Days of Gratitude 22

Every day for the month of November I will post something for which I am grateful. I invite you to join me in this exercise privately or by leaving a comment to share with others. Please share this blog with others and invite them to share this month long practice.

When we live from a place of gratitude within, our energy and being shift, neurobiologists believe it actually rewires the brain.  Gratitude regulates the sympathetic nervous system, where our anxiety response is activated. By living from a place of gratitude we strengthen the mind/body connection and it causes a physiological response. .  Gratitude can help relieve stress and pain, improve health over time and lighten depression.

In short, practicing gratitude can make us kinder more peaceful people.

Today I am grateful for the five senses. Taste, touch, hearing, sight and smell bring richness to our lives in myriad ways.

What are you grateful for today?
