Listen Later

Many scientific studies, including research by renowned psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough, have found gratitude is one of the highest forms of healing known to man. People who consciously focus on gratitude experience greater emotional well-being and physical health than those who don't. In fact, it's more than just a feeling, their research has shown that people who consistently practice gratitude;

  • Feel better about their lives as a whole
  • Experience more significant levels of joy and happiness
  • Felt optimistic about the future
  • Got sick less often
  • Exercised more regularly
  • Had more energy, enthusiasm, determination, and focus
  • Made more considerable progress toward achieving important personal goals
  • Slept better and awoke feeling refreshed
  • Felt stronger during trying times
  • Enjoyed closer family ties
  • Were more likely to help others and offer emotional support
  • Experienced fewer symptoms of stress

If we link this back to health, then we know gratitude must be part of the equation. It's essential if you want more happiness, joy, and energy. Inside today's podcast, we dive into why gratitude is better than a diet and your challenge to start practicing gratitude today.
