One really easy way to get started on a gratitude practice is to make a habit of counting your blessings daily. Put this routine in the morning when you wake up and do it again at night before going to bed. Before long, you’ll be easily noticing that blessing abound.

Here are 5 Tips To Counting Your Blessings.

1. Take Notes. A good habit can be jotting things down during the day as they happen. It only takes a few seconds to make a note of what you feel grateful for in that moment. You can reflect on it later during your quiet bedtime routine.
2. Create Visual Reminders. If you find yourself forgetting to do it or skipping out on your new task, add some visual cues to your environment. Post-it notes are great for this. Stick one on your nightstand. Add another to your bathroom mirror. Technology comes in handy for reminders, as well. Set an alarm on your phone so that you don’t leave the house or fall asleep without taking time to consider what makes you feel thankful.
3. Start Small. Easing into any habit is usually the best approach. By making it easier on yourself, you’ll be more inclined to continue moving forward. So, try not to put too much pressure on yourself to come up with grand examples of gratitude in the beginning. When you’re starting just appreciating that you’re waking up and alive today can be something to add to your initial list. Yes, recognizing an obvious blessing can have a big impact.
4. Add It On. A helpful method for remembering your new gratitude habit is to add it on to your existing routine. Whatever you normally do in the morning and night, be sure to include a few minutes to think of what makes you feel fortunate. For example, if you have tea every morning, this would be a good connection to make. Sitting down and sipping a cup of tea every morning will soon become a reminder to contemplate on the blessings you receive each day.
5. Turn It Around. You can also try the opposite. Turn complaints around into something positive. Maybe you wake up with a sore back and don’t want to get out of bed. It may seem obvious, but reminding yourself that you’re in overall good health and that you have a safe place to sleep can do wonders for your outlook. Try to find the silver lining. It really works.

Hopefully, you now see how getting into the habit of recognizing the good thing in life really isn’t all that difficult. A few small changes to your routine and you’ll find it’s actually quite easy to implement this practice.
