Like building muscles, it takes time and practice to feel naturally grateful.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some gratitude practices to help you feel more grateful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Place visual reminders around your space. Find a mug with a quote about gratitude to drink your morning coffee in. Write a note and place it on your computer to remind you to feel grateful throughout your workday. Place a note on your mirror or refrigerator so that you\u2019re reminded to be grateful each time you get a snack or look in the mirror.\u202f&nbsp;<\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Keep a gratitude journal. Write down three things you\u2019re grateful for at the beginning and\/or end of each day. Five minutes every morning or night is plenty of time to reflect on what you\u2019re grateful for. The more you make gratitude a part of your routine, the more likely you\u2019ll be to feel grateful throughout the day.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Meditate on gratitude. Listening to a short, guided gratitude meditation every day, or sitting in silence and reflecting on all you have to be grateful for are great ways to practice this. If you&#8217;re a visual person, envision a gratitude slideshow in your mind of all of the people, places, and things you\u2019re grateful for.\u202f&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we near Thanksgiving, the topic of gratitude is everywhere.
