Why you should have a gratitude practice
Why do we instruct our kids to wear a helmet every time they ride their bike ? And why do we ensure our employees wear their PPE all the time ?
Simple. Because we don’t know when they are going to need it.
So when it comes to a gratitude practice (aka your Habitual Ritual), why should you have a gratitude practice ?
Again, quite simple. Because you don’t know when you’re going to need it.
A Habitual Ritual builds internal resources that strengthens your resilience. A well tuned gratitude practice enables you to:
better deal with challenges
feel a greater sense of optimism
remain focused on the bigger picture
In addition, your grateful attitude:
boosts your immune system
insulates you from depression and hopelessness
keeps your reptilian brain from taking over - so you stay rational
If your life is going great and you’re thriving without a Habitual Ritual, that’s great. But guess what ? It’s only a matter of time.
My advice
Develop a Habitual Ritual before you need it. The best time to start your Habitual Ritual is 20 years ago. The second best time to start your Habitual Ritual is today.
