Grow with Gratitude

$0.00

Date: Monday, February 2, 2026
Time: Noon

In this class, we explore gratitude as a simple, powerful practice you can give yourself every day to boost wellbeing and resilience. Use this mindful practice of recognizing and appreciating the good in our lives, no matter how small. Take a moment to acknowledge the people, experiences, and even challenges that shape us and help us grow.

Gratitude is a scientifically proven tool that transforms our mental, emotional, and physical health. When we practice gratitude regularly, we're rewiring our brains to focus on abundance rather than lack, connection rather than isolation, and possibility rather than limitation. The effects are powerful. Gratitude reduces stress and anxiety, improves sleep quality, boosts mood, and enhances our overall wellbeing.

For patients and care partners, gratitude can help shift focus from what kidney disease takes away to what still brings meaning, joy, and connection. It encourages us to recognize our resilience, appreciate our support systems, and notice the everyday wins that often go overlooked, whether it's a good lab day, a helpful friend, or the strength to keep going.

By cultivating a grateful heart, we're not only changing our mindset, but we‘re also impacting our entire state of being. We become more resilient, more connected, and more alive. That's the true magic of gratitude: it has the power to heal us from the inside out.
