The Grateful
Challenge
You started the day feeling kinda down... but what if you could shift that? List 10 things you're grateful for, create a short video, and watch your spirit lift—then inspire others to do the same.
How The Challenge Works
A simple framework that takes you from feeling down to feeling grateful in less than 60 seconds
Start with honesty
Open your video with truth: "I'm not gonna lie... today I was feeling kinda down." Vulnerability connects.
Make the turn
"But then I stopped... and I remembered what I still have." This is where the shift begins.
List your 10 gratitudes
Pick 10 things—big or small—that remind you life still has beauty. Each one gets 4 images (40 total).
Add uplifting music
Choose a track that elevates the mood. Use your platform's licensed music library to keep it legal and shareable.
Share and invite others
Post your video and challenge others to do the same. One lifted spirit creates many lifted spirits.
