So when people say they are too blessed to be stressed, they are actually right.

We have plenty of reasons to be stressed. I don’t need to list them all for you here – but I am certain you have a list. And maybe now, our lists seem longer than ever – work, family, external forces and more.

Enter gratitude.

I’ve written and talked about gratitude a lot over the years. Below you will find a link to my collection of articles.

Tweet it out: Being grateful is good for more than your soul – when you are grateful you lower your stress and blood-pressure. You will feel better and be better equipped to succeed for the day. @KevinEikenberry
