Saturday, March 6, 2021 - 9:00 AM PST/10:00 AM MST

 

Resilience is our ability to bounce back from tough, even devastating, difficulties. But for us to remain positive, set our intentions, and light the path for ourselves, we must start with practicing gratitude.

 

While many may view the act of giving thanks as an outward expression that primarily touches others, research has found that gratitude also leads to personal resilience. Join us in this webinar to understand why gratitude is at the heart of whole-person health!

 

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• How to enhance personal resilience by practicing gratitude

• Why gratitude leads to a greater sense of connectedness

• Simple yet purposeful acts for applying gratitude in your life
