Gratitude Reduces Pain

Happy Thanksgiving!

There’s something you can do starting tomorrow which takes less than 1 minute a day and will help your overall health. Wake up and give gratitude for what you have. It can be as simple as thanking your hands, your feet, your mind, your house, your family, your bed, your dog.

It may be hard when you are feeling pain or other health challenges, but studies show that gratitude is good medicine and can improve sleep, immune function, mood, substance abuse issues and even fat intake. By improving sleep, mood and hormone balance, you can also improve your pains.

Focus on what you have been given. This will be the foundation for what you can create for yourself and for others.
