The Gratitude Breakfast Club - 7-Day Challenge - Day 5

"And you can feel lonely even if you have a lot of people around you, because loneliness is about the quality of your connections." - Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General There's an epidemic of loneliness in the United States, according to a report issued by the U.S. Surgeon General, and nearly 25% of people worldwide feel lonely, according to a Meta-Gallup survey. The impacts on health - including increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and of developing dementia in older adults - are devastating. So, today, let's take a moment to focus on appreciating the connections we do have. After this savoring, perhaps we'll have the motivation and energy to cultivate even more. As always, I encourage writing these appreciations down to reap the most benefit. The Gratitude Breakfast Club 7-day challenge is a quick podcast-style challenge to help you jump-start or deepen your gratitude practice. Let's keep going with Day 5!
