A spirit of gratitude and appreciation for the good things in your life can help you feel optimistic and stay positive in your everyday life.
Here are seven ways to be a more thankful person …
- Say out loud three good things that happened in the day – when you’re alone by yourself? or make itfun, like at the family dinner table or when you tuck your kid in bed.
- Say thanks to your parent /sibling /spouse /friend – Do it verbally, send a message, or even better with a hand-written ‘thank you’ note.
- Thank yourself – Pat yourself on your back for simple things each day like keeping away from the festive sweets!
- Savor the good moments – If you notice you’re feeling happy, hold that instance, and pay attention for a few minutes.
- Check for silver linings – When things appear tough, ask yourself, “What’s good in this for me?”
- Sharing someone’s predicament – Can trigger a sense of gratitude.
- Keep a gratitude journal – For a start, jot down even the small things like waking up to a normal day!
Remember, to be grateful is to be full of pleasure.
