Do you have a gratitude practice?

[Li****]

I just read an article about gratitude and the benefits of having a gratitude practice, and it really resonated with me! I recently also saw a video that reminded me of how our thoughts control so much of how we're feeling, both physically and mentally, and I think a gratitude practice plays a big part in that.

It's easy to wake up and think 'Ugh, am I getting ill? Am I actually really tired still? Will this day suck?" and that will then influence your day and your state of mind negatively. It is so easy for us to focus on the negative, and allowing problems to take over our whole mind making everything feel terrible. But, making a habit of writing down, saying out loud, our just thinking to your self, 3 things that you are grateful for can really help with that mindset. 

'Count your blessings' might sound super cheesy, but it can actually be a great place to start your gratitude practice. 

Do you have a gratitude practice? In what way has it been helpful to you?

I write down 3 things that were good but unexpected from my day and 3 things I want to be happy about the next day. In the morning I read them and its starts me off grateful each day

I've been reading lots about this lately too. I do morning pages every morning and just recently started adding 3-6 things I am grateful for on that day, or what I was grateful for the day before. It's quite a powerful practice. The hard part I guess is keeping at it. But then again, if you just look around, you realise very quickly that there literally is SO much to be grateful for.

I have recently downloaded an app called Bliss.
It is like a pisitive diary, lets you put positive notes in different topics, like
Gtatitude excercise, Could be worse, Honouring people, three good things...and many more
Really cool app, I find it useful, also saving paper and trees ?
