Gratitude Challenge

Gratitude is a spontaneous feeling but, increasingly, research demonstrates its value as a practice—that is, making conscious efforts to count one's blessings.

 

Studies show that people can deliberately cultivate gratitude—and there are important social and personal benefits to doing so.

 

It is possible to feel grateful for loved ones, colleagues, animals, nature, and life in general. The emotion generates a climate of positivity that both reaches inward and extends outward.
