Overlooking everything that’s wonderful is a real tragedy

I have recently started doing two things daily. Real actions rather than just thoughts or plans.

I start every morning writing to someone (so far everyone I am sending this message is on email. But eventually I will use any means, including phone call or texting) thanking him/her and telling the person my gratitude, in details.

And then before I go to bed every night I put down in my file three things, little or big things, that I am grateful for in the previous 24 hours.

This I am really happy to tell you has changed my mind and given me a better mental health for a good duration.

I have realised that previously I did not have a habit or system to remind myself of all the wonderful things in and in front of me. Now I am simply making sure I pay attention to them.

Overlooking wonderful things is a real tragedy and I intend to learn through daily action/practice not to overlook them.
