Every night before you go to bed, take out a pen and paper and write down 3 things you are grateful for.

Your meditation, yoga, stretching routine, etc. They may not make you really happy in the moment, but at the end of the day we feel proud of sticking to our routine.

You will surely ask yourself: How can writing and being grateful for 3 things that happened to me this day change my life?

If you are consistent, this habit will improve the way you see life and how to face your daily routine.

The pleasure of being connected to the present

This reduces that desire to seek happiness outside your life, makes you value everything you have achieved, prevents you from comparing yourself with others, and makes you reflect on impulsive attitudes that we ALL tend to have.

Try this practice.

You only need a notebook, we recommend that it be a nice one, that makes you want to write, and that you only use for this. Keep the notebook on your nightstand so you always have it at hand before going to sleep.

What has made you happy? What was the best of the day?

Enjoy this moment and don't force yourself to put 3 things.

Sometimes they are more, sometimes they are less, the important thing is consistency in this habit that is so good for you and your mind.

Another key is not to judge what we write: it doesn't matter if it is banal, very emotional, good, bad, etc.

And don't be discouraged if you don't feel a change immediately, as with everything: good things take time.

Why is performing this routine so good?

Because it puts our focus on the things that we like the most, those mini moments of happiness and that, as a consequence, makes our day-to-day life more bearable.

Furthermore, thousands of scientists prove that a person with a grateful attitude in small things exercises their mind for everyday life.

It's like 'seeing the glass half full'.

When I am consistent with my gratitude practice, my world expands. I see beauty easily.

I find myself more naturally in a grounded state, even when, for example, I'm running tedious errands or driving during rush hour.

It's like a cloud of peace and positivity surrounds me. Practice makes perfect, so if you don't practice it daily, you can lose it. But you can always get it back!

And that's good too: knowing that you can allow yourself to fall and have a bad day, all you need is a few moments alone with yourself, sowing gratitude and good thoughts to regain that feeling of calm in your world.
