Brushing your teeth, taking a shower, and using deodorant are all examples of daily habits you should be following to keep your body in top shape. However, it is also important to have daily habits that support your mental and emotional health as well. Making gratitude a daily habit is one of those emotional health things you can do.
Practice Gratitude
A great way to ensure you are maintaining contentment with your life is to practice gratitude every day.
Practicing gratitude simply means you reflect upon everything you have to be thankful or appreciative for in your life. Some people practice gratitude by reciting a mantra, or a short phrase, to reinforce their gratitude verbally.
Others like to keep a written journal where they can continually add to a list of things in their lives that make them feel grateful. Ask me how you can get a free Gratitude Journal.
However you choose to include gratitude as a part of your daily life -- it really does not matter – the important thing is that you make it happen!
Reminding yourself of what makes you experience gratitude is a great way to keep that feeling of contentment and satisfaction in the forefront of your mind.
By making gratitude a daily habit, you are constantly aware of everything going well in your life, increasing contentment.
