The Ultimate Gratitude Practice
Tuesday 4 April
9.30am - 1pm
Online
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.
Sarah and Suzanne have spent 18 months researching gratitude, to bring together the Ultimate Gratitude Practice, which they have published in their new book – and they will be sharing with you in this practical, interactive workshop. They will share with you the key components of an effective gratitude practice, how to use your multiple intelligences to amplify the results and how to weave in stories to take the outcome to a whole new level.
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.

Learning Outcomes
- To learn the research behind Gratitude and how it rewires the brain
- To Understand the key components of an effective gratitude practice
- To explore the latest cutting edge recommendations that amplify the results from gratituding
- To create your own Gratitude Practice to continue beyond the workshop
Suzanne and Sarah have published their latest book ‘The Ultimate Gratitude Journal’ (the forward of which was written by Professor Paul Gilbert, OBE).
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.
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.
