An Experiment In Gratitude - Dare You To Try It!

Heather January 1st, 2016

I'd like to share with you all a video that I really love. It's an experiment in gratitude! Check out the video here.

Did you know that gratitude is scientifically proven to increase your levels of warm, fuzzy happiness? 😁 That's why we have exercises in gratitude built into the Growth Path on 7 Cups! Members, you can access your Growth Path here.

It would be really cool if we could try out our own 7 Cups version of the experiment in the video and experience some of the goodness for ourselves. This is my challenge to you!

Here's how you can join in:

βž€ Who is your special person? Think of someone who has had a positive influence in your life. It might be a friend, relative, teacher, health care professional, or even someone on 7 Cups! You can share who it is below in this thread.

➁ What would you say to them? Write them a letter. Again, you can post it here in the forum if you'd like to share. We'd love to see!

βž‚ Do it! If it's possible to do so, send them the letter! You could post it, mail it, or phone them and read it out, just like in the video.

βžƒ Post here to let us know how it goes! What was their response? How did it make you feel?

BE BRAVE - I dare you!

Post below to let me know if you're joining in!

I am grateful for my job. I work in a preschool with 11 3-5 year olds. They are wonderful and show me how to live life to the fullest. They don't know it, but they help show me the beautiful things in life, even on some of my darkest days. I will never be able to thank them for what they have done for me.
