The Power of Gratitude: A Simple Practice to Transform Your Mental Health

Nov 10 / Jane Bellis
As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, November invites us to pause and reflect on the things we’re grateful for. While gratitude is often associated with Thanksgiving in the USA, it’s so much more than a holiday tradition – it’s a powerful tool for improving mental health and overall well-being.

At Mojo School, gratitude is one of the key practices we weave into our courses and community. It’s a cornerstone of the Medicine Wheel framework, helping us balance our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health. But why is gratitude so impactful, and how can you incorporate it into your daily life?

Why Gratitude Matters for Mental Health

Research in neuroscience shows that practicing gratitude can:

 Reduce stress and anxiety by shifting focus from challenges to blessings.
 Strengthen relationships by fostering feelings of connection and appreciation.
 Rewire your brain to focus on the positive, enhancing overall happiness.

In fact, gratitude isn’t just a feeling – it’s a skill you can cultivate. Like any skill, the more you practice, the stronger it becomes.

3 Simple Gratitude Practices to Try Today

1

Start a Gratitude Journal

Before bed, write down three things you’re grateful for. They can be big or small – from a kind word from a friend to the beauty of a sunset. This nightly ritual helps you end the day on a positive note.
2

Express your Thanks

Take time to thank someone who has made a difference in your life. You can write a heartfelt letter, send a quick message, or simply say it face-to-face. Expressing gratitude strengthens bonds and uplifts both you and the recipient.
3

Create a Gratitude Jar
Place a jar in your home and fill it with notes of gratitude throughout the month. Encourage your family or friends to join in. At the end of November, read the notes together and celebrate the abundance in your lives.
