Listen, I'm the first to admit maintaining an attitude of gratitude is not the easiest thing in this world. Everything seems designed to suck the gratitude, patience, and hope right out of you.
At night I try to recite at least 3 things I'm grateful for before sleep. Sometimes it's as simple as having a roof over my head and food on my table. Others it's more involved--I'm grateful for time with my dog, time with family, great co-workers. Even if I've had a great writing day, I remember to be thankful for that.
I've also started saying thank you for the simplest things. A green light? Thank you. No one at the stop sign? Thank you. A quiet day at work? Thank you.
I listen to meditation and do my best, even in conversation to find the positive. I'm really good at pointing out the positive in others. Me? Not so much. But here are a couple articles I've read over the years and I really highly recommend any video by The Meditative Mind.
