Pro Tips for Your Gratitude Practice

Get specific: Instead of "family," write "Mom's phone call tonight that made me crack up."

Small stuff counts: The perfect morning coffee is just as valid as landing your dream job.

Be honest: If you had a rough day, it's totally fine to be grateful that it's over.

Switch it up: Don't use the same prompt every day – variety keeps your practice alive and interesting.

Feel the feelings: Don't just list things. Take a moment to actually feel grateful for each one.
