One way I've learned to actively incorporate gratitude is when I'm trying to fall asleep at night. It's a common time for my mind to wander to worries and what ifs. When I find this happening, I begin mentally listing the things I'm grateful for and affirm what is going right. It actively rewires my brain for positivity and improves my sleep.
