While gratitude is always in season, there may be no more appropriate time of year than Thanksgiving to take stock of what makes us feel thankful. However, it's not always easy to focus on the positive when the big stuff (read: health, family, work) goes awry.

The great news is, it doesn't take much to reap the benefits of a gratitude practice. In fact, if you think of five to ten things you're grateful for per day for eight weeks, you will actually change your brain patterns and rewire your mind for greater empathy and happiness.
