Gratitude Ideas (adjust to fit your style)

1) Post words or photos in your home or work space, (or on social media) This is
a great way to get yourself started and keep yourself motivated. Place the items where
youll see them often, and then let them remind you to stop and be grateful.

2) Gratitude journal: This is the most common gratitude practice, and one of the most
effective according to research but important to customize it to suit your style. Get yourself
a journal and write down 3-5 different things you are grateful for. You can do this each night
before bed, or even just once a week, but do it regularly. Its not how often you do it that
countsits how regularly and how sincerely.

3) Set an alarm at regular intervals during the day to stop for 30 seconds and appreciate
where you are, who your with or simply your breath.

4 Make gratitude part of exercise or a daily routines: On my morning walk I take a

few minutes to appreciate my body working well, the scenery, what I have scheduled for the
day. This also works great when youre driving.

5) Say Thank You more often. Just start saying it to others and to yourself. Everyone
likes to be thanked.

6) Write Thank You Notes. When someone touches your heart, write them a note letting
them know.
7) Text a message of thanks. Thanks for making the bed today! I am so grateful to
have you in my life! Quick and Easy. Feels great for you and the recipient.

8 ) Share a word for the day. Text a friend, post on social media, write it on a post it note,
a single word to capture something your grateful for Grateful for - beauty

9) Three Blessings Exercise: Share three blessings you experience each day.

10) Acknowledge one ungrateful thought per day and then replace it with a
grateful one: After you catch yourself thinking, She never does what shes supposed to!
breath deeply and add something grateful. She really is great at creating meeting minutes,
though. And I know shes trying.
