Wellness Tip of the Week

Gratitude for mental wellness

Taking time to count your blessings can have positive effects on your mental health. Gratitude practices have been linked to lowered stress levels and better sleep. They can also improve interpersonal relationships, which in the long run, these social connections are valuable to our mental health. Many people choose to use a gratitude journal to write about the things in their life they are thankful for. Sometimes writing about the deep and meaningful people or events in your life makes you feel good while other times it is as simple as being thankful for the sunshine. There is no proven magical number for how much journaling will help, but too much of anything is not a good thing. Being thankful and counting your blessings is not just for November, so jot a small memo down the next time you feel thankful and want to express gratitude.
