Day 7: Practicing Gratitude


Listen Later

Scientists have found that practicing gratitude can offer powerful health benefits.

It may make you happier, reduce anxiety, and boost your immune system. Research also shows it can increase optimism, relieve depression, improve sleep, lower blood pressure, and strengthen relationships.

This short session guides you to reflect on what you appreciate in your life — the big things, the small things, and everything in between.

Practicing gratitude means consciously recognizing and appreciating the positive aspects of your life. By doing this exercise, you will begin to feel yourself more grounded and grateful for what is in your life right now.
