-
- different ways to cultivate gratitude,
- the psychological (positive emotions, alert, energetic, enthused and attentive), physical (exercise more, have better sleep and have fewer physical symptoms) and social (compassionate, altruistic) benefits of cultivating gratitude through keeping a gratitude journal,
- how a practice of gratitude can help people sleep better, reduce blood pressure and take care of their own health, and
- educational benefits of students (grade 6 & 7) keeping a gratitude journal.
