Gratitude And More : A Downloadable Daily Reflection Practice

There’s growing research that writing a gratitude list every day is beneficial to health and happiness. Gratitude lists can improve overall health, make it easier to create healthy habits and lower your chance of depression. It’s simple, it’s free and it makes a difference. The feel good feeling from writing a gratitude list isn’t an accident. When we express gratitude, our brain responds by lighting up the area that governs dopamine which our brain interprets as a reward chemical.

I know a lot of people who have experimented with writing a gratitude list. While you’re making the time to write a gratitude list, why not take an extra few few minutes to reflect on other aspects of your life? My reflection practice has three parts :

1. Gratitude — Expressing gratitude for the gifts in our lives
2. Centering — Staying in touch with who we are & what is important to us
3. Focus — Consciously deciding where to spend time the next day

I’m sharing my printable daily reflection guide that helps us :

• Build our gratitude, happiness and health
• Keep in touch with our values
• Lead a more fulfilling life
• And get more done every day!

Best of all. This is only a 5 minute commitment every day. I’ve packaged the practice into the Daily Reflection Practice Guide. Instructions are included and there is a printable template to help you write your reflections down each day. Let me know how you get on in the comments.
