Daily Happy Episode 5: Expressing Gratitude

Suzanna

Listen, gratitude isn’t just for Thanksgiving or awkward family dinners anymore. Science says it's like giving your brain a VIP spa day—and it’s free. Here’s what a little “thank you” energy can do:


  • Increase happiness – Gratitude is like Botox for your soul—except cheaper and less stabby.


  • Reduce stress – You can't spiral when you’re busy screaming “THANK YOU, UNIVERSE” into your coffee mug.


  • Improve relationships – Saying thanks makes people like you more. Bribery with words? Don’t mind if we do.


  • Support physical health – Apparently gratitude can lower blood pressure. So yes, gratitude = less need for margaritas as stress relief (still gonna have one, though).


  • Promote self-awareness – Gratitude brings you into the present moment... and keeps you from texting your ex. Win-win!
