A continual “thank you” may be the sweetest kind of Christian mindfulness exercise. It uplifts your spirits every time.

As it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: Always rejoice. Unceasingly pray. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Yes, this is the will of God for our lives. That means rejoicing when things seem bleak (for we always have God with us), praying at all times (even when we are driving or reading) and giving thanks for everything (even when we are poor, hungry or imprisoned).

We can break any bad mood with a thank you walk, looking at what’s around us and giving thanks for it!
