Did you know... Many scientific studies, including research by renowned psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough, have found that people who consciously focus on gratitude experience greater emotional wellbeing and physical health than those who don’t. In comparison with control groups, those who cultivated a grateful outlook: - Felt better about their lives as a whole - Experienced greater levels of joy and happiness - Felt optimistic about the future - Got sick less often - Exercised more regularly - Had more energy, enthusiasm, determination, and focus - Made greater progress toward achieving important personal goals - Slept better and awoke feeling refreshed - Felt stronger during trying times - Enjoyed closer family ties - Were more likely to help others and offer emotional support - Experienced fewer symptoms of stress Now who wouldnt want that? So why not give your friends and family the gift of sending forth their own gratitude into the universe? Invite them to be a part of this November challenge! :)
