Saying it out loud

- Happiness is the sum total of gratitude in a day
AA expression

There is something to be grateful for in every moment. Too often, however, we let these moments slip by, allowing our attention to settle on what we don’t like, or the many things we wish to change. Then happiness becomes quickly elusive.

One way to get ourselves out of that rut and claim our happiness is by saying out loud the things we appreciate right now: “What a beautiful snowfall!”

Immediately our hearts are lifted.

They say to put your money where your mouth is; to walk the talk. That’s how you put theory into practice. When it comes to happiness, the opposite is just as true: put your mouth where your money is. Talk the walk.

By expressing what we are grateful for, happiness is.
