Implementing Gratitude
Gratitude can help shift your mindset to one of growth and build an attitude of gratitude. By building a consistent gratitude practice, you shift your view on your surroundings and reframe your thought process.
Building the Habit
Choose your frequency - once daily, periodically throughout the day. I recommend either first thing in the morning, a few times throughout the day, or before you go to bed at night.
Start out small - Write three things that you are grateful for (or write one thing three times a day) and build the habit.
Set reminders on your phone or get an accountability buddy to help with building the habit.
Tips & Tricks
Write one thing you are grateful for in your immediate surroundings (present), one thing you are grateful for that happened in the past, and one thing that you are grateful for that is coming up.
90 Second Gratitude Practice - No writing required! Set a 90-second timer and list as many things that you are grateful for as possible. Start with things you can touch and see. Move on to interpersonal relationships, and things that are coming to you.
Set reminders on your phone for every few hours named ‘What are you grateful for?’ When they pop up, take the time to think of one thing that you are grateful for in that moment.
