Growing Gratitude—One Small Choice at a Time
Gratitude isn’t just a feeling for one holiday.
It’s a muscle—and the more we use it, the stronger (and healthier) we become all year long. 💛
✨ Why practice daily?
• Lowers stress hormones by up to 23 %
• Boosts dopamine & serotonin—your natural mood lifters
• Builds resilience when life gets messy (McCraty & Childre, 2004)
Dr. Christopher lived this truth: health is physical and emotional and spiritual. Gratitude nourishes every layer.
Try this mini-practice today:
1️⃣ Breathe slowly for 10 seconds.
2️⃣ Notice one small detail that’s beautiful or true.
3️⃣ Write it down.
Repeat tomorrow. The Gratitude Muscle grows and life shifts.
