Take Time for Gratitude

Practicing gratitude –whether it’s when you first wake up, or in the evening – is an important way to improve your physical and mental health. According to research, grateful people experience fewer aches and pains, and less negative emotions.

Wondering how you can make gratitude part of your daily routine? Many people find keeping a “gratitude” journal helpful. Here you can keep track of big things (like a promotion or a successful surgery) or things we tend to take for granted (like running water or the ability to experience our senses).

Remember: taking time to be grateful for life’s blessings is an important part of the journey to better health.
