Decided to give gratitude a shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day one of gratitude experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“Write down three things you\u2019re grateful for right now. Don\u2019t overthink it. Just write.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
1. Hot bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three sentences starting with \u201cgrateful for\u2026\u201c Supposed to take five minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“Best to put on paper. Otherwise it doesn\u2019t exist.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
How about a note on my phone? Who uses paper anymore? Handwriting has become a secret code only I can decipher. Took an old grocery receipt to jot things down. The back of the receipt worked fine. Minimalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grateful for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Finding a good parking spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“Write daily. It’s a daily practice. It’s called “gratitude practice” for a reason. It\u2019s a practice. You\u2019re training your mind, so write every day. Involves training. Involves regularity. Turns gratitude into a mindset. Writing down what you are thankful for rewires your brain.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The deal is, you drum the message in, and after two or three weeks, gratitude sneaks up on you. Science says it\u2019s good for you. Makes you a nice person. You get to see what you\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“Pick a time.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Or don’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Grateful for Emil, always happy to see me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
