The Gratitude Habit: Day 7

The Gratitude Habit: Day 7.

–21 days of Gratitude: Awakening the Heart

The writer Alexis de Tocqueville once describe gratitude as “a habit of the heart.” Can gratitude become a habit?

We have so many daily habits, we can’t even name all of them, but we know when we are practicing good ones because they make us feel happy, grounded, taken care of, and respected. How can gratitude become one of our good habits?

Every habit takes attention and intention to get rooted in us. It starts with our sincere desire to want to be grateful. We must dwell in gratitude, allowing it to nurture us in the very depth of our hearts. Ask yourself: How can I cultivate gratitude as a habit of my heart?
