In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we often overlook the good things that come our way. The small joys, the little wins, and moments of comfort and peace can often fade into the background and get lost in the things that demand our attention.

At Little Otter, we understand that cultivating gratitude can greatly improve our wellbeing. The act of remembering to be thankful can influence our lives with boosting happiness and improving our overall health. In this post, we will share three simple yet effective prompts that you can use with your family. These easy questions can help your family reflect to appreciate all things big and small.

Prompt 1: "What are three good things that happened today?"

The first way is easy but powerful - think of three good things that happened today. These could be significant events such as landing a new job, or small pleasures like savoring a warm cup of coffee This helps us focus on the good in our lives, making us happier and less stressed.

Prompt 2: "Who has made a positive impact in my life recently?"

The second way is to think about people who have helped us. This makes us feel thankful for them and strengthens our relationship. It can make us feel more connected and inspire us to be kind to others.

Prompt 3: "What is a challenge I've overcome that I'm proud of?"

The third way is to think about problems we've solved. This makes us grateful for our strength and growth. It helps us be proud of our past struggles and more positive about future challenges.
