Thanksgiving is Healthy !

How about a stronger immune system, better hormonal balance and emotional " compounded interest". This is what appreciation does for us and the following chart shows that vividly. There is also a simple daily exercise that will help you have a bit of Thanksgiving everyday.


This graph explains  how emotions are reflected in heart rhythms and creating a change in those rhythms can result in quick and substantial changes in whatever emotional state you may be experiencing.
The following is an appreciation exercise which can help us have a little bit of Thanksgiving everyday !

Appreciation Exercise

  • Instructions: Take a few short appreciation breaks during the day. During each break take one or two minutes to breathe deeply through the area of the heart. While doing so, try to hold a sincere feeling of appreciation in your heart area. This can be appreciation for a family member, friend who helped you with something or even a wonderful vacation, etc.
  • Why it works: The exercise of activating a positive feeling like appreciation literally shifts our physiology, helping to balance our heart rhythms and nervous system, and creates more coherence between the heart, brain and rest of the body.

Gratitude is a simple and effective practice and the benefits are real and attainable. Gratitude creates a healthier, happier and more fulfilling state of being for anyone who takes a few moments to feel and reflect on it.
