“If a person could do only one thing to increase their health and happiness, expressing gratitude might be it.” Martin Seligman, Positive Psychology Pioneer
Research has proven that people who are Thankful experience:
Better Physical Health
Reduced Feelings of Anxiety and Depression
Better Moods
Less Fatigue
Stronger Relationships
The good news is that, through a regular gratitude practice, you can build your gratitude muscle and rewire your brain to be optimistic and compassionate, making you feel good.
The more you look, the more you can find to be Thankful for. This positivity can extend to those around you, creating a virtuous cycle.
October is World Mental Health Month and we have developed the 30 Day Thankful Challenge to help you build your gratitude muscle.
Research suggests that a simple gratitude intervention can lead to lasting benefits long after the intervention ends.
So what are you waiting for, start your 30 Day Thankful Challenge today.
I totally agree—expressing gratitude really can make a difference! A while back, I started keeping a gratitude journal, and it improved my mood and relationships. Sometimes, I even chatted with strangers on Omegle to share positive experiences or simply thank someone for their time. It’s surprising how uplifting a good conversation, even with someone you just met online, can be. Give it a try if you need a mood boost!
I completely agree that expressing gratitude can make a huge difference in our well-being. Last year, I started writing down three things I was thankful for every morning, and it really improved my mood and helped me handle stress better. On tough days, even playing a light-hearted game like Monkey Mart online with my sister was something I appreciated. Little moments like that can help us stay positive and connected.
This is a great reminder, thank you for sharing! It's so important to focus on gratitude for our mental well-being. Instead of a 30-day challenge, maybe people could try a gratitude journal, writing down three things daily. Friday Night Funkin might even inspire some thankful thoughts!
