Make Gratitude a Daily Habit
A 2019 study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies found that gratitude is linked to happiness by age 5. This means that practicing gratitude from a young age will help us grow up to be happier people.
Look for the extraordinary even in the ordinary. If the sunset is particularly beautiful, comment on it. If the sound of your little sister's laughter warms your heart, tell her. Encourage your friends and family to look for awe-inspiring moments and share them with you.
Here are a few gratitude activities that will help make gratitude a daily ritual:
At lunch or dinner, take turns with your friends or family members sharing one awesome thing from your day.
Every Sunday evening, write down one nice thing you will do for someone this week.
Use gratitude conversation starters to prompt reflection on a daily basis.
Use this kindness calendar to inspire daily actions.
Before going to bed, share with your family members three things you appreciate about them.
