Because you shouldn’t only practice gratitude on Thanksgiving—it should be a year-round attitude.
Real Simple is kicking off its #SimplyGrateful Gratitude Challenge on our social media platforms today. Every weekday in November leading up to Thanksgiving, Real Simple will be posting and tweeting tips on how to live a more grateful life—and how to make gratitude a more regular practice. All of the “assignments” will be based on a raft of research showing that people who are grateful for things big and small are healthier and happier. Please join us as we practice cultivating this spirit of gratitude in our daily lives—not just on the one day when turkey is served.
