In our coaching community, we are learning that having an attitude of gratitude is key to better health. In fact, research shows that gratitude helps create better relationships, improves physical health, increases joy, helps us sleep better, boosts self-esteem and builds mental resilience. Dr. Caroline Leaf tells us more about how to have an attitude of gratitude.
“We all know it is good to stop and smell the roses every once in a while—to pause and realize how much we have to be grateful for. But did you know that gratitude is essential to success? If you can’t appreciate what you have to be thankful for right now, it is harder to achieve what you desire in the future.

The right food is the armor we need to fight the process and take back our health. Get started with these tips from Experience Life and begin to see your body heal!
1. Get Friendly With Fish
Fish overflows with two key omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (EPA and DHA for short). Both are potent anti-inflammatories. Studies show that people who eat fish regularly are less likely to die from a heart attack or stroke, or develop Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, studies have shown that eating omega-3-rich fish just once a week may lower a person’s risk of...

If you want to get healthy, you may not need to go to a doctor. You might instead, dive into a community of like-minded individuals and watch your health soar! The power of community to create health is far greater than any physician, clinic or hospital.
According to Dr. Mark Hyman, “You are more likely to be overweight if your friend’s, friend’s friend is overweight than if your parents are overweight. Your social networks may matter more than your genetic networks. If your friends have healthy habits you are more likely to as well. So, get healthy friends!”

Treating other people well is a great rule to live by. But did you know it’s also good for your health, vitality and growing resilience?
Psychology researcher Barbara Fredrickson, PhD, author of Love 2.0: Creating Happiness and Health in Moments of Connection, studies how “micro-moments” of connection with others, like sharing a smile or expressing concern, improve emotional resilience, boost the immune system, and reduce susceptibility to depression and anxiety.
In Fredrickson’s view, we need affirmative human connection in much the same way that our bodies need wholesome food. “Moments of uplifting positive emotions function like nutrients for creativity, growth, and health,” she says.
