Gratitude simply means noticing what is good, however small. A regular gratitude practice is easy to start and works well alone or as a family.
A five-minute practice
- Choose a regular moment: before bed, at dinner or with your morning tea.
- Write down three things that went well today, however small.
- For one of them, add why it mattered to you.
- Optionally, think of one way to thank someone tomorrow.
Tips for keeping it going
- Be specific: “my friend checked in on me” rather than “friends”.
- Keep it short. Five minutes is plenty.
- Families can take turns sharing one thing each at dinner.
