2. Give Thanks Before your meal
There is something special when giving thanks before you eat. Giving thanks before you eat ensures you practice gratitude daily and provides nourishment to the food you are about to eat with positive energy. Giving thanks before you eat can be done quietly to yourself or it can be aloud with your loved ones.
A benefit to practicing gratitude during your meal also shifts you to a more mindful state, and maybe even help you lose weight. When you are mindful while you are eating you are more likely to pay attention to what you are eating, as well as help you be mindful of when you are full.
3. Give Thanks during set activity
Giving thanks during a set activity helps you build gratitude in your daily routine without making adjustments to your current daily routine. A set activity gratitude practice is great for anyone with a busy schedule or a busy mom who may not get a lot of alone time.
How to give thanks during a set activity?
All you need to do is pick an activity that you engage in daily as you set an activity when you practice gratitude. Examples of set activities can include brushing your teeth, when you stop at a stop light while driving, while you wash your hair, or as silly as this may sound, every time you go to the restroom.
These activities are typical daily routines and are often done in private. So while you are brushing your teeth, washing your hair, or going to the restroom, just quietly think to yourself about one thing you are grateful for at that moment. You can always be grateful for more than one thing at a time, just go with whatever your heart is feeling grateful for at that time.
A gratitude practice will help focus on all the amazing blessings you have in your life, raising your vibrations to attract more good things in your life.
