The Power of Gratitude

What Is Gratitude?

Gratitude is recognizing and appreciating the good in your life—whether it's something big (like
your health or family) or small (like a warm cup of tea or a kind text). It shifts your focus from
what's missing to what’s present.

Why It Matters (Backed by Research):

• Increases happiness and life satisfaction


• Reduces anxiety and depression
• Improves relationships and empathy
• Boosts physical health (better sleep, less inflammation)
• Strengthens resilience during tough times

How to Practice Gratitude

1. Gratitude Journal

• Each day, write down 1–3 things you're grateful for.


• Be specific: “My dog” → “The way my dog greets me at the door like I’m a rockstar.”

2. Gratitude Reframe

• Take something annoying and flip it:


o “I have to go to work” → “I get to go to work and earn income.”
o “I’m overwhelmed by my family” → “I’m lucky to have people who need and love
me.”

3. Thank Someone

• Text or email a quick thank-you to someone who made a difference in your day or life.
• For deeper impact, write a gratitude letter—even if you never send it.

4. Gratitude Jar or App

• Write small moments on slips of paper and drop them into a jar.
• Use apps like “Grateful” or “Day One” to log thoughts with photos.
When to Do It

• Morning: Sets a positive tone for your day.


• Evening: Helps your brain wind down and reflect.
• In-the-moment: Pause and mentally say, “This is good.”

Examples of Small Gratitude Moments

• A stranger held the door open.


• You had a really good coffee.
• The sky looked beautiful.
• Someone remembered your name.
• You made it through a hard day.
