An Experiment In Gratitude - Dare You To Try It!

I'd like to share with you all a video that I really love. It's an experiment in gratitude! Check out the video here.

Did you know that gratitude is scientifically proven to increase your levels of warm, fuzzy happiness? 😁 That's why we have exercises in gratitude built into the Growth Path on 7 Cups! Members, you can access your Growth Path here.

It would be really cool if we could try out our own 7 Cups version of the experiment in the video and experience some of the goodness for ourselves. This is my challenge to you!

Here's how you can join in:

➀ Who is your special person? Think of someone who has had a positive influence in your life. It might be a friend, relative, teacher, health care professional, or even someone on 7 Cups! You can share who it is below in this thread.

➁ What would you say to them? Write them a letter. Again, you can post it here in the forum if you'd like to share. We'd love to see!

➂ Do it! If it's possible to do so, send them the letter! You could post it, mail it, or phone them and read it out, just like in the video.

➃ Post here to let us know how it goes! What was their response? How did it make you feel?

BE BRAVE - I dare you!

Post below to let me know if you're joining in!

@Heather I remember when a few months ago, I sent red roses to my lovely high school teachers. I cannot believe how much they shaped my life, future and who I am today. Thank you for this amazing post Heather. Thank you to all who enters this amazing community :D

I'm grateful for so many things. I'm so lucky to be alive and have these rich feelings, to be able to feel joy, sadness, hope - and share these emotions to others as well.

Grateful for my listeners who have become my friends.

And for people who know when to give me a hug and when to tell me that I have SO much to be grateful for and that I should look around and appreciate. :)

I am grateful that I am still alive. I have BP, and it is not easy to live with

I am grateful for 7cot. You've (everyone) saved me from my darker self. I'm still working hard every day in healing even though I haven't checked in at 7cot for a while. The lessons and help I received are my every day saving grace.
