National Gratitude Month is November. Research states that people who practice gratitude every day are not only happier but also healthier. So if you were looking for reasons to be thankful during this Thanksgiving season, then these benefits should be just the motivation you need.

National Gratitude Month was an initiative started by Stacey Grewal. With a new branch of research started by Martin Seligman in 1998 on the positive effects of gratitude, Grewal submitted the suggestion in 2015 because she believed gratitude to be an essential ingredient of a happy and fulfilling life. Gratitude has been proven to generate a positive impact on psychological, physical and personal wellbeing. Practicing gratitude or reflecting on what your’re grateful for is an effective way to deal with life’s chaotic, stressful and tense moments (like buying or selling a home). Grateful people tend to sleep better, have lower stress levels, exercise more often and eat healthier. Read more within this article on gratitude.
