> Gratitude is arguably one of the most critical components of happiness.

> So often we go about of days with our negative lenses on amplifying small negatives, yet diminishing the positives.

> First thing in the morning write down 3 things you are grateful for. These could be people, places, things, past experiences, life situations, physicals attributes, personal characteristics, moments when you've been proud of yourself etc. 

> This seems so very simple - yet the act of bringing awareness to these things helps shift your perspective from what may often be subconsciously skewed to the negative.

> At the end of your day reflect on each of the following:
1) What went well today?
2) What is something I achieved today?
3) When was I proud of myself today?

​> There is good in even the most challenging of days. This isn’t about faking or creating the good stuff, it’s simply about noticing it and hence being MINDFUL of the good moments in your daily life.

> Consistently practising gratitude will elevate your default state of happiness and completely transform your life!

For example:
Often people think gratitude is only about recognising the BIG stuff.

Wrong!

Why not notice the kick-arse little stuff in your day too?

You may be grateful for your amazing partner and how supportive they are, or the roof over your head. But you can also be grateful for the sweet deal on the mower or washing machine you just bought and the sun coming out on your walk to work!

You may reflect on the productive day you had or that you were proud of yourself when you kept your cool when your toddler was screaming down the house.

Cultivating the habit of daily gratitude is a GAME-CHANGER!
