5 things you are thankful for

Thanks so much for the comments about taking care of ourselves! I thought I would leave a post about something I heard about on a TV show. If you write down 5 things you are thankful for every morning, it can start to change the chemistry of your brain! I heard this on a public television show about brain information! He said that it is the one thing that seemed to be effective for everybody. Some of his depressed patients actually got over this depression by doing this exercise. I think it just keeps reality in check! And doing things for others can be a good way of feeling good about yourself!

  1. That is fantastic news to hear! I am always telling people that starting to think positively can change how you look at situations. I'm glad to see that science is supporting what my mantra for years has been. Especially in a season with less sunlight and warmth, it is crucial to find ways to stay positive.
