Discover the Power of Gratitude – How Practicing It Can Transform Your Health and Happiness!

Gratitude.

I feel like the word gratitude is spoken more and more lately. But what are people really talking about when they mention gratitude and how can we practice it?

Let's start with some facts and research.

Gratitude has been proven to improve sleep (Wood et al 2008), increase optimism and well-being (Jackowska et al 2015), and increase life satisfaction (Polak at al 2006).

If that wasn’t enough, it has also been shown to affect how others around you see you, with McCullough (2002) reporting that grateful people are seen as more generous and helpful - never a bad thing!

There are lots of ways to practice gratitude on a daily basis but today we're going to keep it short and simple.

Before you go to bed, write down five things you are grateful for.

These can be anything you like, big or small. You could be grateful for your morning latte, grateful for the time spent with loved ones today, grateful for the Netflix show you enjoyed. Anything goes.

The only rules are, think of five, write them down, and do this every evening. See how you feel after a week, a month, a year! Trust the process and enjoy being grateful.
