Gratitude.

‘Show gratitude’ is a self-help staple.

Keep a Gratitude Journal, Reflect on Things to be Grateful For, Write Gratitude Notes.

All are suggestions for someone looking to improve their lot.

Being grateful is more than a magical mantra or meditative chant.

When we acknowledge things to be grateful for, we remind ourselves of the external forces - good and bad - and even the luck - good and bad - that get a vote in how our decisions turn out.

We recognise the importance of harnessing multiple voices and considerations beyond our own positional power or self-absorption that can contribute to our decision making.

Step 1: Step Back.

In our brokenness, invite gratitude to give us hope.
