7 Surprising Health Benefits of Gratitude | Time - 0 views

  •  
    I liked using this article for my Field Research project because it helped to answer a lot of the "why?" questions I had. For example, I found that gratitude journaling was beneficial for sleep quality and this article explained how gratitude can help us to have better pre-sleep cognitions, which calms the nervous system. It also led me to a lot of other good sources.

One example that it explained was that growing up speaking a tonal language, such as Mandarin, can make people more sensitive to pitch changes and interval differences between notes.
