Gratitude is good for you, but we know it can sometimes be challenging too. Leah discusses the wide variety of responses from our community to a survey asking, “Do you practice gratitude? If so, how?" Then, we look at the science, which shows exactly what improves by practicing gratitude. Spoiler: Some studies have proven measurable physical benefits, including living longer (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11223047/) ! So, thank you for reading this far. Now, please hit that play button!
