Gratitude

This week’s presentation from The Resilience Project focuses on Gratitude. 

Gratitude is paying attention to the things that we have right now, and not worrying about what we don’t have. We practise this by noticing the positives that exist around us.

Research shows that practicing gratitude rewires our brains to overcome the negativity bias (which can lead to anxiety and depression) and see the world for what we are thankful for. It is also shown to broaden thinking, and increase physical health through improved sleep and attitude to exercise.

Hugh shares a personal story that highlights the importance of paying attention to what we’ve got. He suggests writing a gratitude letter to someone and shares the positive effects this will have on your mental wellbeing.

There are many ways in which you can practise gratitude, for some ideas visit TRP@Home.
