Wellness Wednesday: Gratitude To-Go

About

Gratitude is defined as the quality of being thankful. As simple as it sounds, gratitude is an unsung hero in the practices that contribute to all of the dimensions of wellness. Gratitude isn’t just a feel-good emotion; it’s a wellness practice that supports mental clarity, emotional balance, and social connection. Research shows that regularly acknowledging what we’re grateful for can: lower stress and anxiety levels, improve sleep and concentration, and strengthen relationships and resilience (Dinz, et al. 2023). At this table, students will be exploring the power of gratitude and reflecting on what they’re thankful for, through completing prompts and learning about the role of gratefulness in holistic wellbeing.
