Today's Daily Challenge - A Gratitude Walk

Every morning I receive a Daily Challenge in my inbox.  For more information, visit  https://challenge.meyouhealth.com.

My follow-through is inconsistent at best, but I stay signed up for gems like this one, which I took straight from the e-mail this morning.

Take a 5-minute gratitude walk: Stroll outside or in your home and note what you're thankful for.

How to do itSet aside a minimum of five minutes for taking a walk outdoors or in your home or workplace. As you walk, spend the time focusing on the things you see that you feel grateful for. Perhaps you're grateful for the beautiful flowers growing in a nearby park, a refrigerator full of food in your home, or a kind neighbor on your street. Maybe you feel grateful for a clean, safe place to work or a helpful colleague. Try to stay in the moment and concentrate on your feelings of gratitude until the walk is over.
 
Why it matters
We tend to see the same things day after day, taking people and objects in our lives for granted. But when we stop and really study everything around us, we often recognize that there is a lot to be grateful for. Taking a gratitude walk in your everyday environment can give you a lasting emotional health boost.
