Whether it’s your health, family members who love you unconditionally, or a job you enjoy; it is important to recognize these small victories so that you can focus on the good instead of the bad.

Choose Joy

It may seem easier said than done but choosing joy over despair is key if you want to find gratitude during tough times. Choosing joy allows us to focus on all the little moments of happiness around us which can help us stay positive and optimistic throughout whatever hardships come our way.

No matter what situation you find yourself in, there are always reasons why you should practice gratitude every day - even during difficult times in life.
