Simple Seven Gratitude Mantras

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 …

1. 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.
2. Say thanks to your parent /sibling /spouse /friend – Do it verbally, send a message, or even better with a hand-written ‘thank you’ note.
3. Thank yourself – Pat yourself on your back for simple things each day like keeping away from the festive sweets!
4. Savor the good moments – If you notice you’re feeling happy, hold that instance, and pay attention for a few minutes.
5. Check for silver linings – When things appear tough, ask yourself, “What’s good in this for me?”
6. Sharing someone’s predicament – Can trigger a sense of gratitude.
7. 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.
