Intro: 30-Days Of Gratitude To Inspire & Uplift You Series

Hi,

This is Teresa Conte.

First of all,

I'm so happy to be here with you,

And thank you so much for joining me for this 30-day series entitled,

30 Days of Gratitude to Inspire and Uplift You,

From my book by the same name.

The inspiration for the project and the series that follows was inspired after listening to an interview with Dr.

Robert Emmons,

A professor of psychology at the University of California,

Davis,

And the world's leading scientific expert on the topic of gratitude.

Each day,

I'll be sharing a quote related to the topic of gratitude,

Followed by a few comments and a gratitude practice called,

A Thought to Ponder.

The series includes topics such as healthy emotions,

A thankful heart,

Kissing the earth,

Appreciation,

Looking for gold,

Loving the world,

Good as a feast,

And fill your heart,

Among others.

Studies show that gratitude improves our sleep,

Strengthens our immune system,

Enhances our relationships,

Increases our social support,

And leads to greater happiness,

Among many other benefits.

My hope is that the quotes,

Comments,

And practices contained within the series will serve to inspire,

Uplift,

And benefit you.

And so,

Let's begin the journey.
