Starting a Gratitude Practice

During this busy time of year we hope that you can take a few moments each day to practice gratitude. Below are some of suggestions and a few videos that may inspire you to begin or continue this important practice.


2 short videos on taking a moment to feel grateful and make today a little brighter!


Here’s a link to ideas on how to start your own gratitude practice:   https://leftbrainbuddha.com/start-gratitude-practice/

Below are some ways to practice Gratitude with your children:
  • Children can use a notebook or a folder and paper to make a Gratitude Journal.
  • Practice gratitude journaling at a regular time each day, or a few times a week.
  • Take five minutes to think of something that you feel grateful for today. Here are some topics or ideas:

    1. Something that someone else did for you that day.
    2. A person in your life that you appreciate.
    3.  An activity or hobby you are grateful to be able to do.
    4.  A positive quality of someone that can sometimes be hard to get along with.
    5.  A skill or ability you have.
    6. An item that you love.
    7. Something that made you laugh.
    8. What you have learned from something that was hard.
    9. Have family members put their day’s thanks into their own Gratitude Jar, or create a Gratitude Tree where each day’s thanks is written onto a ‘leaf’.
