It’s the time for Thanksgiving. A time where we eat delicious food and roll off the sofa the next day. 🙂 More importantly, it’s a time where we not only think about how grateful we are but we tend to express it more than we do any other time of year.

As I imagined what would happen if we all committed to practicing gratitude every day rather than just this season, I couldn’t help but share what I found with you.

Studies show that there are some INCREDIBLE benefits to practicing gratitude, some of them even surprised me!

In this video I share the benefits of practicing gratitude and a few ways to inspire you to do it all year round. You can tell I had a lot of fun shooting it for you. 🙂

The benefits of gratitude are undeniable:

• Improved physical emotional and spiritual health
• Greater optimism
• Improved feelings of connection in times of loss or crisis
• Increased self-esteem
• Heightened energy levels
• Strengthened heart, immune system and decreased blood sugar
• Improved emotional and academic intelligence
• Expanded capacity for forgiveness
• Decreased stress and anxiety
• Improved self care
• A greater likelihood to exercise

And the best part, there are so many simple ways to practice gratitude so you can receive all of these amazing benefits, here are a few I shared:

• Write 3 things you are grateful for
• Write a letter expressing gratitude to someone you know (or even a text)
• Write out what you like about yourself
• Say thank you to someone

I would love to hear from you! Please leave us a comment below, sharing what’s ONE thing you will commit to doing every single day and what YOU are grateful for.
