Since it is so important, let me share with you some of the ways to improve our life with it.

3 Empowering Ways to Improve your life with gratitude and appreciation

1. Count Your Blessing

Make it a point and habit to set aside one or two minutes before sleep to ?think of all the people and things that have added values to you in your life. A simple routine like this will instantly set the positive tone for a better tomorrow and also assist ?you to focus on things to appreciate about your life. This is how you can make good use of these one or two minutes in a more meaningful way.

2. Make a Journal of What you are Thankful for

Adopt the habit of keeping a tiny notebook to record anything that come across your mind that you feel grateful for. Do not just only jot down major happenings like marriage, new born child or moving house, but also write down tiny things like a stranger opens the door for you, picking a coin on the floor or any others. When this routine becomes part of your life, you will be seeing and appreciating many things that you might not even noticed before.
