Highway to Health: Gratitude is Attitude

While it may seem simple, intentionally practicing gratitude can have multiple benefits. Studies have shown that focusing on feeling grateful can improve sleep and decease rates of depression, anxiety and chronic pain.

Here are several ways to practice gratitude in your daily life:

• Try starting your day by thinking of something you’re grateful for right when you wake up.
• Demonstrate gratitude by making a kind or thoughtful gesture: Text a kind thought to a friend, buy a coffee for a stranger, or make a point to pay someone a sincere compliment each day.
• Before a meal, take turns saying something you are grateful for that day.
• Keep a gratitude journal – write down things that you appreciate at the end of each day.
