30 Day Gratitude Challenge

Gratitude is a deep appreciation for something or someone and maybe the key to happiness, well-being, and mental strength. Study after study shows that practicing gratitude for as little as 5 minutes can alter activity in brain regions associated with emotion and motivation. 

Practicing gratitude makes the simple switch from counting burdens to counting blessings, which can promote a positive mind-set while reducing stress – something we can all use.

A gratitude practice can be as simple as mentally listing things you are grateful for, or you can keep a gratitude journal if writing is more your style. Try this 30 Day Gratitude Challenge with new gratitude journal prompts for each day. By the end of the 30 day challenge, it will be much easier to count your blessings instead of your burdens.
