The Power of Daily Gratitude

Gratitude shifts attention toward what’s working. A tiny, consistent practice can lift mood, reduce stress, and make taking action feel easier.

Start with one line. Each day, write a single sentence: “Today I’m grateful for …” The smaller the habit, the more likely it sticks.

Be specific. Instead of “family,” try “my sister’s text checking in.” Detail makes the feeling more real and memorable.

Attach it to a cue. Do it after brushing your teeth or before your first sip of coffee. Anchoring reduces decision fatigue.

Share sometimes. A quick thank-you note strengthens relationships and reinforces your own appreciation.

Over time, daily gratitude becomes a lens—noticing more to appreciate, even on ordinary days.
