GRATITUDE IMPROVES EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH!

So says a recent study by Dr. Robert Emmons at the University of California, Davis.
So, what if we all decide to form a strong habit of expressing gratitude.
At the end each day, as we lay our heads on our pillows, we could think of 3 things we’re thankful for that day, and then mentally savor them: a beautiful flower or sunset, kind words spoken by someone, an accomplishment, a person. We could make our whole year happier and healthier— according to Dr. Emmons!
Try it right now: close your eyes and think of 3 things. Then, if you want to be even happier, express gratitude for each item—whether that means a silent “thank you” to God, or saying it out loud to someone.
What a simple and beautiful way to have a happier, and healthier, year!
