Why Morning Works Best
Gratitude in the morning works better than evening because it sets your brain's filter for the entire day. When you start by noticing good things, your reticular activating system (the brain's attention filter) looks for MORE good things throughout the day.
Evening gratitude is like reviewing footage. Morning gratitude is programming the camera.
The 5-Minute Format
Minute 1: Three things you're grateful for waking up to today Minute 2: One person you appreciate and why Minute 3: One thing about your body or health you're glad works Minute 4: One opportunity you have today Minute 5: One sentence about how you want to feel today
Do this before checking your phone. The order matters — phone first fills your mind with other people's priorities.
