What Does the Research Tell Us About the Benefits of Gratitude? (Heather Craig, Ep 163)

<p>Heather Craig wrote a fantastic article about the research behind the benefits of gratitude, and I invited her to discuss this research on the podcast. What I didn’t know is that Heather has a deeply personal gratitude practice and an incredible story of her own battle with anorexia nervosa. <strong>Content warning</strong> – as Heather bravely shares her story and how she almost took her own life. Heather used many gratitude tools, as well as keeping a Happiness Diary (Gretchen Rubin) as part of her recovery. Heather Craig, BPsySc. (Hons), is a provisional psychologist, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria. Her current research projects investigate the relationship between optimism and health outcomes in older Australian adults. <a href= "https://positivepsychology.com/gratitude-research/">https://positivepsychology.com/gratitude-research/</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-craig-18343776/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-craig-18343776/</a></p> <p>Gretchen Rubin - <a href= "https://gretchenrubin.com/books/the-happiness-project/about-the-book/"> https://gretchenrubin.com/books/the-happiness-project/about-the-book/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Free Gratitude Meditation download: <a href= "http://bit.ly/GratitudeLoveLetter">http://bit.ly/GratitudeLoveLetter</a></p> <p>Visit my shop: <a href= "https://wakeupwithgratitude.com/">https://wakeupwithgratitude.com/</a></p> <p>Check out the podcast: <a href= "https://wakeupwithgratitude.com/pages/podcast">https://wakeupwithgratitude.com/pages/podcast</a></p> <p>Post-production Audio by Paul Tedeschini</p> <p><a href= "https://campsite.bio/juliecmboyer">https://campsite.bio/juliecmboyer</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@wakeupwithgratitude">https://www.tiktok.com/@wakeupwithgratitude</a></p>
