What to make your livelihood arrive with blessing ?
The main thing is to recognize that everything, absolutely everything, especially sustenance, comes from the blessing of the Blessed Creator, and one of the ways for it to reach us more easily and with more blessing is "Gratitude" So that is why we recite the blessings corresponding to each food before eating it, for example:
The blessing of bread, the blessing of food from the earth, the tree, etc. We even have the blessing of water.
It is also very important to bless and give thanks for the food (Birkat Hamazon) once we have eaten our fill, as it is written:
"When you eat and are satisfied, you will bless the Creator your Lord in the good land he has given you."
(Debarim-Deuteronomy 8:10)
And even if the food is minimal, one should bless the Creator with a satisfied heart. Then the blessing will be sent to us, even to our bodies, and this will give us satiety.
For a broken heart alludes to hunger and poverty, while a satisfied heart produces abundance and blessings.
How important is gratitude for the food that the Creator gives us, that is why the Torah commands us this great precept.
Now you can understand what people often ask: What did he say when he drank the glass of water? Or when he ate a simple peanut or a small piece of candy?
We bless every food, no matter how small or simple!
If you want to learn some of the basic blessings, today we will give you these:

-Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, by Whose word all things were called into being-In Hebrew we say:
"Baruch ata A-do-nai, Elo-hei-nu Melech HaOlam sheakol nihia bidbaro"
The fruits They receive the "haetz" blessing. According to Jewish law, fruit is defined as something that grows on an evergreen tree that does not renew its trunk and does not grow too close to the ground. Therefore, apples, grapes, nuts (except peanuts), and figs are fruits, but strawberries, watermelon, and bananas are not:
