Hello and welcome back to Top 10s You
0:02
Should Know. Let me start with something
0:04
powerful. Gratitude is not just about
0:06
saying thank you. Gratitude is a
0:08
mindset, a daily practice, a shift in
0:11
perspective that can literally rewire
0:13
your brain for happiness, resilience,
0:15
and deeper connections. You see, in
0:18
today's world, it's easy to get lost in
0:20
stress, comparisons, and chasing the
0:22
next thing. But here's the truth. No
0:24
matter how big your goals are, if you
0:26
can't appreciate the small blessings in
0:28
front of you, you'll always feel like
0:31
something is missing. The most joyful
0:33
people on this planet aren't necessarily
0:35
the richest or most successful. They're
0:38
the ones who've learned the art of
0:39
gratitude. And today, I'll share with
0:42
you 10 powerful ways you can cultivate
0:45
gratitude every single day. These aren't
0:48
cliches. They're practical, emotional,
0:50
and transformative habits that can
0:52
change your life if you let them. Ready?
0:55
Let's begin.
0:57
One, start your morning with three
0:59
gratitude statements.
1:01
The way you start your day sets the
1:03
emotional tone for everything that
1:05
follows. Instead of grabbing your phone
1:07
first thing, pause and name three things
1:10
you're grateful for. They don't have to
1:13
be big. It could be the warmth of your
1:14
bed, the sound of birds outside, or
1:17
simply the fact that you woke up to
1:19
another day. Saying them out loud or
1:21
writing them down cements the feeling.
1:23
This practice forces your brain to scan
1:26
for positives instead of instantly
1:28
diving into stress or comparison. Over
1:30
time, it reshapes your mental wiring so
1:33
that gratitude becomes your default. And
1:36
here's the secret. When you consistently
1:38
start your mornings this way, you'll
1:40
notice that the little irritations
1:42
throughout the day don't weigh you down
1:44
as much because you've already grounded
1:46
yourself in appreciation. Two, keep a
1:49
gratitude journal at night. If the
1:51
morning is about setting the tone, the
1:54
evening is about reflection and closure.
1:56
Before going to bed, take 5 minutes to
1:59
write down the best moments of your day,
2:01
no matter how small. Maybe it was a kind
2:04
smile from a stranger, a productive
2:06
meeting, or even a delicious cup of
2:08
coffee. The act of writing shifts your
2:11
attention from what went wrong to what
2:13
went right. Neuroscientists say that
2:16
journaling strengthens memory, so you're
2:18
literally training your brain to
2:19
remember positive experiences instead of
2:21
dwelling on the negative. And here's the
2:24
beauty. When you read back through your
2:26
journal weeks later, you'll realize how
2:28
much good you've overlooked in your
2:30
daily rush. It's a way of telling
2:32
yourself, "My life is filled with
2:34
blessings even on days when it feels
2:37
tough." The three, express gratitude
2:40
directly to people. One of the most
2:43
powerful ways to deepen gratitude is not
2:46
just to feel it, but to express it.
2:48
Think about how many people in your life
2:50
do small, consistent things for you.
2:52
Family, friends, co-workers, even
2:54
strangers. Most of the time, we
2:57
appreciate them silently, but never
2:59
actually say it. Make it a daily habit
3:01
to voice your gratitude. Send a short
3:03
text. Say thank you with sincerity. Or
3:06
tell someone, "I really appreciate what
3:08
you did for me." The impact is twofold.
3:11
You feel the joy of expressing it, and
3:13
they feel the warmth of being
3:15
acknowledged. It strengthens bonds and
3:17
creates a ripple effect of positivity.
3:20
People remember the way you make them
3:21
feel. And nothing makes someone feel
3:23
more valued than being seen and
3:25
appreciated.
3:27
Four, turn mundane routines into
3:29
gratitude moments. We often take daily
3:32
routines for granted. Eating a meal,
3:34
taking a shower, driving to work. But
3:36
gratitude isn't just for extraordinary
3:38
moments. It lives in the ordinary. Next
3:42
time you're eating, pause and think
3:43
about the effort behind that food, the
3:45
farmers, the cooks, the process that
3:48
brought it to your plate. When you
3:50
shower, appreciate the luxury of clean
3:52
water that many people in the world
3:53
don't have. When driving, be grateful
3:56
for the freedom of movement and the
3:58
opportunities it brings. By attaching
4:00
gratitude to daily routines, you
4:02
transform ordinary acts into sacred
4:04
rituals. Suddenly, life feels richer,
4:07
not because it changed, but because you
4:09
changed the way you see it. Five,
4:12
practice gratitude during challenges.
4:15
It's easy to be grateful when life is
4:16
smooth. The real test comes during
4:19
struggles. But here's the thing, even in
4:21
hard times, gratitude can be a lifeline.
