After my last post 'Weave gratitude into your life', one of the main
    questions I was asked was how to ensure being present. 
As I
    mentioned in the previous article, we have no shortage of distractions in
    our everyday life as every single second, minute, and hour slips away from
    us before we even realize it is gone. 
I also gave a method
    by which we can consciously focus on being grateful throughout the
    day. 
In this article, I want to suggest another method that
    can possibly be even more fun in our journey towards a more grateful
    living.
  Get a group of friends you can connect with and create a gratitude group. You can help each other and guide each other to stay on the
      path of gratitude. You can even help each other notice more things to be
      grateful for. 
Even if, in a group of 3-4 people, each can have 2 things to be grateful
    for twice a week, it is a good place to start. 
There are times when some of us feel a lot of resistance to even move
    toward gratitude. This could also be because of a fear that if we are
    grateful - if we acknowledge, something is worth being thankful for, we will
    get stuck there and it will not get better. 
But that's not what happens. The more we are thankful for, the more
    opportunities we get to be thankful for. 
I also acknowledge, there will be times when the only thing that feels good
    is to complain about everything. And that's ok, as long as we go through
    that phase, come out of it and move towards gratitude again.
A gratitude group will be very helpful in these situations. So go
    ahead, set up your own gratitude group, and let it light up the
    lives of you and your loved ones.
