by Deepak Chopra. Definitely go and read it!

The following is a simplified version.

1. Keep a gratitude journal


Who or what inspired me today?
What brought me happiness today?
What brought me comfort and deep peace today?

This practice can help us find more meaning and joy in our lives and lead us to experience profound inner transformation.

As you write in your journal, challenge yourself by not repeating items from the previous days, for this will make you look more deeply at all the “little” things that enhance your life and give you joy: waking in a warm bed; your favorite song; a phone call from a friend; the ability to touch, see, or hear; electricity; the beating of your heart; a hug. -

Write a thank you letter.

Make a list of at least five people who have had a profound impact on your life. Choose one and write a thank you letter expressing gratitude for all the gifts you’ve received from that person. If possible, deliver your gratitude letter in person.


3.Take a gratitude walk

This is a particularly useful practice when you’re feeling down or filled with stress and worry. Set aside 20 minutes (or longer if you can) and walk in your neighborhood, through a park, around your office, or somewhere in nature. -
