Episode 4: Gratefulness

Why is it important to be grateful? There are  many benefits of trying to live a life where you appreciate everything, even the smallest things.

  • Improve sleep, improve mood, stronger immune system, decrease anxiety/depression, feel hopeful
  • The more positivity you put out, the more you receive
  • *Watch the movie The Secret*
  • Starting your day with 3 things you are grateful for/proud of/looking forward to to create a positive vibe right in the beginning of your day
    • It could be as simple as: grateful to be alive or as detailed as: I am proud of completing all of my homework the night before so I am prepared for my classes
  • Being more aware of the good things/people in your life. If you’re struggling with this, maybe reevaluate who you let into your life
  • Remember the 3 things you started your day with and/or remind yourself of a positive in your life
  • Call or talk to someone your close with to work through the negative experience
  • Remind yourself that the negative you’re facing is temporary and fixable. Ask yourself what you can do to make it better?
