People with high levels of vitality tend to have some of the same traits that highly grateful people do, like high levels of optimism and life satisfaction. Keep a gratitude journal and add to it everyday, tell someone you love and appreciate them, notice the beauty of nature every day, nature the friendships you have because good friends don’t come along every day, smile often, and watch inspiring videos that will remind you of the good in the world. I encourage you to journal what you are grateful for once a day this month. It is so important to be grateful, as a spirit of appreciation promotes optimism and helps us develop a more positive outlook. Listed is my 30 day challenge that I encourage you to participate in:
