What is the theory behind this Gratitude Mug Worksheet?
Gratitude has the ability to influence not just one’s physical state but mental well-being as well. Studies have shown gratitude to be linked with greater resilience, higher self-esteem, positive relationships, better emotional regulation and enhanced sleep quality among many other indicators of overall wellbeing. Thus it is a vital value to teach kids from a young age to ensure they grow up with a positive outlook towards life. .
