Practice Daily Gratitude (3 mins)
“We should have an attitude of gratitude and always be asking ourselves how we can pay it forward.”-Sachin Patel
Intentionally practicing gratitude can seem simple and basic, but the positive results that you will get f rom doing this are immeasurable!
Benefits of Practicing Gratitude and Simple Tips:
•Notice and appreciate the beauty of nature while you are soaking up the morning sunlight.
•Write down 3 things that you’re grateful for. We love using the 5-Minute Journal (you can always use your favorite journal).
•Practicing gratitude has been shown to lower cortisol. When we lower cortisol the body is more likely to heal and repair.
•Practicing gratitude also increases neurotransmitters like serotonin (feel happy/good mood) and dopamine (motivation and pleasure) and increases activity in the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus regulates our food intake, metabolism, and stress levels.
•Those who practice gratitude have been shown to have a better metabolism!
