Starting today, tell at least one person a day that you are grateful for something. You could thank them for an opportunity that they have given you, comment that you are so glad it is a beautiful day outside, appreciate someone's smile, and let them know it has lifted your spirits, or even call your friend just to tell them something nice. Make it a goal to give to others every day. Give a friend advice, connect a colleague with someone that can give them an opportunity, send a card to a loved one. The powerful combination of giving and gratitude adds positive energy to your life and fuels you forward.
Having gratitude uplifts your day, your life, your being. If you are having a bad day, speaking gratitude out loud will actually change your brain and thoughts to the positive, and interrupt that negativity. Giving someone you either know or even do not know a sincere compliment also adds in that powerful positive fuel. Gratitude and giving energize you inside and out.
Another way to add a positive zing to your life with gratitude is to wake up and be thankful for the day, your body, your health, your family. Even if you're feeling less than amazing, this gratitude energy will give you that extra percent of zest that you need to start your day.
Now, go try both!
