Practice: Write Down 3 Things You Are Grateful For Today

 

Today is the start of a new practice:  Gratitude!

 

This is a practice I've witness working with my wife and son. Every night, they end their prayers buy stating 3 things that happened, during that day, that they are grateful for.

 

According to a quick google search Gratitude (noun) is defined as; the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

 

Quite simply, gratitude is short for counting our blessings.

 

Today, count 3 blessings you have in your life.  If you have an empty notebook, try writing in there.  If you already keep a journal, put these at the top. 

 

This week, we will talk about the science behind gratitude and how it really does make us happier.

 

Your task for the next 7 days is to write 3 things you are grateful.  

 

They can be small, they can be profound, they are yours.  No one needs to see them.

 

Time to get writing!

 

 

It starts in your head...
