Holidays are coming and it’s time to think about the year that’s passing and everything we have to be grateful for. But life is often less than great and it can be difficult to focus on the good things, so you need to intentionally decide to be grateful for all the good things that are happening. Here are three ways to do it.

Gratitude Journal

This is the most obvious and easiest way, but it needs to be mentioned. Even Oprah recommends it! A gratitude journal is any notebook in which you regularly write down things you’re grateful for and it can be very useful during the rough days.

Be a Nice Person

We all think that we’re nice, but how often do you let an elderly person in front of you in the supermarket line or hold the door for someone whose hands are full? These little gestures will make people’s day and you’ll feel a lot better, too.

Keep Meaningful Items Where You Can See Them

Photos of the youngest members of your family or your pets, meaningful drawings and notes, handwritten letters and similar memorabilia deserve a place where you can see them at all times because they will always remind you how blessed you are.
