This holiday season, discover the amazing healing and transformative powers of noticing, feeling and expressing gratitude.

1. The Power of Gratitude
For a healthy, happy life

2. “We find what we are looking for.
If we are looking for life and love and
openness and growth, we are likely to find
them.
If we are looking for witchcraft and evil, we
will likely find them.”
- Madeleine L’Engle -

3. Gratitude Leads to Health
Study #1: Participants were
asked to write down what
they were grateful for every
day for 10 weeks. At the end
of the 10 weeks, participants
were found to be more
optimistic, more positive
about their lives and reported
visiting the doctor less.
Researchers are revealing the amazing emotional
and physical effects of expressing gratitude.

4. Gratitude Leads to Health

scores after being asked

5. Gratitude in Relationships
Couples who
frequently express
gratitude to each
other feel more
positive about the
relationship and
more comfortable
when expressing
relationship
concerns.

6. Gratitude at Work
Workplaces studies
have shown the
benefits of employers
expressing gratitude
for their employees
too. Employees who
are thanked by their
managers tend to
work harder and
report a greater job
satisfaction.
