It’s easy to see a day-to-day task as a mundane chore, even if it really is an opportunity we’re happy to have. Remind yourself by saying “I get to” instead of “I have to” when thinking about the task to foster a more gracious mindset.

While you won’t necessarily say “I get to take out the garbage!” with genuine excitement, other situations put the change into perspective.

It’s a simple change that can remind you to be thankful and happy throughout your day for the things you normally take for granted.
