The benefits of practicing gratitude are nearly endless. People who regularly practice gratitude by taking time to notice and reflect upon the things they're thankful for experience more positive emotions, feel more alive, sleep better, express more compassion and kindness, and even have stronger immune systems. Gratitude doesn't need to be reserved only for momentous occasions.

It can be hard with the challenging times that we have been faced with to make practising gratitude a priority. However, we have so many moments that we are grateful for and gratitude is an essential component in supporting our wellbeing and framing our thoughts. We would like you to take the time to notice what makes your family happy, and the moments when you are grateful.

Watch this video for Hugh and Martin’s explanation of the DISMOMENT challenge, and begin noticing those everyday moments and things you have around you. 

“The next time you see something you’re really grateful for, something you’re happy to have… stop. Point to it. Just say “DIS”!”

Thanks
