This time of year, people always talk about the importance of being grateful. We celebrate Thanksgiving, and may even share a few things we’re thankful for in life.
But what would it look like to have a mindset of gratefulness all year long? Here are 3 direct ways being thankful can impact us:
Being Grateful Improves Our Physical Wellbeing: Studies have shown that gratitude is linked to minimized pain, healthier sleep, and a stronger immune system.
Being Grateful Improves Our Mental Wellbeing: Gratitude can relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression, leading to an overall healthier state of mind.
Being Grateful Improves Our Relationships with Others: When we express gratitude to friends and family in our lives, we form a deeper sense of trust, love, and closeness with them.
Don’t wait for Thanksgiving to roll around to be thankful. Be intentional in having a mindset of gratefulness all year long.
