The benefits of practicing gratitude are nearly endless. People who regularly practice gratitude by taking time to notice and reflect upon the things they're thankful for experience more positive emotions, feel more alive, sleep better, express more compassion and kindness, and even have stronger immune systems.

Research has shown:

1. Men and women with heart disease who practiced gratitude showed significant improvement in heart health.
2. Grateful teens are less likely to abuse alcohol and drugs.
3. In a study of character strengths, gratitude was found to be the single best predictor of wellbeing.
4. Appreciating what we have brings greater positivity and life satisfaction, even when scientists disregarded the effects of optimism,  spirituality, and emotional self-awareness.
5. People who are grateful are more likely to demonstrate self-control. This can help foster better decisions regarding healthy eating, smoking, avoiding impulse purchases, and saving money.
 

Come and discover the cutting edge science behind the benefits of gratitude; then learn specific tools to use at work and at home to improve your own health and well-being.
