Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat, and today, we are talking about daily gratitude. Science has determined that gratitude has exponential benefits for the mind and body as it activates feel-good neurotransmitters that promote feelings of trust, increases social bonding, and improves happiness.

Many individuals have taken to practicing gratitude daily or weekly, depending on what works best for them. I, too, practice gratitude on a regular basis. Sometimes, I do a flurry of appreciation in my mind while I brush my teeth in the morning. Sometimes, I sit down with my gratitude journal and write out a few thoughts. I am even considering making a gratitude jar for my whole family to enjoy.

However, there are days when I get stuck. It’s not that I am not grateful for anything; I have so many things to be thankful for every day. BUT, on occasion, I run out of ideas and don’t feel satisfied repeating myself. I want something new to acknowledge that I may not have thought of before to expand my gratitude practice and see more of the good things around me.

So, I did a little digging into daily gratitude prompts, and, of course, I am here to share them with you. If you are a little stuck or think getting stuck may happen, save this episode or write them down to use later, or see our March 2023 blog post. Are you ready? Here we go!

-          Did I do something nice for someone today? What is something nice that someone did for me?
