Gratitude Journaling 📖✏️
•
This is an integral part of my morning routine to get my mind in the right place to have a happy and successful day! 🌄 🧠
•
Following my meditation practice, I begin journaling and one of the most essential aspects to my morning journaling is graditude. 📓🙏
•
I write down 5 things I'm grateful for, avoiding repetition and thinking beyond the norm. ✏️
•
Gratitude has been shown in clinical studies to: •
- Release oxytocin (feel good hormone, also  referred to as the 'love hormone') ♥️
- Lower blood pressure 👇🏼
- Increase longevity 👴🏽👵🏻
- Improve mood/happiness (through release of seratonin and dopeamine) 😄
- Decrease inflammation 👇🏼
- Promote better sleep 😴
- and much more! 😀
•
This simple exercise has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress! 🙌🏽
•
Good mental health is the underlying foundation to physical health. 🧠💪🏼
•
Mindfully practicing graditude is nothing short of miraculous. It's free, easy to do, and incredibly beneficial on so many levels! 📖✏️🙏
