November - Practicing being Grateful!


Those that take time to be grateful are proven to be happier and healthier. But just saying “Thank you” is not the only practice of Gratitude. Welcoming opportunities of adversity as a motivator to smooth out your growth edges or reflect on areas needing strength is a moment of practicing Gratitude. Stopping and slowing down your moment to fully engage in the present time is a practice of Gratitude.
Students that develop the skills needed to practice Gratitude regularly are more successful in school, manage emotions in a healthier way, have less conflict and more positive problem solving skills, and are genuinely happier and more resilient.
This November I would like to encourage you to share your Gratitude. Consider online journaling, using a Gratitude journal, practicing mindfulness or any other number of Gratitude practices that you can incorporate into your daily life. Provide the footprint that your children need to follow as you walk the path of Gratitude.  
"Thousands of years of literature talk about the benefits of cultivating gratefulness as a virtue," says University of California Davis psychology professor Robert Emmons. Throughout history, philosophers and religious leaders have extolled gratitude as a virtue integral to health and well-being. Now, through a recent movement called positive psychology, mental health professionals are taking a close look at how virtues such as gratitude can benefit our health. And they're reaping some promising results.
Benefits of Gratitude
Grateful people -- those who perceive gratitude as a permanent trait rather than a temporary state of mind -- have an edge on the not-so-grateful when it comes to health, according to Emmons' research on gratitude. "Grateful people take better care of themselves and engage in more protective health behaviors like regular exercise, a healthy diet, regular physical examinations," Emmons tells WebMD.

  1. I was born epileptic, but I am now free and cured with Dr Itua Herbal Made Medicine. I was seventeen and sitting at my computer when I fell out of my chair. Only thing I remember is waking up with the worse headache I had ever had in my life. I had never taken medication and I hated swallowing pills but I had to start. I switched between all kinds of medication because I didn't take them like I was supposed to. One day I had just finished running errands and was at my sisters house when I fell to the floor again. I woke up with a bad headache and my 2 year old Niece leaning over my leg asking me if I was OK. By then I had just started college and was one the verge of losing my license.
