Are you mildly stressed? On Quarantine Lite™️? Tired of people giving you advice on social media? ME TOO! I did some nerd-digging and found 30+ scientific studies with ONE, EASY mental health strategy that, drumroll plz... Improved study subject's: happiness. life satisfaction. mood. ability to sleep. interest in exercise. well-being. AND reduced symptoms of anxiety + depression?! Oh and it’s FREE, and anyone of any ability can do it. Also—I do a very weird thing in a car. Listen to find out what both (the science thing and the weird thing) are. ? ____________________________________ EPISODE 22 SHOW NOTES ***Join our FREE, social-off-social-media "How to Like Being Alive" club / slack group HERE.*** A few studies I directly reference in this episode: Efficacy of an internet and app-based gratitude intervention in reducing repetitive negative thinking and mechanisms of change in the intervention's effect on anxiety and depression: Results from a randomized controlled trial The effect of positive psychology interventions on well-being and distress in clinical samples with psychiatric or somatic disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis Effects of gratitude meditation on neural network functional connectivity and brain-heart coupling Positive Psychology and Gratitude Interventions: A Randomized Clinical Trial Gratitude & Well Being: the benefits of appreciation ____________________________________ So…Call me when you get this?
