Webinar: Expanding Gratitude in Your Life

By Leo Babauta

In this webinar, I had a surprise guest — my new friend Dirk, a traveler and dabbler in mindfulness who added his stories and perspective to my advice on expanding the gratitude practice to other areas of your life.

Here are my notes from the webinar:

Starts with a morning or evening gratitude session – this is the basis of the habit
Once this starts to become normal, can start to expand into the rest of your life
One by one, create focuses for your gratitude practice
Close your eyes & give thanks, at various times during the day
Before each meal
Before meeting with someone
Whenever you talk with someone, as you converse
As you exercise or meditate
In email
As you start work, as you end
During a drive
When things get difficult
Give mental hugs
Tell a coworker, employee or friend once a day
Write it down
Commit to someone else, share your gratitude with them
Imagine losing the things you take for granted
