Daily Practice of Gratitude
by Rev. Michael Guthrie - Morning Mindfulness
A 2005 study found that a daily gratitude practice of gratitude impacted both the levels of the participants' happiness and depression. One way to do this is a practice is called 3 Good Things.
Take time to observe and identify 3 good things that occur, big or small.
At the end of the day, reflect back, taking 30 minutes to write down those 3 things and why they happened. This will help you reframe your day, move past the negative experiences and emotions you're holding on to, and embrace the most positive, good experiences of your day.
