Attitude of Gratitude

Tip 1: Start a gratitude journal. This is a little book that contains daily statements of what you appreciate. There's no wrong or right way to do it, you simply write a quick little statement about something you're thankful for each day. Consistency is the key, and it's an incredibly powerful little tool to pull out when you're feeling down or under the weather. If you have children or live with close friends, you could even start one for the household. I promise this will put a smile on your face every single day :)

Tip 2: Make a gratitude visit or write a letter of thanks. There must be someone in your life that has helped you or others around you out. Someone who may not always get the appreciation they deserve but who has done something you really appreciate. So I encourage you to write them a letter of appreciation and tell them how grateful you are to have them in your life. Give thanks for the thing they've helped you with or the things they continue to do for you. Or even better yet, make a gratitude visit and do it in person.

Tip 3: Take a gratitude walk. This is an amazing exercise to center and balance yourself. You basically take a walk for 5, 10 or even 20 minutes and you dedicate 100% of that time to gratitude. You consciously think of all the things you appreciate in your life right now and realize how lucky you are. Try it out today, take those few minutes to yourself and see how wonderful it leaves you feeling :)
