Keep a Gratitude Journal

Did you know the positive emotion of gratitude can lead to overall better health?
It is no secret that stress can encourage illness and is linked to heart disease, cancer and stroke. Learning to manage our stress can be a challenge, but if we live in gratitude our outlook becomes more positive. Positive people manage stress better and tend to take better care of themselves.
What are some things you can do to manage your stress and live in gratitude?
I have found keeping a Gratitude Journal is a wonderful way to keep a reminder of all the small things that go "right" throughout my day. At any point I feel things are not going perfectly and I fall into the negative "black hole", I just sit for 10 min and read through some old entries over a cup of tea and I automatically smile, feel better, and have a fresh outlook on the situation.
An added bonus of keeping my journal is that when I have passed on, my family for generations to come will have a peek into all the things that made my heart smile!

Best in health,
