More than just ancient wisdom, modern studies demonstrate the transformative power of gratitude. One popular way to experience more gratitude is an exercise called three good things:
Each evening before bed, take a moment for yourself and consider three things that happened that day that you appreciate, small or large.
Write those down, notice over time what they have in common, how they vary, how these things make you feel. Try talking with a partner, friend or loved one, asking each other for their three goods things.
