Giving Gratitude Meaning: How to FEEL Grateful

Let’s say you keep a simple practice of writing 3 things you’re grateful for each day. Well, there’s a way that you can use these strengths to boost your gratitude practice. For each moment, thing, or person on your gratitude list, pause to make note of what that brings to your day or to your life.

Here’s an example:

One quiet Saturday morning, I got an uplifting call from my cousin and her husband. Once the conversation ended, that call was at the top of my gratitude list. Next to that, I wrote the words “connection” and “laughter” because those were the positive feeling it brought to my day.

Being specific and finding the “why” ensures that you’re not just going through the motions with your gratitude practice. You feel your gratitude.

And if you don’t have a gratitude practice or have been off your practice for a while, look out for my next blog post. I will share the research on the benefits that gratitude has on ALL areas of our well-being. It has more of an impact than you may think!
