January 31 Daily Act of Kindness: Thankfulness

Day 31!

Today’s Challenge: Make a list of 10 things you are thankful for and save it.

One of the best ways to be kind to ourselves and others is through gratitude. When we view the world with a perspective of what we have, what is good, and what is right, we are naturally kinder, happier and more generous.

Studies show that people who keep gratitude journals are more optimistic, healthy, and liked. And there are plenty of other positive effects of gratitude. Check out these 31 Benefits of Gratitude and then get started on your list. Write down at least 10 things you are grateful for now. Save the list – or better yet, post it where you can be reminded every day.
