The Importance of Practicing Gratitude

The Importance of Practicing Gratitude What if we spent the entire year focusing on gratitude and giving thanks rather than just during Thanksgiving? Gratitude not only helps us to feel good, but it also allows others to feel wanted and appreciated. Who doesn’t want more of that? In this week’s episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Ryan & Ashley Berlin talk about what gratitude is, the positive impacts it can have on us, and the importance of reflecting on what you’re thankful for everyday. Dr. Ryan explains that “one of the best things about practicing gratitude is the more you use it… the more you see the things showing up in your life that you’re grateful for.” Whether you’re telling someone thank you, or writing in a gratitude journal, expressing gratitude has been found to improve sleep and overall well being (Emmons & McCullough, 2003). Read more information about gratitude and how to stay positive during the holiday season.
