In your daily rites, it's a great practice to list 12 blessings each time. The number because 12 is an obvious sacred number in Hellenism, and listing your blessings each day will build gratefulness and light in your soul and life. It will help you live a more positive existence, which means that less negativity will follow you around.
You can even correspond them with each Olympian God. Below I will list several examples.
By Zeus, I am grateful for my husband/father.
By Hera, I am grateful for my wife/mother.
By Aphrodite, I am grateful for the love in my life.
By Poseidon, I am grateful for the waters.
By Demeter, I am grateful for the food on my table.
By Artemis, I am grateful for my children.
By Apollon, I am grateful for the sun.
By Athena, I am grateful for my strength and knowledge.
By Hephaistos, I am grateful for the beauty in my life.
By Ares, I am grateful for overcoming my enemies.
By Hermes, I am grateful for the wealth I have.
By Dionysos, I am grateful for life.
I have found that this helps me greatly in moving out of a state of pessimism and sadness. In all of your religious and spiritual activities, one of your goals should be holiness and freedom from all that hinders your enjoyment of life.
