It is world gratitude day today!
Did you know that gratitude can powerfully impact your mental health?
By moving our attention from problems to solutions, practicing gratitude has found to produce seratonin, dopamine, oxytocin which are feel-good neurotransmitters (Burton, 2020).
Gratitude has also been linked to improved self-esteem, moods, mental health and even physical health (Killen & Macaskill, 2015).
When we are able to become aware by acknowledging the support that we have right now, focus can be successfully shifted to our blessings rather than the burdens.
“Gratitude finds its root in the Latin word “gratis” which is where we get the word grace. It means finding good will in all things. In every situation, we have the choice to be grateful.”
“Gratitude chooses to see what we have. Entitlement chooses to focus on what we don’t have.” - Matt Ham
