If continued over time, they might begin to spontaneously look for things and situations for which to be grateful. Clinical psychology literature has suggested that gratitude is related to a “wide variety of forms of well‐being”(Wood, et al, 2010), whereas “negative attributions” can adversely affect relationships (Wood, et al, 2010) . Several studies have shown that interventions to increase gratitude can impact areas such as overall life satisfaction (Emmons and McCullough, 2013), decreased negative affect (Watkins et al, 2003, Seligman et al. 2005), increased happiness,(Seligman et al. 2005), the ability to provide emotional support to others (Emmons and McCullough, 2013), and decreased worrying (Geraghty et al, 2010) .  \nIdeas: Multiple interventions have been shown to be effective, so choose the one that seems to fit best with your team and your time constraints or alter one of the proposals to suit your needs.  \n1. Gratitude Worksheet – This is a good way to introduce gratitude, and it can be completed in a single session. Have each member of the group complete a worksheet on which he or she answers a list of questions about things for which they are thankful. This might include listing some things or people for which they are grateful. Other questions might include why they are grateful for certain things, such as family or friends. It could also include listing one or more qualities about themselves for which they are grateful. Suggestions and sample worksheets are available on [https://www.therapistaid.com](https://www.therapistaid.com)  \nAnother variation of this is to have each member list 100 (or 50 or 25) things for which they are grateful. To facilitate this list, categories can be used, such as people, experiences, possessions, etc.  \nOther ideas can be found at [https://positivepsychologyprogram.com](https://positivepsychologyprogram.com)  \n2. Write a letter ‐ Have each person in the group write a letter to someone who has had a positive impact on his or her life, but whom he or she feels they have not properly thanked. Examples might be a teacher or mentor, a grandparent. The letter should include specific details about why the person is appreciated and how that person affect the writer’s life. Depending on the group, options might be for each member to share your letter with the group or to send it to the person to whom it was written.  \n3. Seeking Gratitude in Challenges – This can be a group activity or an individual activity. Have each person think of an adverse event that has occurred, and answer questions that require them to look for positive features of the event. Questions might include things, like how they can grow from the event, what they can learn, or what was good about the event. Some  \nexamples of questions that can be used are available at [https://daringtolivefully.com/gratitude‐](https://daringtolivefully.com/gratitude‐)[ ](https://daringtolivefully.com/gratitude‐)exercises  \n4. Passing the Card – In this activity, the group sits in a circle. Each person is given an index card, on which they right the name of the person on their left. They then write some about that person for which they are thankful. The cards are then passed to the right, and each new person adds their comments. Eventually, the card will make its way around the table to the person for whom it is written.  \n5. Gratitude Journal – Select a two‐week period when you will be at home with a stable schedule. Have a journal by your bedside. Each evening write down three positive things that occurred to you from the time you woke up to the time you began writing in your journal. Place a check √ by days that you completed the task and X by days that you forgot.  \n\n| Pick a Starting Date (Ex:May 1st – May 14th) |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| M | T | W | T | F |","cbCaigavt4uhHOq3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigavt4uhHOq3","pdf",337407,"English","# Gratitude Session\n## Background\n## Ideas\n## Activity Options\n### Gratitude Worksheet\n### Write a Letter\n### Seeking Gratitude in Challenges\n### Passing the Card\n### Gratitude Journal\n### Collage","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a Gratitude Session?\",\"answer\":\"The session is designed to encourage participants to think about things and situations they can be grateful for, helping gratitude become more spontaneous over time.\"},{\"question\":\"Which interventions are suggested for increasing gratitude?\",\"answer\":\"The document presents multiple options: a gratitude worksheet, writing a letter, seeking gratitude in challenges, passing a card, keeping a two-week gratitude journal, and creating a gratitude collage.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the gratitude journal activity work?\",\"answer\":\"Participants choose a stable two-week period, write three positive things each evening, and mark completed days with a check and missed days with an X.
