Gratitude During the Holiday Season

 

Greetings from the CARES Hub! 

 

As the holidays approach you may be traveling to be with family and friends, engaging in annual holiday traditions, and thinking about all the delicious food you will be consuming!  Despite the busyness of the holidays, we want to encourage you to pause and take time to consider those things in your life, both large and small, for which you are grateful.  

 

In recent years research has demonstrated that practicing gratitude increases happiness and well-being.  By taking time to be mindful and identify gratitude for even the simple things in life, we become happier, more optimistic, and begin retraining our brain to look for things that make us smile and feel good.  Gratitude promotes our well-being! 

 

Tip:  Gratitude can come in the form of life’s simplest pleasures – a cup of perfectly brewed coffee, an enjoyable conversation, a cozy blanket, or a warm hug from a friend or loved one.    

 

Question:  Are you using mindfulness to aid in your expression of gratitude?  What are you grateful for today? 

 

As the fall semester comes to a close, the CARES Hub staff are grateful for the over 2,500 engineering students who have spent time in the CARES Hub with us this semester and for the roughly 1,500 more who have attended our workshops and QPR trainings to both improve their own well-being and to learn how to support the well-being of others.  Well-being is a community effort, and we are grateful for our students who are committed to building an engineering community of well-being and support.  We appreciate you more than you know and look forward to collaborating with you in the semesters to come.
