3 Things to Do Today to Practice Gratitude in Action

Gratitude isn’t generally a common habit, but without gratitude, life is more challenging than it needs to be. This month we are focusing on Gratitude so let’s get into action. Doing things that help you feel grateful resets your perspective, and this is a gift you can give yourself each day.  If you ever find yourself feeling pessimistic or overwhelmed, a little gratitude in action can get your attitude back on the right track.

  Gratitude is free, enjoyable, and effective.

 Here are 3 things you can do today to more and more make Gratitude your Attitude:

 1. Go for a gratitude walk. This is a great way to get out of your head. Go for a walk and look for things that you can be grateful for. A beautiful tree, a child playing in her yard, a friendly dog, or a nice, cool breeze are all things you could choose to feel gratitude about.

2. Write a positive review for a business you appreciate.  Or give someone a heartfelt compliment for how they have improved your life. Business owners love positive reviews. It makes them feel good and can boost their business. Be supportive and express your gratitude.

3. Be thankful at meal times. Since you eat at least one meal each day, this a great way to develop a habit of expressing gratitude. Take time and be grateful for your food and the people sharing it with you. A prayer or a silent word of thanks is a great habit to establish for yourself and your family.

  On the mental side, think positive as much as you can and be grateful for everything you have. Even if you’re struggling to survive below the poverty level, you’re still living better than the vast majority of the world’s population. That doesn’t mean you have to be satisfied with your current situation, but you can still be grateful for what you do have.

Remember to practice gratitude in action. Your mood and perspective will be lifted. Your opportunities for success will increase. And you’ll receive even more good things to be grateful for!
