Living Well, Learning Well

Some benefits of practising gratitude are:

After 21 days, you start to scan the world for positives.
After 42 days you become:
- More optimistic, energised & focused.
- Less likely to get sick.
- You will sleep better.
- Anxiety and depression decreases.

A few quick and simple ways to practise being grateful are:

Journaling; each night write down 3 things that went well for you that day or purchase a gratitude journal with gratitude prompts.
Write a gratitude letter to someone special, telling them why you are grateful they are in your life.
Have a family discussion on the way home from school or around the dinner table about the things that went well that day or made you smile.

You can purchase 21-day, 6-month, and family journals from The Resilience Project website if that is something you’re interested in.
