WHY WRITE A GRATITUDE LETTER?
EVIDENCE BASED
Writing a gratitude letter shifts your perspective to a growth mindset. You see what’s positive and working in your life. You notice the abundance that surrounds you. Studies show it boosts happiness for yourself and those around you.
HERE’S HOW TO DO IT:
Make a list of 5 people that you’re grateful to have or have had in your life. Write one of them a gratitude letter (why you’re appreciative that he/she is in your life). Be specific. Either send it or give them a call. If you cannot share it, share it ceremoniously—burn it or place it in your home meditation space for a while.

Congratulate yourself on doing something WONDERFUL for you and for that person. It's important to fill your well with positive energy.
Gratitude comes naturally for some. But, it’s also a practice that you can consciously cultivate by practicing gratitude activities. Practicing gratitude can be a mindfulness practice too, as you focus your attention on what makes you feel appreciative in life.
In a 2020 study by Duke University researchers. health care workers who wrote only one gratitude letter, experienced improvements in happiness, work-life balance and emotional exhaustion. Many noted that after writing only one letter it became much easier to notice positive things in life.
The happiest people spend time frequently with people they care about and do things that they enjoy daily. To learn more about how "prioritizing positivity" is proven by science to boost happiness, read my blog post here.
