Lockdown 731

Lockdown Day 731-27 March 2022

The first day of year 3 of Lockdown starts out cool with a strong drizzle.

I would like to start this 'year' with enormous gratitude.

According to numerous studies about the health benefits of actively practicing gratitude, it can:

✨Improve sleep quality

✨Improve regulation of emotions

✨Create a positive mood and happy feelings

✨Encourage hope for the future

✨Reduce PTSD symptoms, stress and burnout

✨Increase resilience (meaning: toughness and the capacity to recover from difficulties)

I was completely dumbstruck when I saw these benefits. And a question popped into my mind, " if gratitude is this👆 good for us, why on earth is it so difficult to be (and keep on being) thankful and why on earth don't we practice gratitude actively?"

I shall consider this a while and continue with this in the next post.
