Live Your Life With Gratitude and Grace: An Integrative-Sustainable Guide To Choosing To Live Well
Gratitude is easier to find in life than we may recognize. We can become trapped in the social expectations and lose our way. It has been proven that we can reduce our symptoms of depression by practicing gratitude in our daily lives. If we take just minutes daily to document our experiences of gratitude, within two months, symptoms of depression will decrease. Grace is a spiritual concept that is recognized worldwide as being blessed or favored and gifted with the ability to endure or resist temptation and to exercise strength or rejuvenate. We may consider grace as linked to empathy for self and others. The world is sorely in need of empathy and a gentler and more compassionate approach to the human experience.
We have more means of communicating than ever before, and yet people are reporting more feelings of isolation and loneliness than ever before. As a result, people are experiencing increased depression, anxiety, and other forms of mental illness. Many rely on medication for relief but remain symptomatic. The answer to this suffering is necessary, and an integrative approach is needed. Taking a proactive stance to heal our pain can help us alleviate and reduce symptoms, but more importantly, we can learn to regulate our emotions, change our lives, and sustain a wellness lifestyle that promotes healthy relationships and choices.
