One moment to stretch your arms and flex your muscles.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to imagine that giving yourself just one minute each day could make that much of a difference, but studies show otherwise.

Yes, a full 60 seconds. Use the timer on your phone. For one minute name every single thing that pops into your mind from today that you are grateful for. Waking up. Breakfast. Coffee. Finding a good parking spot. The wag of your dog\u2019s tail. A greeting from a neighbor or co-worker. Rain. Sun. Comfortable shoes. Another season of your favorite show. The list can go on for well over that one minute!<\/p>\n<p>Want to take another minute? Follow along with Registered Nurse Marcy B.
