Managing Stress With Gratitude Handout

Gratitude means acknowledging the positive things, help received, or any form of goodness in one’s life. While gratitude doesn’t take a significant amount of time to practice, it does require being mindful or making a conscious effort. According to a study, grateful kids tend to be happier. The Managing Stress With Gratitude Handout mentions studies on gratitude and stress. For the second part of the handout, clients discover a list of 10 tips to boost their gratitude practice, such as writing down notes and keeping a gratitude jar. Teaching kids and teens about gratitude helps them feel more optimistic and content in different areas of their lives. Consider downloading our My Gratitude Walk Worksheet alongside this handout for them to reflect on the positive aspects of their surroundings and feel more connected to others.
