The Thankfulness project
Helping Kiwi's have great mental healthiness by practising daily Thankfulness
About Thankfulness
Thankfulness is great for your Mental Healthiness.
When you think about what you do have and what is going well instead of what you don't have and what is going wrong, you will have a happier and more positive day.
Mental Health is important just like physical health and gratitude and thankfulness practiced daily creates better mental healthiness.
We want to see New Zealanders have great mental health and this website and its resources are free to help you do that!

Thankfulness is simple and powerful
The idea of thankfulness is simple: 'What do you have in your life to be thankful for?' The outworking of this can be challenging when you are used to looking at what is not going well!
​
At BeGreat.co.nz we have loaded our website with resources to help you train your brain to focus on the positives and the way we do that is with Thankfulness:
-
Thankfulness teaches the mind to focus on positives training your brain through purposefully looking for the good things around you. Negative thinking is counteracted when people see how good their life really is
-
Thankfulness is simple to understand and apply.
-
Thankfulness has a contagious uplifting effect on those around us.
-
Thankfulness increases contentedness and reduces the need to buy more to be happy
-
Thankfulness makes our neighbourhoods better as we live from a sense of how good our lives are making us more generous.
