Practice & Grace: How to Begin a Gratitude RitualAbout eight years ago, I began my own self-directed study of positive psychology, even writing a daily blog called “Positivity Quest” (and multiple other iterations over the years). It was a public commitment that kept me going and taught me what practices created the space for more positive thinking to happen in my brain. It was also a true daily effort – sometimes begrudging, sometimes truly inspired, and never predictable. I have written more times than I can count about the practice of gratitude journaling, a ritual that reminds us of the power of using our own attention to see what is good.
