The science is in — a grateful disposition reduces materialism, risk of burnout and symptoms of depression and makes you happier! Here are three small acts with big impacts to help you practice gratitude daily. 

1 – Handwritten Notes – Write one note a week and keep it positive. Studies show people who write notes are more satisfied with life and show fewer symptoms of depression.

2 – Small Acts of Kindness – Buy a coffee for a co-worker. Hold the door. Get lunch with a friend who is new to the area. Studies show more kindness = more happiness.

3 – Daily Gratitude Check-Ins – Write three things you are grateful for on a sticky note and glance at it regularly. Take daily walks…reflect on what you are grateful for. Studies show that counting your blessings increases well-being.
