Navigating grief and trauma with practical tools and resources

eXamining Your Positives

Why consider examining your positives?

Research has shown that people who consciously focus on gratitude experience greater emotional well-being and physical health than those who don’t. For those grieving, practicing thankfulness can be a challenge because there is an understandable focus on what is missing, instead of what is still present. Examining the positives by focusing on what is still good can strengthen the brain’s positive neural pathways and contribute to overall mental wellness.

How does examining your positives promote healing?

By rewiring the brain for positive emotions

By lifting mood, optimism, and resilience

By counteracting the effects of painful experiences

By increasing levels of energy, determination, persistence, and focus

“It is when you are least thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you.”

~ Oprah Winfrey
