To create a grateful and empowered perspective when you're frustrated with obstacles to your goals, impatient about waiting for developments, or scared or depressed about your prospects.
When your feelings are hurt, you're upset about an argument, or you're uneasy about whether a relationship works for you.
To give yourself an inner vacation from struggle, worries, and other things that interfere with your enjoyment of the moment by substituting gratitude for your negative reactions and habitual, unexamined concerns.
