As part of the Thanks & Giving Self Care Campaign, this Five for Friday focuses on the power of gratitude to provide self care.

Researchers have concluded that writing down 3 things you're thankful for every day for 21 days can actually re-wire your brain to be more positive.  During the busy holiday season it's more difficult to practice self care.  Gratitude is an easy, but powerful practice that can make the holiday season more pleasant.  

We've started the Thanks & Giving Campaign because we want to encourage self care that's meaningful and purposeful.  If you'd like to participate in this self care campaign, check out our website at www.theheartofhospice.com

On the website you can sign up to receive daily emails that will encourage you and inspire you to practice healthy self care during the holidays.  Specifically, practices of gratitude and generosity.
