Every day, at some point, I think of three things for which Iโm grateful.
Gratitude journals are amazing. I started maybe twelve years ago now. It's helped me slow down and appreciate little things more often. I remember starting out my journal and looking for big events in my day.
I quickly learned that on bad days, I'd have to stretch to something like "I saw a cloud that looked like a puppy." and that was when I started to look for smaller joys throughout the day. I also stopped depending on other people for joy.
