Gratitude Playlist

[pateandbrie]

I've been reading a lot recently about the benefits of practising gratitude. I have an app and write down things I'm grateful for every day and while I don't think it's having any sort of magical effect, I enjoy doing it and it definitely improves my mood, if only temporarily.

I was listening to a podcast this morning that suggested a 'gratitude playlist' - songs that basically say thank you a lot that you can sing along to and give yourself a big old dose of gratitude. I've started to put one together but I've run out of inspiration very quickly! Any ideas?!

So far I have

• Thank you - Dido
• Grateful for this day - Lauren Nikohl
• Grateful - Rita Ora
• Smile - Katy Perry
• Thankful - Kelly Clarkson

...?

Thank you 😊

The song begins 'Thank you for the days'. It's a lovely song in praise of his sister and he thanks her.
