The Gratitude Groove
Start your day with a simple “thank you” for the new day, the gentle hum of life, and the warmth of the sun on your skin.
A few mindful moments set the tone for a day filled with appreciation.
Jot down one thing you’re grateful for each day, big or small and put it in a jar— a delicious meal, a supportive friend, a good laugh.
Later on, review the content of your jar.
Reviewing your jar later becomes a treasure trove of happiness reminding you of life’s simple joys.
Take a mindful walk, focusing on the beauty around you — the vibrant colours of nature, the intricate details of architecture, and the smiles of strangers.
