#Grateful
Starting your day with gratitude
A grateful start to your day shapes your day. Spend a few minutes each morning either writing in your paper or digital journal. Dig deep and find meaning in what you are recording. Think of one idea that will shape your day as you go forward. Throughout the day you will make lemonaid from the lemons.
Random Acts of Kindness
Lots of random acts of kindness are recorded daily. Find a way to share your gratitude and kindness. From paying for the person behind you in line to stopping to help someone take their recycling from their car to the bins, there are little ways each day to practice being grateful by helping someone else.
Gratitude jar
Take a moment each day and place a small slip of paper in a jar. At the end of the month or year, read back and reflect on your moments of gratitude.

Gratitude is really a way of helping ourselves see things in perspective. On any given day, many things are going right, even if it doesn’t feel that way. A concentrated focus on being thankful, expressing gratitude, and helping others is a gift we can give ourselves to help feed and nourish a positive mindset.
And it’s a gift as contagious as a smile! Thanks for sharing how a positive mindset makes a big difference!
