Individuals have practiced gratitude for centuries, but it's become even more prominent as study after study confirms the physical, emotional and relational benefits of gratitude.
This article shares the following benefits of gratitude for the individual:
- increased happiness and positive mood
- more satisfaction with life
- less materialistic
- less likely to experience burnout
- better physical health
- better sleep
- less fatigue
- lower levels of cellular inflammation
- greater resiliency
- encourages the development of patience, humility, and wisdom
That's a list of benefits that sounds pretty good to me!
I'll be using this FUN free-standing gratitude album as I practice gratitude throughout the upcoming month of November.
This album has pocket page protectors, and I've used the kit materials to create cards for each day of November.
My plan is to record something I'm grateful for each day by simply pulling out the card and writing in one or two items.
I'm looking forward to practicing gratitude with this FUN album!
Do you have a gratitude practice? Will you be recording the things you're thankful for this November?
