Today I’m feeling extra grateful!

The French call Gratitude “the memory of the heart.” And gratitude is now even being studied scientifically! Robert Emmons, a professor in the new field of positive psychology at University of California Davis, is conducting research on gratitude. He found gratitude contributes to emotional equanimity and pleasure, richer personal relationships and greater health. He says ‘Gratitude is more than a tool for self-improvement. Gratitude is a way of life.”

A simple way to cultivate your gratitude is to keep a Gratitude Journal. For the next four weeks, make a commitment to write down five things you are grateful for each day. Include the ordinary as well as the extraordinary.

Create a ritual time to do this each day. Science shows us that keeping a gratitude journal for as little as three weeks results in better sleep and more energy!

Igniting Your Spirit,

Ann
