If you could perform one ritual every evening to remind yourself of the good in life, what would it be?

I will write down three things I am grateful for today. I will visualize in my mind everything I have accomplished. I am devoted to someone close to me and I share my thoughts with them. I indulge in a moment of peace and breathe deeply. I will fall asleep with the feeling that tomorrow might be better.

Imagine that someone has given you an unexpected gift. How do you react?

With a smile and words of gratitude, regardless of what it may be. I will think about whether I deserve that gift. I will be happy, but I'm thinking about what I should give in return. I feel uncomfortable because I don't like surprises. I am more interested in why they gave it to me than the gift itself.

To someone in the family who has always supported me. A teacher or mentor who changed my life. To a friend who was there for me in difficult times. To myself – for what I have accomplished. I don't know, there are many people I could thank.

Imagine you are looking through old photographs. What touches you the most?

Stories and memories that are connected to them. The change that I have gone through since then. People who are no longer part of my life. Atmosphere and feelings that arise within me. I’m more interested in what was behind the shot than the moment itself.

Select an answer:

It inspires me and I feel joy. I will be pleased by it, but I won't pay it much attention. It raises the question for me whether I can express gratitude in the same way. I am skeptical if it is sincere. It reminds me of a situation when I could have been more grateful.

If you had to express gratitude without words, how would you do it?

With a hug or a touch. With a small gesture, such as a gift or an act. With a smile and eye contact. By writing something personal. I always find a way depending on the situation.

Which moment of your day do you value the most?

Select an answer:

Morning silence and a moment for myself. Time spent with loved ones. When I feel that I have accomplished something. The moment when I can relax and not deal with anything. When I realize that even the small things are important.

How do you react when you realize that you have missed something for a long time, but now you have it?

Select an answer:

Imagine waking up and realizing that everything you didn't give thanks for yesterday has disappeared. What would you miss the most?

Family and close people. Health and the ability to do everyday things. My home and safe place. The options and opportunities that I had. Little things that I never noticed before.
