March is for gratitude / mars, le mois de la gratitude

Gratitude allows us to notice the many blessings we have and distracts us from the many misfortunes that we face. Mindfulness helps us react to our misfortunes with grace, acceptance, and meditation. Together these two practices nurture the happier self within us. What are three things you’re grateful for today? There’s a lot of research on gratitude journaling, some of it is mixed on extent of the benefits it can have on well-being. What we do know, however, is that it certainly doesn’t hurt us. One of the ways to impact your well-being—and cultivate a positive mindset—is to try to think of new things to be grateful for. You do not need to engage in this activity every day, but even doing this activity every couple of days will greatly help you maintain positivity.

La gratitude nous permet de remarquer les nombreux aspect positif dans nos vies, que nous avons et nous distrait des nombreux malheurs auxquels nous sommes confrontés. La pleine conscience nous aide à réagir à nos malheurs avec grâce, acceptation et méditation. 
Ensemble, ces deux pratiques nourrissent l’idée d’un moi plus heureux. Quelles sont les trois choses pour lesquelles vous êtes reconnaissant aujourd'hui? Il existe de nombreuses recherches sur la prise de note et l'écriture d'un journal qui énumère les choses pour laquelles nous disons merci. Ce que nous savons, c’est que cela ne nous fait certainement pas de mal. Une des façons d’avoir un impact sur votre bien-être et de cultiver un état d’esprit positif est d’essayer de penser à de nouvelles choses pour lesquelles nous vous sommes reconnaissants. Vous n'avez pas besoin de vous engager dans cette activité tous les jours, mais le faire même tous les deux jours vous aidera grandement à rester positif.
