This time of year, most people in the US celebrate Thanksgiving with family, food and conversation. I hope you and your loved ones are safe, vibrant, and appreciated.
There is much to be grateful for in stressful times. It may take more intention, but practicing gratitude on a daily basis has many health benefits.
❤️ Stress reduction
❤️ Sleep improvement—quality and quantity
❤️ Pain perception reduction
❤️ Social well-being boost
❤️ Happiness augmentation
And—wait for it—gratitude improves impulse control which is a much-needed accompaniment to a lavish meal (yes, I really only need one slice of pumpkin pie!)
Happy Thanksgiving!
