Happy New Year!
Are you ready to bring in 2023 with open arms? We are, and we are excited to share this week's episode about practicing gratitude consistently this year and all the benefits you can reap from incorporating this into your family routine!

Amma has 10 advantages of practicing gratitude on a regular basis

1. Fosters positive relationships and connection
2. Decreases stress
3. Increases sense of emotional well being
4. Builds self-esteem
5. Improves physical well being
6. Lessens anxiety and depression
7. Lowers aggressive tendencies
8. Enhances empathy
9. Improves sleep
10. Increases ability to overcome adversity- builds resilience

Amma would journal 5 things every night when she was really struggling and noticed that maintaining this practice truly turned her emotional and physical health around! Mama Sareena writes down her top 3 every morning and is a much nicer wife when she is constantly journaling as well. 

But do not forget you need to “feel it to heal it” as amma says. This is not to encourage toxic positivity but to build the ability to overcome adversity once it is acknowledged and felt.

Gratitude should be practiced at a consistent time of day depending on your family schedule and can be done in different ways.

Here are some examples:

1. Gratitude walks
2. Speaking gratitude (i.e. go around the table at breakfast or dinner time, calling someone when you receive a gift in the mail)
3. Writing gratitude (i.e. gratitude journal, gratitude jar, gratitude tree, writing thank you cards and sending them in the mail)

 This family fun Friday we will share some creative ways you can practice as a family!
