What, Me? Thankful? part 4

Here are some ways to cultivate gratitude on a regular basis, again directly from The Harvard School of Medicine —

PREVIOUSLY IN THIS SERIES Write a thank-you note. You can make yourself happier and nurture your relationship with another person by writing a thank-you letter or email expressing your enjoyment and appreciation of that person’s impact on your life. Send it, or better yet, deliver and read it in person if possible. Make a habit of sending at least one gratitude letter a month. Once in a while, write one to yourself.

AND Thank someone mentally. No time to write? It may help just to think about someone who has done something nice for you, and mentally thank the individual.

NEW TODAY Keep a gratitude journal. 

Make it a habit to write down or share with a loved one thoughts about the gifts you’ve received each day.

— These are do-able.

You are worth your effort.
