The benefits of practicing gratitude are nearly endless. People who regularly practice gratitude by taking time to notice and reflect upon the things they're thankful for experience more positive emotions, feel more alive, sleep better, express more compassion and kindness, and even have stronger immune systems. And gratitude doesn't need to be reserved only for momentous occasions. In fact, in any moment of any day, you can feel grateful. Today, no matter what you mind is focused on, no matter how bleak you think things are in your life, look for things to be grateful for. Today, set your intentions to spend as many moments as you can being grateful for all the good that in truth is in your life. The more grateful you are, the more you get to be grateful about. It is just that simply. Today choose to be grateful!

Just for today, I awaken appreciating everything in sight and I give thanks. I express gratitude for all the good in my life. I express gratitude and thanksgiving every day, in every way. Doing so is an important part of my life. Everything is always working out for my highest good and I am grateful for it all. And so it is.
