Part I: Gratitude is a positive emotional state in which one recognizes and appreciates what one has received in life. Research shows that taking time to experience gratitude can make you happier and even healthier. For the next five days, you will take 5-10 minutes each night to write down five things for which you are grateful. They can be little things or big things. But you really have to focus on them and actually write them down (Again, try to develop a tracking method works for you and utilize a note on your phone, a daily calendar, a special notebook, etc). You should write in detail why you have the gratitude for xyz. As you write these things down, take a moment to be mindful of the things youre writing about (e.g., imagine the person or thing youre writing about, etc.). This exercise should take at least five minutes. Do this each night for the whole week. Please upload 5-days gratitude journal as one file. Part II: Research suggests gratitude will have a big impact on your happiness and that of another person. For this assignment, think of one living person who has made a big difference in your life, but whom you never properly thanked. Then write a heartfelt letter to that person explaining how he or she has touched your life and why he or she is meaningful to you. Your letter can be as long as you want, but try to make it at least 200 words. Then you may deliver that letter to the person in person or via an email. You could read the letter to him or her over the phone, Facetime or Zoom, but for an extra huge happiness boost, we recommend scheduling a time to visit this person in person or virtually to share your letter. However you meet up, you should read the letter aloud. You may also read the letter in class if you wish. We also recommend that you both have some tissues handy for this one. A gratitude letter is one of the most powerful tool for increasing happiness because it can forge social bonds and really change someones life. For the purpose of the assignment, please upload the summary of your gratitude letter/visit experience in detail without over sharing personal information which may make you feel uncomfortable. You may also upload the letter with the summary if you would like to share with us.
