We’re in the middle of the Thanksgiving holiday season in the United States. And at the root of the modern-day observance of this holiday is gratitude. It’s a time to spend with loved-ones and reflect on the positive things in your life. But gratitude isn’t something you should put back on the shelf once you’ve consumed the holiday meal. In fact, research has shown there are tremendous benefits to exercising gratitude as a lifestyle. The benefits affect your physical, mental, and spiritual health.
