Gratitude = Greater Happiness.

Gratitude goes a long way to boosting happiness. A daily gratitude practice can have a big impact on our well-being.

When we’re grateful, it increases our serotonin levels which produces dopamine - the pleasure chemical for our brain. 🧠 Positive, grateful thoughts result in us feeling healthier and happier. 😀

With Canadian Thanksgiving🍂 around the corner, it’s a time of year to think about what we’re thankful for. Creating a daily gratitude practice can make a positive impact on our health and happiness.

At dinner every night, our family talks about what we’re grateful for. Themes typically revolve around the little things:

⚕️Health

💗Family and friends

🏡Basic needs being met

Today I'm grateful for

🚶🏽‍♀️Not having pain in my body (I suffered from chronic back and hip pain for years)

🍲 Eating dinner together as a family every night

🍂 Warm sunshine highlighting the stunning fall colours

It's the little things that count.
