How To Live In A Grateful State Of Mind

This is what it's all about, isn't it? Learning about being grateful is one thing, but what you really want is those benefits you just read about.

Here's how you do it:

• Practice through journaling. You will hear Dr. Emmons talking about journaling in the video below, and the method of writing your thoughts and feelings on a regular basis is recommended for all aspects of Goodfinding.
  
• Practice through your thought processes. This is the most challenging part of your skill development, and the easiest way to do it is by practicing the journaling enough that it starts to happen by itself. You can, however, make the effort to remember to be grateful throughout each day, and that will definitely help.
  
• Practice through communication. Just saying "Thank you," as often as possible will raise your level of gratefulness. You can go beyond that, and make a point of thanking everyone who has played a valuable role in your life.
  

The primary resource for this information comes from the excellent work of Dr. Robert Emmons. He has authored two books on this important subject, and speaks to audiences worldwide.
