The Science of Gratitude
Research by Dr. Robert Emmons at UC Davis found that people who regularly practice gratitude experience stronger immune systems, lower blood pressure, more joy, and greater generosity. A 2003 study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology showed that keeping a gratitude journal for just 10 weeks led to significantly higher well-being scores.
