why are we doing the gratitude challenge?
The concept of intentionally cultivating positive emotions, like gratitude, has roots in mindfulness philosophy as well as positive psychology. Whenever we practice a positive emotion, like gratitude, we're getting our brain to go down that neural pathway, which makes it easier for the brain to naturally go down that pathway without our conscious effort.
When practicing gratitude, like in our challenge, please don't feel like you need to have something big in order to participate! Practicing gratitude for smaller things, like a good coffee or a cute dog you saw at the studio, counts just as much!
