Cues to Use the Tool 1. Use the Grateful Flow immediately whenever you are attacked by negative thoughts. If unchallenged, negative thinking will just get stronger. 2. Use the Grateful Flow any time your mind becomes undirected—when you’re on “hold” during a phone call, stuck in traffic, or standing in line at the market. 3. You can even make the tool part of your daily schedule. That turns specific times (waking up, going to sleep, mealtimes) into cues.
