5 Easy Ways to Make Gratitude a Habit
1. Start Small- Just like when starting anything new, practicing gratitude is most effective when you start small.
2. Stop Comparing, Right NOW – Though stacking yourself up against other people is seriously tempting (especially when it comes to what you see on social media), making comparisons is a huge no-no when it comes to mastering your gratitude practice.
3. Write It Down – Writing down what you’re thankful for is an awesome way to chronicle all of the details in your life, whether they’re big or small.
4. Give More – Try doing something nice for someone else.
5. Keep It Regular- It takes about 66 days to form a habit.
Word of the Week- (March 1st - 7th) - FAITH
Counter word- Presumption
Confidence that actions rooted in good character will yield the best outcome even when I cannot see how.
I will…
Rely on good principles
Not take things for granted
Trust those with proven character
Hope for the best
