Gratitude Prompts
Gratitude is a frame of mind that puts everything in your life into a positive perspective. There is no doubt that expressing appreciation for what you already have puts you in a place to receive even more things to be grateful for. Building your awareness of gratitude is a skill that requires a small (but significantly powerful) amount of mindfulness and can easily fit into your everyday.
