·      Improved immune health – gratitude has been linked to optimism, which has shown to strengthen immune systems.

·      Stress management – feeling grateful can help manage stress and decrease the risk of heart disease, cancer and other debilitating conditions.

·      Improved sleep – studies show people who write down what they’re grateful for fall asleep and stay asleep faster.
