7 Ways to Show Gratitude for Good Health

Dec 4, 2024

Expressing gratitude for good health can have a profound impact on mental and physical well-being. Gratitude encourages mindfulness, reduces stress, and fosters a positive outlook. Here are some ways to express gratitude for good health:

1. Gratitude Journal

  • Daily Reflections: Write down three things you’re grateful for related to your health. It could be simple things like the ability to walk, breathe easily, or enjoy a meal without discomfort.
  • Example: “I am grateful for the strength in my body that allows me to move freely, for the restful sleep I enjoyed last night, and for my immune system that keeps me healthy.”

2. Mindful Meditation

  • During meditation, focus on different parts of your body and express gratitude for their function. Acknowledge the work your heart, lungs, muscles, and organs do daily.
  • Example: “Thank you, heart, for beating steadily and providing life to my entire body. I am grateful for my lungs that fill with air and allow me to breathe deeply.”

3. Express Thanks After Exercise

  • After a workout, take a moment to appreciate what your body has done for you. Whether it’s a walk, yoga, or lifting weights, reflect on the physical strength and mobility you have.
  • Example: “I am grateful for my legs that carried me through this workout, for my stamina, and for the energy I feel after moving my body.”

4. Gratitude in Nature

  • If you’re outside in nature, acknowledge how your senses work together to help you experience the world. Express gratitude for your sight, hearing, smell, and movement.
  • Example: “I am grateful for my eyes that allow me to see the beauty of the trees, for my ears that hear the sounds of nature, and for my ability to walk through this peaceful space.”

5. Thank Your Body for Healing

  • If you’ve recovered from an illness or injury, take a moment to appreciate your body’s resilience and ability to heal.
  • Example: “I am deeply thankful for my body’s natural ability to heal and recover. I appreciate how it restores itself with time and care.”

6. Verbal Affirmations

  • Speak aloud or silently to yourself, expressing appreciation for the health you enjoy. This could be part of your morning or evening routine.
  • Example: “I am grateful for my vibrant health and the energy that flows through my body every day.”

7. Share Gratitude with Others

  • Express gratitude for the health and well-being of your loved ones. Acknowledge their support and how their presence enhances your own health.
  • Example: “I’m so thankful that we are all in good health, and I appreciate the moments we share together, which uplift my spirit.”

Expressing gratitude for health regularly helps create a deeper connection with your body, fostering an appreciation for the strength and resilience it provides.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Carla Alpert, and I’m a Board Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Diagnostic Practitioner, focusing on the gut and how it affects your overall health. Think of me as a health detective and wellness coach working in partnership with you to restore your health. We work together to uncover the contributing factors to your chronic symptoms, to eat well, sleep well, move more and stress less.

I love the GI MAP test because it helps my clients and I discover gut dysfunction that may be contributing to daily digestive issues as well as other chronic symptoms like anxiety, fatigue and brain fog. I created this GI MAP Coaching Package to help you stop struggling with your health and get back to living your best life.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
LISA

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.
