Yesterday’s Thanksgiving was a day for practicing gratitude, but why stop at just one day a year. Studies show that people who regularly practice gratitude are less likely to procrastinate and more likely to remain focused on priorities, as well as find creative solutions to problems.

Being grateful can be as simple as taking time out of your day to acknowledge what is happening externally and internally, or giving someone a smile. See here how gratitude creates such positive effects and how to implement it in your life.
