What Happens When You Practice Gratitude for 300 Days?

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. As we sat around the table reflecting on what we’re grateful for, a thought crossed my mind: what if we didn’t limit this reflection to a single holiday? What if we stretched that practice of gratitude across an entire year?

A couple of years ago, I challenged a small group I was working with to do just that: write down ten things they were grateful for every day for 100 days. If they reached 10,000 gratitude entries as a group, I’d buy them all shirts to commemorate the moment. They were all in, but the real magic wasn’t the number; it was the transformation happening inside them. They started seeing more of the beauty and joy in their lives, and many of them kept the practice going long after the 100 days were up. They didn’t just hit 10,000; they soared past it. The real reward was the shift in perspective: turning ordinary moments into extraordinary blessings.

Gratitude doesn’t just change what you see; it changes how you see. And the science backs it up. Studies show that people who practice daily gratitude can experience up to a 25% increase in happiness and a significant reduction in stress. It’s not just feel-good fluff; it’s a real, measurable shift.
