1. Seek gratitude ourselves It was once said to me “gratitude shapes your attitude”. It is easy to dwell on our struggles, we all do it – a di cult day at work, children who have had a ratty day, job losses, relationship di culties… and the list goes on. But ruminating on these things only drags us down. It is worth beginning the day re ecting on the things we are grateful for. If you shower in the morning, perhaps actively take a little longer in the shower and be grateful for things such as – having a job during a pandemic, hot running water, having a roof over your head, the joys and smiles your children bring, the friends that stick by you thick and thin, for grass to walk on, owers in Spring, time for rest, if you’re spiritually inclined – https://lachlansoper.org.au/fostering-gratitude-in-children-and-ourselves/
