Gratitude is not just a holiday theme.
It isn’t a one-and-done kinda thing.
In fact, I love that gratitude gets the spotlight for one-twelfth of the year because I believe it is a powerful practice and is something I do all the time.
Gratitude is a practice. You aren’t supposed to be good at it on your first try.
How do you work on it?
You try your best to find things you are grateful for and acknowledge when that feeling of gratitude or thankfulness genuinely shows up.
For example… Let’s say someone hands something to you and you say “thank you”. If you were practicing gratitude you would take a moment to really be thankful for it. Thank you can be such a mechanical thing to say. If you are practicing gratitude then simply really being thankful for something when you say thank you can be a great place to start.
