I try to practice "gratitude" as often as possible throughout the day. I am grateful for a lot of things but I won't go into the specifics since they are personal and therefore not important :)

I try to say "Thank you" as soon as I wake up in the morning. I often fail to do it first thing in the morning but I catch myself within 10 minutes or so and I say and feel it. I don't mean anything in particular, I am simply thankful for this new day and the opportunities it will bring to me.

Then during the day, when I see something that is in harmony with what I want to experience or when I see something beautiful, I mentally extend gratitude to the Universe/God.

When there are things that are not in alignment with what I want, I try to find a lesson in the unpleasant experience and I say something like "thank you for this lesson".

In the evening I usually do one of the meditations from Wayne Dyer's book "Manifest your destiny", which is basically going through all the things I am grateful for, while reciting the mantra "om".

EDIT: after posting this I realized that I am totally not answering the question :) To summarize: As much as possible I try to see the whole human experience as a great opportunity and to be grateful for everything that comes into my life, while focusing mostly on beauty, joy and all the things that I want to see in the world.

As my feet hit the floor in the morning I say,Thank you for the opportunity to live in a state of contentment.I am also looking for things to be grateful for all day long, never really have to look too hard. Thank you!

Hey Roy, are you quoting someone or are those your own words? I learned this "technique" from Wayne Dyer's movie "The Shift".

(17 Nov '09, 12:24) Toshiro

Toshiro, I never saw the movie The Shift but I did read Change your Thoughts, Change your Life by Wayne Dyer some time ago and that has just stuck with me.You are very perceptive :)

I am grateful for being alive and being able to have all the wonderful experiences in life.

I am also grateful for the spiritual teachings of Abraham (Esther Hicks) which remind me everyday what life is supposed to be like and how I can make the most of it.
