Cultivating gratitude benefits all aspects of wellness: intellectual, spiritual, occupational, social, physical, and emotional. When we express and receive expressions of gratitude, our brain releases neurotransmitters responsible for positive emotions.  This in turn has positive effects on our metabolic and hormonal system. Gratitude helps us to reframe our negative thoughts, stay grounded in the present, focus on solutions, and connect us to others. 

Cultivating gratitude is as simple as taking some time each day to acknowledge the goodness in our life: from simple gifts of a deep breath and sustaining food to the miracles of beauty, joy, and love.
