Be Thankful
Recent studies show that being thankful is beneficial for many aspects of your wellbeing.
Being thankful is simple: just take a few moments each day to think about all the things and people you appreciate in life. This simple step can have a large positive impact on your mood. If you prefer a more practical approach, why not start a gratitude journal! Being thankful is beneficial for both psychological and mental health:
- It can strengthen your immune system, and can improve serotonin and dopamine levels which are important for emotion and stress,
- It helps emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression, by improving quality of sleep and deepening social relationships
