Starting a Gratitude Routine is as Easy as 1-2-3

September 21 is World Gratitude Day, and the perfect time to start a new gratitude routine! 

When something so simple has so many amazing health benefits, there is no excuse not to.

Scientists found a one-time act of thoughtful gratitude produced an immediate 10% increase in happiness and a 35% reduction in depression!

Starting a gratitude routine is as easy as 1️⃣-2️⃣-3️⃣! 

1️⃣ time each day, set aside 2️⃣ minutes to reflect. 

Write down 3️⃣ things that went well that day—big or small. Little things that made you smile, like:

• Enjoying a warm cup of coffee.

• A kind word from a friend.

• A moment of quiet calm that made you smile.

Over time, this simple habit trains your brain to notice the good which boosts happiness, reduces stress, and helps you face tomorrow with more resilience. 💖
