Gratitude: The Science is In 📚

The science is in 📚

64 clinical trials on gratitude were pooled in an analysis to show…

Gratitude reduces anxiety and depression, improves mental health, and boosts life satisfaction.

Some details:

🔸 The studies involved a range of participants, including children, teens, adults, doctors, and prisoners.

🔸 Gratitude practices ranged from journaling to posting pictures on social media with captions of gratitude to just thinking about being thankful.

🔸 Scientists say the positive emotions triggered by gratitude set off a chain reaction of neurotransmitters in the brain like a chemical reaction boosting health and happiness.

This does not have to be hard!

Practicing gratitude mostly takes intention and consistency.

Keep a journal.

Notice the beauty around you.

Compliment someone.

Say thank you.

Smile.

🙏

☀️Morning Mood Lift (Try It!)

It really doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sometimes clients come to me feeling unmotivated and exhausted. All their labs and tests look normal, and there appears to be no physical cause for the fatigue.

Because sometimes that feeling of being drained is not rooted in the physical but in the mental 🤯

👉👉Caused by boredom, lack of purpose, or mindset.

One way to combat fatigue that is driven by the mind is to begin every day with a brief journaling exercise. Grab a notebook and each morning fill in these blanks:

🔹 Today I want to feel…..

🔹 Today I want to accomplish….

🔹 Today I am grateful for….

Simple as that. This exercise will train your brain to focus on what matters most and will give you a sense of purpose.
