Live a Hopeful, Zesty, Grateful, Loving, Curious Life

Posted on by

For Thanksgiving, I wrote an article over at Inner Fire about the health benefits of gratitude. While sifting through research on gratitude interventions, I came across quote that felt surprisingly inspiring and uplifting for a matter-of-fact academic article. It didn’t fit into the Inner Fire Article, so I wanted to share it here:

Consistently and robustly associated with life satisfaction were hope, zest, gratitude, love, and curiosity. [1]

A hopeful, zesty, grateful, loving, curious life—yes please! Here are some tips on cultivating some of these qualities:

Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. -Claude T Bissell

What are your New Years Resolutions?

Every great achievement was once considered impossible

Every great achievement was once considered impossible

What will you manifest this year? What will you do this month to bring you a little closer to that manifestation? What will you do this week? What will you do today? What about in the next hour? What will you do in this moment?

Many goals are not achieved by a one-time action or commitment. They are achieved by transforming our day-to-day, moment-to-moment habits and patterns.
