How Gratitude Beats Materialism

Post by Welles »

New studies reveal how to deliberately cultivate gratitude in ways that counter materialism and its negative effects. I love it when 'science' starts recognizing spiritual reality.  :sunflower:

Isn't that good! I love one of the ideas in the article... a gratitude journal...
Perhaps the most widely tested of these is the “gratitude journal,” in which people write down five things for which they’re grateful. In some studies, they journal on their own every day for two weeks; in others, they write only once a week for six weeks or longer.

I am going to do this...every day...five things... My journal will be in my computer I think, though, as we have notebooks journals etc... already filling up the house. :D
Thanks Welles! :bana:
