…Is that it’s right there.
You can start doing it at any given time.
There are no qualifications or skills required.
Like breathing, it’s still free.
So, why don’t we do it more often? Talk about rationality…
Let’s be realistic here: the single act of appreciation won’t make you feel “happy” about your current situation, especially if it is (what YOU consider) a crappy one. But, it will make you feel better. How is this not incentive enough?
Look around you. There’s something to give thanks for in every little thing that you do or have. People, things and experiences, acknowledge them.
Compare. Consider how lucky you actually are compared to (way too many) less fortunate people.
Remember. Look back and think about what you lacked before and have now. (Personal anecdote: I had $5 in the bank and $12 in my wallet before getting my first paycheck of my actual job. Being broke teaches you a lot about appreciation.)
Appreciation only takes a moment, but it can last forever.
And if you are serious about it, it will.
