PRACTICE BEING THANKFUL YEAR ROUND

“With Thanksgiving here, now is the time when many of us pause to reflect on all that we have and give thanks. But research shows there are major benefits to practicing gratitude -- which Robert Emmons, a professor in UC Davis' psychology department and author of Gratitude Works, defines as an ‘awareness of how we are supported and sustained by others, and a desire to give back the good that we have received’ -- throughout the year. It boosts well-being, improves sleep and may even help improve immune system function … Here are four simple ways to work gratitude into your daily life now -- and throughout the year.” [HuffPost]
