We think faster than we speak which means most people are thinking about what they are going to say in response instead of actively listening.

Practising gratitude helps us to be thankful and appreciate what we have in our lives, rather than focussing on what we don’t have or what we want. When we practice being grateful, we start to scan the world to look for positives – this only takes 21 days!

It even helps us have a better sleep, lowers levels of anxiety and depression and we are less likely to get sick.
