Where:
- Cascade Tower 4th Floor Glacier Lounge & CDR

- Terraces 5th floor credenza near exercise room
Note from our chaplain:
Mayo Clinic psychologist Matthew Schumann reminds us that expressing gratitude is brings a host of mental and physical benefits: feeling thankful can
– improve sleep,
– elevate mood and
– support immunity.
– decrease depression, anxiety, chronic pain, risk of disease.
That said, our brains are designed to problem-solve rather than appreciate. To create a habit of gratitude and to reap the benefits, we must intentionally override this focus on problem.
Your Fitness and Wellness Committee is here to help! We invite you to outward expressions of gratitude during the week of November 12-19. You will find blank apples and leaves and pens near a Gratitude Tree in three Skyline locations: Cascade Tower on 4th floor Glacier Lounge, Olympic Tower lobby, and Terraces 5th floor credenza near the Exercise Room. Please write what it is for which you are grateful and hang it on the tree. Geez, go ahead and write several! Then share your thoughts in conversation and ponder the buoyant neurological effect of giving thanks.
