Cultivating Grateful Thoughts

Having ungrateful thoughts is a sign that you have omitted the good aspects of your life, which can leave you feeling negative. Grateful people understand that life does not have to be perfect to appreciate what they have. Even when things go wrong, gratitude can help you feel happier, be more optimistic about the future and cope with the difficulties life throws your way. This exercise will help you practice gratitude by paying attention to your ungrateful thoughts and formulating more grateful alternatives that acknowledge life's diverse gifts, advantages, and valuable lessons.
