According to the seventh annual World Happiness Report the UK placed 15th in the 156-country ranking, just ahead of Ireland. Not bad!

Being happy is something you have to work on, it doesn’t just happen. Happiness requires a conscious effort.

We are big on being grateful in the ResiLife team. Amidst all of the hectic things, life can throw at us in any given day, taking a moment to stop and say one thing you are grateful for can make all of the difference. It may not directly change the situation but acknowledging what we are grateful for helps to see situations in a different light.

The 7 Day Gratitude Challenge

For this weeks ‘Try It post’  we have a simple challenge for you.

Write down 5 things you are grateful for every night for a whole week and note if it makes any difference to your happiness at the end.

I said it was simple.

Let us know in the comments section how you get on.
