Attitude of gratitude.

• Make it a habit to create a daily practice list. When you write down your actions you deepen your commitment and stay on track.



• Use your Daily Log to keep expanding your gratitude list every day. Writing down what you appreciate in your life helps to create and anchor positive emotions.
• Start each day thinking of all you have to be grateful for in life. As you place your feet on the floor each morning say, “Thank you!”
• Make it a practice to express gratitude throughout the day. Bring appreciation into each part of your day. It’s good to recognize the same areas in your life each day so you don’t start to take things for granted.
• Expressing appreciation to the people in your life every day is great way to lift your mood (and theirs).
• Put up visual reminders that capture your attention throughout the day.
• Carry a gratitude token or rock as a reminder to show appreciation throughout the day.

• It’s important to keep expanding your gratitude list. This expands your ability to appreciate life every day and see what’s good within every experience.
• Learn to pay attention to your emotional guidance system. How you feel will tell you how you’re thinking and what you’re attracting into your life.
• Keep your practice fresh so it doesn’t begin to feel like a chore. Make a game out of it. Try pausing every hour to see what you can find to appreciate. You’ll be surprised by how many aspects of life there are to appreciate.
• Expressing gratitude verbally is another way to strengthen your practice and makes it easier to feel the emotions connected to the idea.
• As you face challenges in your life, see if you can find something in the experience to appreciate.
