Gratitude

- Will ARNETT

I am happy because I’m grateful. I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy.”

We oftentimes take for granted the amazing people, experiences, and things that life gives us. Actively practicing gratitude allows us to be more present and more in touch with what and who surrounds us.

Why Gratitude?

Keep a Gratitude Journal

Just starting out with gratitude? Try focusing on the small things at first- the sunshine, your morning coffee, and the like. Taking time to notice little things will help when it comes to being grateful on a larger scale.

The Little Things

Try a Gratitude Meditation

Gratitude meditations can help you to feel more centered, bring yourself to the present, and give you solid steps to notice and thank the good things in your life.

The way we speak oftentimes dictates how we feel about others, ourselves, and our experiences. Paying attention to the language we use to describe every day objects and events can alter the way in which we view them. Keep it positive and it can bring optimism!
