Embracing a Grateful Mindset (+ Free Wallpaper Download)

November is National Gratitude Month but it’s a dedicated month to remind you why gratitude could be a consistent practice and experience in your emotional and mental wellness.

Why Gratitude Is Important

It’s scientifically proven that gratitude has stabilizing benefits. For example, Positive Psychology shared, “Researcher Chih-Che Lin (2017) found that even when controlling for personality, a high level of gratitude has a strong positive impact on psychological well-being, self-esteem, and depression. Basically, this means that we can reap the best benefits of gratitude by embodying gratitude and truly living a life of gratitude, a state that we can get to through regular practice and commitment.”

For November, set the intention of being mindful about your energy towards gratitude or lack thereof.
