments and memories in between.

When it comes to capturing those perfect moments in time, one technique will always raise the craft of any Instagrammer, novice or pro.

You ready for it?

Be Thankful.

(we’ll explain)

…

1. When You’re Thankful, Life Becomes Extraordinarily Beautiful.

Life flies by us the fastest when we allow our emotions, thoughts, bosses and deadlines to push and pull us every which way besides here and now.

Being truly thankful requires you to stop being distracted and appreciate the present moment.

Once we make the decision to stop being so weathered by life, we begin to breathe in the beauty of it all.

When you’re thankful, you take in all the colors around you. You listen to rain fall and fire crackle, and you smell the beans of a freshly brewed pot of coffee. When you’re thankful, you value the person beside you, their company, and the perspective they bring to your life.

Now, that’s the recipe for an insta-perfect moment — tap tap.

2. When You’re Thankful, Captions Become Much More Hope-filled

Instagram isn’t just about sharing photos — it’s about sharing stories.

Part of what makes a good Instagram photo are the words behind every picture taker.

We’re all drawn to the belief that goodness can prevail — most of us just need a little help changing our perspective.

When you’re thankful, your perspective becomes a gem that turns the boring into the beautiful, the mundane into the magical.

3. When You’re Thankful, You Celebrate The People Who Inspire You.

Thankfulness inspires thankfulness.

No matter what somebody did, or what you’re going through, you’ve made the decision to give thanks in everything — and that’s an admirable trait. Most likely, your closest friends share this with you.

When you’re thankful, someone else’s success becomes your success. They give you a fresh perspective, motivate you, and push you to be more positive. Their inspiration becomes your inspiration. And that’s worth celebrating.

4. When You’re Thankful, You Explore More.

When you’re thankful, your perspective of the world becomes an adventure in itself.

So why stop there? This world is big, so why not explore it. Go for a hike in the woods, take a sunset run, make a detour driving home, or start a conversation with a stranger.

5. When You’re Thankful, and Your Phone Dies - You Still Live.

So often, what people see and experience through their phone inhibits them from experiencing the world around us. And that’s not right.

In a world so obsessed with technology, we can begin to feel disconnected from those around us. Social networks and status updates have taken the place of genuine community and old-school relationships.

When you’re thankful, life becomes more awesome — whether or not your phone is accessible. In fact, the most hashtag worthy moments usually wind up happening in between the stills.

So, don’t be afraid to leave your phone at home once and a while.

Your soul will thank you, too.
