Did you know that expressing gratitude is actually good for your health? After the string of storms we’ve experienced the past months, gratitude is the antidote we NEED!
Studies in positive psychology have shown that gratitude is consistently associated with greater happiness. People who practice gratitude feel more positive emotions, get more enjoyment out of experiences, improve their health, cope better with adversity, and build stronger relationships.
In this season of thankfulness, here are some simple ways to bring more gratitude into daily life:
Write a Thank You Note – Take a moment to write a thank you note to someone whose actions made a difference in your life this year. Try sending one at least once a month to experience the benefits of regularly expressing appreciation.
Keep a Gratitude Journal – While it’s easy to focus on daily annoyances, tracking things you’re grateful for each day can shift your mindset. Even if you don’t write them down, take a moment to acknowledge them or share with a loved one. Writing things down gives you a record of good moments to revisit later.
Count Your Blessings – Each week, set aside some time to reflect on good experiences, big or small, and recall how each made you feel. Being specific helps deepen appreciation.
Pray or Meditate – For a few minutes, quiet the noise of daily life and focus on things you’re truly thankful for. This simple practice can bring a sense of calm and perspective.
