Practice gratitude and even write them down, and you will see more and more positive things.

Virtue can be cultivated continuously.

【】 Think hard, be grateful for everything around you and pay attention to all the beautiful things around you.

【】 Set an example to express gratitude to others. Not only do you start an upward spiral with each other, but the other party and others can also take this upward spiral down and pass it on.

Thanksgiving life can turn gratitude into a habit every day. When you are in a bad mood, think more about what you have and what others have done to you. Don't ignore their existence and take it for granted. Expressing gratitude can make you happy, convey gratitude like happiness and make more people happy. Change is difficult, but not impossible.
