Why is this important?
1. Decades of research have shown that gratitude benefits your physical and mental well-being. Not just your mind and soul, but your body too!
2. I believe your mental posture plays a big role in gratitude. To be grateful to someone, you must be willing to accept what they send you. These could be acts of service, words of affirmation, gifts, or even quality time.
3. Also, there is nothing new here, the Bible, which is probably the oldest written word on the planet, has thousands of places where gratitude is recommended, commanded and expressed. If you would like to know more about the Bible, let me know. I read it every day!

How to get the most out of it.
1. Gratitude is something you should take seriously. It's okay to start by being grateful for the items, but dig a little deeper. Be grateful to who is most important.
2. Quality rather than quantity is most important. Instead of being grateful for 100 things today, write down how and why you are grateful for 5 people today!
3. Make it personal! When you see a recurring person in your gratitude journal. I challenge you to contact this person and let them know. This is when the rubber hits the road!
4. Finally, dig deep several times a week. Let gratitude marinate in your mind. Think carefully and enjoy what you discover. Your personal growth will accelerate if you are deeply grateful 2 or 3 times a week rather than being superficial every day.

Tips for Really Keeping a Gratitude Journal
1. Have a gratitude journal. Your gratitude notes should be dated so you can return to them and enjoy what you were grateful for.
2. Where you keep your gratitude journal is ULTRA important. If you keep it under a pile of books or hidden out of sight, you probably won't write in it.
A. Review your morning routine and find the place where you will see your gratitude journal.
b. Essentially create a visual trigger for your gratitude journal.
3. Get involved! And check your progress regularly!
