I think you've probably heard it before, maybe even from me, that people who practice gratitude on a consistant basis tend to not only be happier in their day-to-day lives but also healthier. Often someone disciplined in the art of being grateful reap health rewards like a better night sleep, stronger immunity, and feeling more energetic and alive.
There are so many ways to practice gratitude. I'm only sharing 24 with you today, but just remember - don't over think or complicate the process. A gratitude journal doesn't need to be super profound or thought provoking. Remember it's the little things: sunshine, the sound of a kid laughing, that delicious dessert, the parking spot right up front...nothing is too little or too big for a gratitude list.
