A simple mindfulness practice: daily gratitude journal

Some studies suggest that writing a gratitude journal at least 3 times a week might have a greater impact on your happiness than doing it every day. Time required? 15 minutes only…

So, start by writing down up to 5 things you feel grateful for, not just doing it in your head. Here you find 9 important tips:

Be as specific as possible
Go for depth over breadth (details about a particular thing instead of a superficial multiple list)
Try subtraction, not just addition (consider what your life could be without certain people or things…)
Get personal
See good things as gifts, rather than taking them for granted
Savor surprises
Revise if you repeat
Write regularly
Don’t overdo it

The goal of this practice is to remember a good life experience, then enjoy the good emotions that come with it.

Cultivate happiness by taking note of the good around you!!!
