Have an Attitude of Gratitude!

Sunday, November 12, 2023 - 8:00 am to Saturday, November 18, 2023 - 4:30 pm

As the stress of finals approaches, it may seem more difficult to express and practice gratitude. Luckily, gratitude is a character strength that all of us have within us AND we can intentionally work to develop it! In fact, when we regularly practice gratitude, numerous studies suggest, we increase our happiness and train our brains to see the good, even in the midst of the bad.

Here are some tips to help you flex your gratitude strength!  

• Find out where you’re currently at by taking a gratitude quiz such as the one from Greater Good

• Keep a gratitude journal -- check out our gratitude journal; challenge yourself to complete one page per day!  

• Mail a handwritten letter of gratitude to someone special in your life

• Try this 5 minute gratitude mindfulness practice 

• Say three things you’re grateful for in the morning or right before bed

• Discover the power of gratitude by watching Soul Pancake’s “Experiment in Gratitude” video on YouTube

Student Wellness Services offers a variety of opportunities for you to exercise your gratitude strength. Our Wellness Coaches are ready to help you explore what you’re grateful for and help you find ways to increase your gratitude practices! Sign up for a Wellness Coaching session today! We will work with you to develop strategies that work for YOU so you are able to feel the many benefits of gratitude, including lowered stress, better sleep, and stronger relationships.
