How gratitude is practiced
Gratitude andobservation they go hand in hand. If you are locked up in your own thoughts it becomes really difficult to be able to enjoy the things that surround us and it refers to a sunset, a sunrise, the color of the leaves, a meal. Anything could give us occasion for joy and gratitude, if we remain open to life.

The present moment always remains the gateway to gratitude. If you live in the past or the future it becomes very difficult not to experience gratitude with regret or with anxiety or expectations. The present remains the door through which the desire to be happy and serene enters.

Focusing on the things we have power over becomes a great way to change the sense of gratitude.
The enemies of gratitude
Life immediately sends gratitude back. Who we cry on him it has every reason to do it and keep doing it as it vibrates on a low frequency. Seeing the wonder that surrounds us also depends on the people we decide to hang out with. The lament forcefully chase gratitude away. If we see what goes wrong our gaze remains narrow and we are receptive only to what remains dark and heavy. Of course, if there are moments when it seems to us that everything is going wrong, it becomes difficult to maintain a positive attitude, but there are good ways to start over. We all have some form of resilience, a certain springy way to invest in the future and have hope based on the things we want. Sometimes stopping means finding the strength to start in a different way. Even if we are experiencing one separation on a sentimental level, at times the distance gives new strength to the union that is lived.
We should always try to keep control anxiety at bay, which is the main enemy of gratitude. If I control, I create anxiety and expectation. I can only control and observe how I experience something, how I focus my degree of attention. Habit is another great enemy of gratitude. If I always do the same things I always get the same results. If I do not make myself responsible first of all for my actions, unfortunately I always tend to live the single days in an unproductive and bright way. We should manage everything trying not to feed the frustration and feeling in control of our days means living in the direction of gratitude, out of anger, from pains and from sadness.
