Practice gratitude: Take time each day to appreciate the good things in your life.
Practicing gratitude is an act of humility. It is acknowledging thanksgiving for a gift. When one considers it, everything is a gift. We’re not entitled to any of it. It’s there for us to enjoy. Consider the miracle of our bodies. Scientists speculate that there are billions of actions occurring within our bodies at any given moment. Imagine that these happen continuously and harmoniously.. You and I are breathing, walking miracles. Gratitude is the foundational rock of happiness. If we choose to be grateful, we will be happy. They go together. Each night after dinner I go for a walk. I name all the people and events for which I am grateful for during my day. I literally walk with a smile. People must think I’m nuts. No, I jam ust grateful.