4:24
Instead of asking why me, ask what is
4:27
this teaching me? Maybe the challenge is
4:30
building your patience, your resilience,
4:32
or pushing you toward growth you
4:34
wouldn't have chosen on your own. When
4:36
you learn to look for the hidden gift
4:38
inside the difficulty, you build
4:40
unshakable strength. This doesn't mean
4:43
ignoring pain or pretending everything
4:44
is fine. It means saying, "Even in this,
4:47
I can find something to be grateful
4:49
for." That shift can turn setbacks into
4:52
stepping stones and losses into lessons.
4:55
Gratitude doesn't erase the struggle,
4:57
but it transforms how you carry it. Six,
5:00
use gratitude prompts in your
5:02
environment. Sometimes we need
5:04
reminders. Place sticky notes with
5:06
gratitude prompts around your home,
5:08
workspace, or phone wallpaper. Simple
5:10
cues like, "What are you thankful for
5:12
right now?" or "Pause and appreciate
5:14
this moment act as instant mindset
5:17
shifts." These little nudges break the
5:19
cycle of autopilot thinking and pull you
5:21
back into appreciation. Over time, they
5:25
become part of your subconscious wiring.
5:27
You won't even need the notes anymore.
5:29
Your brain will automatically look for
5:31
the good. Gratitude is like a muscle.
5:33
The more you exercise it, the stronger
5:35
it gets. Prompts are just the workout
5:38
equipment to get you started. Seven,
5:40
practice gratitude in conversations. How
5:43
often do our conversations revolve
5:45
around complaints, gossip, or stress?
5:48
Flip the script by intentionally weaving
5:50
gratitude into your interactions.
5:52
Instead of just talking about problems,
5:54
highlight something positive. For
5:56
example, today was tough, but I'm really
5:59
thankful my colleague helped me finish
6:01
that project. This subtle shift not only
6:03
changes your mood, but influences the
6:05
energy of the entire conversation.
6:07
Gratitude is contagious. When you share
6:09
it, others are inspired to reflect on
6:11
their blessings, too. Before you know
6:13
it, your relationships feel lighter,
6:15
more supportive, and more uplifting.
6:18
Gratitude in conversation is like
6:19
planting seeds of joy in every
6:21
interaction.
6:22
Eight, use technology with gratitude.
6:26
Yes, technology can be distracting, but
6:29
it can also be a powerful tool for
6:31
gratitude. Set daily reminders on your
6:34
phone to pause and reflect on one thing
6:36
you're thankful for. Use apps that track
6:39
your gratitude journal. Or simply take a
6:41
moment when scrolling through photos to
6:43
feel grateful for the memories you've
6:45
captured. Instead of letting technology
6:48
drain you, flip it into a gratitude
6:50
amplifier. Even sending a quick thank
6:53
you message to someone is easier than
6:55
ever. Technology doesn't have to
6:57
disconnect us. When used intentionally,
6:59
it can remind us of how connected and
7:01
blessed we really are. Nine. Turn
7:04
gratitude into a family or group ritual.
7:07
Gratitude grows stronger when shared.
7:10
Create a daily ritual with your family,
7:12
friends, or even colleagues. Maybe at
7:14
dinner, everyone shares one thing
7:16
they're grateful for. Or during team
7:18
meetings, highlight one success story.
7:20
These rituals create a culture of
7:22
appreciation where everyone feels seen
7:24
and valued. It also teaches children and
7:27
even adults that gratitude isn't just a
7:29
personal practice, but a collective
7:32
strength. When gratitude is woven into
7:34
the fabric of your relationships, it
7:36
becomes something bigger than yourself.
7:38
It becomes a way of life that spreads
7:40
beyond you.
7:42
10. Anchor gratitude to your breath. At
7:45
its core, gratitude is about presence.
7:47
One of the simplest but most profound
7:49
practices is to connect it with your
7:51
breath. Every time you inhale, think,
7:54
"I'm grateful for life." Every time you
7:57
exhale, think, "I release what I don't
7:59
need."
8:00
This can be done anywhere while waiting
8:02
in line, walking outside or before bed.
8:04
It turns something automatic into
8:06
something intentional. And because your
8:08
breath is always with you, gratitude
8:10
becomes something you can carry
8:12
everywhere. Over time, this anchor keeps
8:15
you calm, centered, and deeply
8:17
appreciative of the simplest miracle of
8:19
all, being alive.
8:22
So, there you have it. 10 powerful ways
8:25
to cultivate gratitude every day.
8:27
Remember, gratitude isn't about ignoring
8:30
life's struggles. It's about choosing to
8:32
see the light, even when things feel
8:34
heavy. It's about training your mind to
8:36
recognize that blessings exist
8:38
everywhere, from the grand to the small.
8:40
If only we slow down enough to notice
8:42
them. The more you practice gratitude,
8:45
the richer and more joyful your life
8:47
becomes. Now, I want to hear from you.
