Before the day begins is an excellent time to reflect on all there is to be grateful for. This starts the day with feelings of hope, peace, and happiness. You can simply say thank you for the day as soon as you wake up. This puts us right first thing in the morning and starts our day on a good note instead of starting the day out with negative thoughts. The practice of gratitude can help us during our low points in life, turning our thoughts of despair into thoughts of appreciation. We can view our worst situations with a grateful eye and know that being grateful makes us stronger, more resilient, healthier, and happier people.
