We can't wait for gratitude to come, and can't just expect it to come naturally all the time (especially in the tougher times). To get fluent in gratitude, you've got to have a gratitude practice. And not just in the self-help, pop-culture-mindfulness way: an actual PRACTICE, just like you'd practice a sport or new language, so that when you need it most, you'll be able to access it. Try this five minute, four-step gratitude practice year-round to strengthen your gratitude muscles.
