This webinar explores current research on gratitude, including its potential benefits for managing stress, our own wellbeing, and how we experience and respond to the world around us. With the unique experiences and demands of the UC community in mind, this webinar will focus on brief, practical approaches to gratitude that can be incorporated into everyday life.
Whether you’re interested in returning to a gratitude practice you’ve used before, have tried gratitude practices in the past that didn’t quite work for you, or are simply curious about where to begin, this webinar will help you explore different approaches and identify what might be most useful and sustainable for you.
As we head into the winter season, join us for an hour of your workday to step away from the usual demands, learn what the research tells us about gratitude, and experiment with a few ways of putting it into practice.
During this webinar, participants will:
- Learn about current research on gratitude and its potential benefits for well-being
- Explore different approaches to incorporating gratitude into daily life
- Identify common barriers to starting and maintaining a gratitude practice
- Consider how technology, relationships, and the workplace can help support a practice
- Experiment with several brief gratitude practices
- Develop a personalized plan for incorporating gratitude in a way that feels realistic and sustainable
