We all have so much to be grateful for that some of our greatest gifts get overlooked. This month is the perfect time to make the active choice to change our perspectives and focus on the positives instead of the negatives. Doing so will not only benefit our personal physical and psychological health but that of the greater Brockton community as well. Here are some great ways that you can celebrate what you are grateful for in your life, and spread the spirit of gratitude to your friends, family, and neighbors: Make a Gratitude List – write down 5 things that you are grateful for each day, and over the month, you will find it is easier to find positive aspects of your day-to-day life Set a Daily Intention– if you start each day with the goal of expressing gratitude, the more likely you are to live it and embody it in your words and actions. Tell Someone You Appreciate Them – it could be a friend, family member, co-worker, or someone who helps you in a store – simply telling someone that you appreciate them spreads the benefits of gratitude to them and everyone else they meet that day Write Handwritten Thank-You Notes – these are simple yet meaningful ways to give thanks for the people in your life and make a tremendous impact on their day  Volunteer your Time – we all have a cause that we care deeply about, and giving your time and energy to non-profits like Family and Community Resources is a wonderful way to express gratitude to those who are working to improve the lives of those in need in our communities Living in the spirit of gratitude is simple, and something we all should do this month. Hopefully, if we all follow these suggestions, we can create a more gracious and uplifting environment! Comment You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
