Let's talk a little bit about executing your gratitude's. 

 

It may seem simple but today we have a few tips that can help make this habit even more effective. 

 

1. Write them down!

Yes, just thinking about your daily gratitude can help but there is something very powerful about putting pen to paper and getting those thoughts out of your head and into the open. It makes them more real and allows you to really gain a better perspective. 

 

2. Make them authentic

Just writing down three things as quick as you can isn't going to give you great results. They have to be something real and authentic to your daily life to give you the most benefit.  They don't need to be some profound revelation.  For example, I am grateful for the chair I am sitting on.  It sure beats sitting on the floor.   

 

3. Do it daily

Being grateful once in a while won't make the changes you are looking for. This has to be a DAILY practice to get the amazing benefits. It doesn't have to take you a long time every day, but this can be a habit that impacts not only your life but the lives of people close to you.

 

Bonus: Find a common theme

This is a tip that you don't have to follow but I have found to be helpful. Instead of writing down three random gratitude's every day, I try to find a common theme. It might be the relationships I have in my life, something to do with nature, or even my overall health. The theme does not matter, but it does help me focus on one area of my life for that day (or week) and get a much deeper appreciation. 

 

There you have it!
