Gratitude shifts our focus from the stress of life to what is positive and possible. In the spirit of Mental Health Awareness Month, here are two tips to help you make that shift.
Keep a gratitude journal. Recording and reflecting on Three Good Things that went well each day is powerful. It interrupts negative thoughts, invites calm, and can help you solve problems, for yourself and others. Dedicate a colorful journal to jot them down and look back on them often.
Volunteer! As a volunteer, you can experience gratitude for being able to help others and by seeing how grateful others are for your help. Scientists know that connecting with others and helping them in this way is good for your mental health.

Looking for Less Mayhem in your Mornings?
You are not alone! May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a great time to rev up your mornings in a healthy way. Stronger than a pot of coffee, here are two tips that are sure to power up your day without draining your battery.
Look ahead!
Packing lunches and laying out clothes the night before can certainly minimize morning stress. Another way to prep for the day is by looking forward to something, such as making a positive difference. Envisioning how to use your talents and skills to help others, both at home and at work, is empowering.
Meditate!
Meditation may appear to be “doing nothing,” but it rewires pathways in your brain to help you focus, feel calm, and be less reactive to stress. Get started with any one of the many available guided meditations.
