Gratitude has a positive impact on mental well-being. It helps reduce stress, improve mood, and foster resilience. When you practice gratitude, your brain shifts focus from negative to positive thoughts, reducing anxiety and depression.
Start by acknowledging small blessings each day. It could be a kind gesture from a friend or the comfort of a cozy home. Keeping a gratitude journal is particularly helpful. Reflect on what you’re grateful for, especially during challenging times.
The practice can provide perspective and remind you of the good in your life. By consistently practicing gratitude, you nurture yourself to a better mindset and enhance your overall mental health.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
