Stepping back and creating a regular practice of gratitude makes us happier. It builds the muscle of seeking and recognising silver linings. It makes us more productive. More optimistic.
Practising gratitude also helps us realise how lucky we are. How frequently we prevail against the odds. Gratitude helps us appreciate the beauty of serendipity, and the scarcity of time.
Practice gratitude and you鈥檒l learn to cherish time with loved ones, minimise regret, and capitalise on opportunities.
It doesn鈥檛 need to be a colossal effort - you don鈥檛 need to meditate like a monk. Just think of one thing you鈥檙e grateful for. Every day if you can. Write it down. And you鈥檒l flourish!
