November is National Gratitude Month. Practicing daily gratitude gives us a deeper connection to ourselves and the world around us. Research has shown that exercising gratitude regularly can enhance our moods, strengthen social bonds, and improve physical health.
Take the 7-day challenge and share your favorite moments with us on social media!
Day 1: Start your morning by listing 3 things you’re grateful for.
They can be as simple as having a restful sleep or your morning coffee. This sets a positive tone for your day.
Day 2: Take a moment to appreciate nature’s beauty and how it contributes to your well-being.
Spend time outdoors, whether it’s a walk, sitting in a park, or even gazing out a window.
Day 3: Set aside 5 minutes to be fully present.
Look around and appreciate the small things you usually overlook—sunlight, fresh air, or even a quiet moment.
Day 4: Write a letter of gratitude to a friend, colleague or family member.
Reach out to a friend, colleague, or family member and tell them why you’re grateful for them. A simple text, email, or call can brighten both your days.
Day 5: Take a moment to honor your body.
Think about one thing it does that you’re thankful for, like the ability to walk, breathe, or enjoy the taste of your favorite foods.
Day 6: Think of a past challenge that made you stronger or taught you a valuable lesson.
Write down how it helped shape you positively.
Day 7: Reflect on your week.
