Take a moment to reflect on what you are grateful for. Add items one at a time and build your personal gratitude list. Research shows gratitude improves mental health and happiness.
Gratitude is one of the most well-researched practices in positive psychology. Studies consistently show that people who regularly practice gratitude experience more positive emotions, sleep better, express more compassion, and even have stronger immune systems.
Start by writing down 3 to 5 things you are grateful for each day. They can be big or small - from a warm cup of coffee to a meaningful conversation with a friend. The key is consistency: making gratitude a daily habit rewires your brain to notice the positive things in life.
If you are not sure what to write, try these prompts: What made you smile today? Who in your life are you thankful for? What is something you often take for granted? What skill or ability are you grateful to have? What is a simple pleasure you enjoyed recently?
