What do we mean by gratitude practices anyway?
Gratitude practices are simply the act of taking the time to notice and reflect upon
the things that you are thankful for.
Research has proven that practicing gratitude can improve our physical and psychological
health.
People who regularly practice gratitude, often experience more positive emotions.
They also feel more alert and energetic, sleep better, and also have stronger immune systems.
By practicing gratitude, you can reprogram your brain to appreciate your life and the
world around you more reflectively.
Practicing gratitude is much more than positive thinking.
It's a way of teaching our brains what to look for, even when we're struggling.
If you think of your brain like a search engine, whatever you search for produces the results
that you receive.
In other words, if you're constantly overwhelming your brain with negative thoughts, then your
brain will seek the negative around you.
However, if you create positive energy for yourself, then you will attract positive energy
in return.
Also, research shows that grateful people are often happier people.
So, how can you start practicing gratitude today?
When you're ready to dive deeper in practicing your gratitude, we put together three specific
activities that are awesome ways to practice gratitude.
The first way to practice gratitude is to create a gratitude journal.
Create a routine for yourself around writing in your journal daily.
Try journaling first thing in the morning, so you can start your day off in a positive
direction.
Journaling can be as simple as writing one thing that you are grateful for and five reasons
why you're grateful for it.
If you don't like writing things down, you can also keep a gratitude journal on your
phone, on your computer, or your tablet.
Some things I like doing is listing off the things I'm grateful for in the morning when
I'm taking a shower.

The second way to practice gratitude is to practice smudging and prayer.
The art of smudging can clear not only your brain, but your environment of toxic negative
energy.
By removing negative energy, you can clear your own path toward a more positive, grateful
lifestyle.
Prayer gives us a spiritual outlet for our gratitude and sometimes speaking the words
out loud can have a more powerful impact on our mood, our outlook, and our environment.

to say when you're smudging your house.
Now, the third way to practice gratitude is to perform a gratitude meditation.
Meditation simply refers to dedicating time and space to reflect on all that you're grateful
for and allowing that to guide your daily habits.
Find a safe and quiet space, sit calmly, close your eyes and relax your breathing.
Allow your worries, fears, and anxieties to leave your body and focus only on that, which
you are thankful for.
By dedicating time to this practice, you're teaching your body and your mind to respond
positively by practicing consistent daily gratitude.
Now, after learning these three simple gratitude practices for health and wellness, you should
experience more positive emotions, feel more alert and energetic, sleep better, and have
a stronger immune system.
