The holidays are a time when people can demonstrate their gratitude. It has been shown that practicing gratitude can improve health in many ways, including better sleep, greater mental and emotional resilience, and decreased anxiety. Whether writing down the things we are grateful for, or simply going through a mental checklist of them, the mere act of doing it helps improve confidence and outlook on life. Most people want to make the world a better place, and the simple expression of gratitude is a great place to start. The holidays can be difficult, particularly those who’ve lost a loved one, those dealing with a personal illness or the illness of a loved one, and those going through other personal hardships. Whether a family member, friend, coworker, or even a stranger, small expressions of gratitude can go a long way toward changing someone’s outlook.
