Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and the number one predictor of happiness is gratitude.  Here is one simple way to get that gratitude practice into your routine every single day. 

 

On Sunday, list 5 things you are most grateful for. 

Each night of the week review the list 

Add to the list on the following Sunday 

 

Authur Brooks, a Harvard professor on this subject says you will get 10-25% happier over 10 weeks, according to the science he’s researched, because you will REMEMBER the things that are really important to you.  And heck, it can be that the trees are green.  Just do something. 

 

Do you keep track of your gratitude?  I’m curious if my listeners out there have a gratitude practice and what it is.  Send me a DM @everydayhappinesswithkatie.   If you have a gratitude journal, snap a pic and share with the hashtags  #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram so we can have some inspiration. 

 

And if you are feeling like boosting some gratitude, we’d be honored if you could leave a review for our little mico-podcast so that we can share happiness with others.  

 

And remember, kindness is contagious, so go out there and spread some kindness in the world.
