4 Ways to Cultivate Gratitude
1️⃣ Write a Thank You Letter
Choose a person you love and appreciate, and write them a thank you letter or an email sharing your appreciation of them or how they’ve impacted your life.
2️⃣ Keep a Gratitude Journal
Make it a habit to write down what you are thankful for each day and how these things make you feel.
3️⃣ Count Your Blessing Each Morning
When you wake up, take a few minutes to reflect on the blessings you’ve received in your life recently. Be specific and think about how you felt when something good happened to you.
4️⃣ Meditate
Mindfulness meditation involves focusing on the present moment without judgment. Although people often focus on a word or phrase, it is also possible to focus on what you’re grateful for.
