How to be happy: Tips for cultivating contentment - MayoClinic.com


EXPRESS GRATITUDE


Gratitude is more than saying thank you. It's a sense of wonder, appreciation and,
yes, thankfulness for life. It's easy to go through life without recognizing
your good fortune. Often, it takes a serious illness or other tragic event
to jolt people into appreciating the good things in their lives. Don't wait for something
like that to happen to you.

Make a commitment to practice gratitude. Each day identify at least one thing
that enriches your life. When you find yourself thinking an ungrateful
thought, try substituting a grateful one. For example, replace "my sister forgot
my birthday" with "my sister has always been there for me in
tough times".

Let gratitude be the last thought before you go to sleep.
Let gratitude also be your first thought when you wake up in the morning.
