Gratitude Works! by Robert Emmons (Heroic Wisdom Daily)

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another Heroic Wisdom Daily. Today's wisdom is from Gratitude Works by Robert Emmons, the world's leading expert on the science of gratitude. Check out our notes on his great books. Dr. Emmons reminds us gratitude is the simplest, most powerful way to transform your life, quote unquote. Practicing gratitude enhances well being, strengthens relationships, and even improves physical health. Here's how to cultivate gratitude today. Number one, keep a gratitude journal. Emmons tells us writing down what you're thankful for strengthens its impact. So write down three things you're grateful for right now. Number two, express gratitude to others. Dr. Emmons tells us gratitude strengthens social bonds, so thank someone today for their kindness or support. And number three, savor small joys. Gratitude turns ordinary moments into extraordinary ones, Dr. Emmons tells us, so take a moment to appreciate something simple, like a meal or a conversation. With all that in mind, what is one way you can practice gratitude today?
