Gratitude

Yoga and GratitudeBy Jennifer Jordan


Gratitude.......just like other things that are important to health – exercising, eating right, getting adequate sleep – may be easy to lose in the couch cushions of life.

But, there are a few tricks of the trade aimed at helping gratitude flourish. Setting aside a few moments a day, perhaps five or ten minutes, to just reflect on what it is you appreciate today can be helpful. Another thing that can be helpful is getting a small notebook and writing down three or five small things that you are grateful for, like the sunshine, the time to reflect, clean clothes, and a warm cup of tea.

Writing is a great tool for self reflection, writing down thoughts of what are you thankful for helps you cultivate gratitude. So much of our health and overall well being is determined by the way we think, programming our brains will program our lives.
