1). Keep a gratitude journal for at least a week. At the end of the week, look back on your entries and reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and the overall experience. Write a paragraph or two (150-200 words) about your experience. While this isn’t formal writing, be sure to review your work for grammar, spelling, and full sentences before you upload it to the assignment folder.
2). Perform a gratitude visit, delivering a thank you note or letter to someone. What was the effect on the person? What were the effects on you? Write a paragraph or two (150-200 words) about your perspective on this. While this isn’t formal writing, be sure to review your work for grammar, spelling, and full sentences before you upload it to the assignment folder.
Memories can also be related to very pleasant and treasured experiences as well. As we continue our special focus on the positive aspects of psychology – what can go right in people – we turn our attention to the notion of gratitude. Gratitude (which shares meanings with the words grace, mercy and thanks) has been described as “the propensity to appreciate and savor everyday events and experiences” (Bryant, 1989). Please view the video https://youtu.be/UtBsl3j0YRQ on the benefits of being grateful and then complete your first entry in the gratitude journal assignment.
