November is a month of gratitude, and Thanksgiving is the time each year when we think most consciously about what we are thankful for. What’s on your gratitude list? Did you make one? Although it’s good to have a time of year to focus on gratitude, a gratitude practice and gratitude journaling shouldn’t just be limited to November. Why Gratitude Is ImportantGratitude matters because it’s such a crucial aspect of looking at life positively. You can improve your mental health and increase your overall well-being if you practice gratitude daily. How Do You Practice Gratitude?If you want to consider expanding your thankfulness beyond November, a gratitude journal is a perfect way to achieve this goal. How do you practice gratitude? It’s simple. Just take a few minutes every day to write down 3–5 things that you truly appreciate about your life. This is called gratitude journaling. You can focus on things that have happened within the last 24 hours, or you can keep it general. It doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you do it. Really give it some thought and take your time to engage in that positivity and thankfulness. You can use any blank journal or you can use Dean Graziosi’s Better Life journal, which includes his personal outcome journaling method too. List of Things to Be Thankful ForThere are almost too many things to be grateful for.

PEOPLE (AND PETS)If you’re looking for something—or someone—to be grateful for, look no further than the people surrounding you. 1.
