When you wake up, lie in bed for a few moments and decide that as soon as you place your feet on the floor, gratitude will be your first utterance of the day. As you place your feet on the floor, speak your thankfulness out loud:

“I am thankful for another day on this planet, thank you for these strong feet. I am blessed to live in a country with toilets and running water. Thank you for these lungs which breathe me, thank you for my tongue which allows me to speak. Thank you for this water for my tea. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for such a soul-full ritual to begin my day.’

Please refer to the book for more details on this activity.
