Actively directing your thoughts towards gratitude is very good for you. I dont always agree that it has to be five. Sometimes things are so hard it may be 1 or 2. I also do not write them down. As part of my morning and evening meditations I think of things I am grateful for and sometimes was grateful for yesterday.
When my just turned 18 year old daughter ran away 18 months ago while in high school leaving us a note on the table- well my heart cracked and I was sobbing. BUT we figured out which delinquint mother and girls she was staying with and begged for them to send her home- but they did not. That night the only thing I was grateful for was that she was sleeping under a roof and not running the streets.
The next morning I was grateful that I could breath without a panic attack. and so on and so forth.
