Daily Gratitude Challenge
Gratitude is a topic that often comes up when Thanksgiving rolls around, but it’s something important to discuss year-round. Not only does it feel good to have a grateful outlook on life, but the benefits of gratitude are scientifically proven to affect everything from your relationships, to your stress level, to the quality of your sleep. Feelings of gratitude don’t always come naturally, but an attitude of gratitude is something we can cultivate in our lives through daily practice and intention. Our goal is to make gratitude a part of who we are rather than something we conjure up during the holidays or whenever something good happens in life. Embrace this journey, not for a reward, but for the transformative power of gratitude itself. Let’s make gratitude an enduring part of our essence, beyond the holidays and fleeting moments of joy. Join us, won’t you?
