Check around the internet and you'll find lots of advice about living gratefully. The trick is not just noticing reasons to be grateful; it's about ways to express it. Bottom line: Gratitude doesn't truly exist (much less develop) until it's expressed. I'll give you a bunch of exercises guaranteed to show you how to spot opportunities to show gratitude, how it's expressed and develops.

√ When people show kindness you didn't earn
√ When you wake up breathing, thinking ...etc.
√ When enjoy the taste of food
√ When you sit down to eat
√ When anything good happens to you
√ When you need to find hope in hardships
√ When someone provides for a daily need
Situations requiring gratitude happen every day at least a hundred times! Most of the time we don't even notice. But there is a direct correlation between expressing thanks and noticing reasons to be grateful. Expressing creates noticing. It's not the other way around. You should be giving thanks a hundred times a day. No exaggeration. But f you're not, then shoot for 25. Then 50. Then 75. The more thanks you say the more reasons you'll see.
Sound like a worthy goal? I can help you get there.
The world around you is looking for, hoping for, hungry for people who are quick to express thanks sincerely and frequently. People who never take the efforts and kindness of others for granted. People who are always appreciative, because they don't enter the day assuming other people owe them a thing. Anything good that happens to them is a blessing they didn't earn or deserve. People like that can literally change the atmosphere of a home or any venue. Talk about helping the world become a better place! Guess what?
There's no magic bullet that transforms you overnight. But there is a path, a path of insight, discovery, steps and practice. I take you on that path in this module. Check out the path and what you get below.
