Having gone through an entire discussion on what is gratitude, the various bounties which we need to be grateful for, the benefits of gratitude, the harms of ingratitude; the important thing is to now put all of that into practise, therefore we now conclude with a discussion on \u201cHow to be grateful!\u201d<\/p>\n
1. Every day, say aloud three good things that happened. This can be a fun activity to do with your kids when you tuck them in, or around the dinner table with family, but it\u2019s also extremely powerful to express gratitude aloud when you\u2019re alone.
\n2. Keep a gratitude journal. Jot down the small things from your day that mattered to you, like the few minutes of quiet time you had on your drive to work, or the fact that this afternoon\u2019s rain storm didn\u2019t flood your basement. If you\u2019re having a particularly rough day, you can look back through the pages of accumulated blessings in your life.<\/p>\n
3. Say thanks to your partner. Couples who express gratitude toward one another set up a powerful feedback loop of intimacy and trust, where both partners feel as if their needs are being met.<\/p>\n
4. Cool a hot temper with a quick gratitude inventory. One of the quickest ways to dispel the energy of a stormy mood is to focus your attention on what\u2019s good. So when you\u2019re about to lash out at someone, take a moment to do a quick inventory of five things you\u2019re thankful for in the moment. It could be your good health, clean air, or even the recent switch to a cheaper cell-phone bill\u2014these details will help you relax and avoid saying something you\u2019ll later regret.<\/p>\n
5. Thank yourself. Gratitude doesn\u2019t always need to be focused on what other people have done for you! Make sure you give yourself a thank-you for the healthy habits you\u2019ve cultivated in your own life, such as eating plenty of veggies or giving yourself enough time for rest each night.<\/p>\n
6. Use technology to send three gratitude messages a week. Find yourself tethered to your cell phone or the internet for hours each day? Harness the power of this technology to send out some good vibes, such as a text or Facebook comment, to tell your friends why you appreciate them.<\/p>\n
7. Savour the good moments. If you notice you\u2019re feeling happy, stop what you\u2019re doing and pay attention for a few minutes. Notice exactly how you feel, including the sensations in your body and the thoughts you\u2019re having. Later, when you\u2019re trying to inspire gratitude, you can remember this moment and experience the benefits all over again.<\/p>\n
8. Check for silver linings. Even the most difficult life challenges come with some benefit\u2014you just have to look to find them. Being sick draws the compassion of friends. Making a mistake teaches you a lesson. When things feel hard, ask yourself: What\u2019s good here?<\/p>\n
9. Look outward, not inward. Experts say people are more likely to feel grateful when they put their focus on others, rather than getting caught up in their own inner narratives about how things should have gone. Empathy for others can trigger a sense of gratitude, and people who have an outward focus tend to experience stronger benefits.<\/p>\n
10. Change your perspective. If you struggle to come up with something to feel grateful for, put yourself in the shoes of someone who is experiencing misfortunes greater than your own. Recalling a colleague who has a debilitating physical condition, for example, will inspire gratitude for your own healthy body, which you may have taken for granted otherwise.<\/p>\n
The most important is to make dua to Allah, that Allah fills our hearts with this great noble quality and that Allah guides us throughout our life to be more grateful, thankful and appreciative. As we conclude I remember another thing we need to be grateful for, the day of Eid!
