FREE Gratitude Workshop
Monday 8 August
lunchtime webinar, 12.30pm - 1.30pm
Online
To celebrate the release of their latest book ‘The Ultimate Gratitude Journal’, join Dr Suzanne Henwood and Sarah Carruther for this FREE lunchtime webinar.
Gratitude has been shown to be the most effective way to rewire our brain to be more positive. And, did you know there are many ways of doing gratitude – and some are more effective than others! At its optimum, gratitude connects us to others, changes our heart rhythm and reduces stress, improves immune function, we sleep longer and deeper, we feel more joyful, more compassionate, more generous, more productive at work, it enhances self esteem, resilience and we generally feel more alive.
Our brains have an in-built negativity bias: designed not to make us happy, but to help us survive. But by focusing on what’s wrong, and keeping us safe, it can lead us to feeling stressed, worried, fearful, sad… even though there are lots of positive things going on in our lives. In effect, the brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones.
The Ultimate Gratitude Journal makes developing an effective daily practice easy: making being grateful as natural as breathing.
Sarah and Suzanne have spent 18 months researching the neuroscience and effectiveness of gratitude, to bring together the Ultimate Gratitude Practice, which they have published in their new book.
The Ultimate Gratitude Journal makes developing an effective daily practice that will rewire your brain to be healthier and happier easy: making being grateful as natural as breathing. Being accountable will not only short-circuit negative thought loops, but will help you shift your focus to a positive one, cultivate mindfulness and create a different way of living.
If you have heard about “doing” gratitude, maybe you have even done a simple practice like thinking of three things every day you are grateful for, and you would like to know how to take your gratituding to the next level to see results – then come and join us, for a day you will not forget.
