Students learn to tap, express gratitude by writing letters
By CARL E. FEATHER - Lifestyle Editor - cfeather@starbeacon.com Star Beacon
There was an unexpected benefit from the exercise. Toepfer says students reported positive responses from recipients and an overall improvement in their relationships. The benefits of writing letters of gratitude were so great, 75 percent of the students said they planned to continue the practice after the course ended.
Toepfer would like to continue the research with a larger study group and, eventually, have his findings published in a journal. In the meantime, the lesson can be applied this Thanksgiving or any other day of the year: If you’re not feeling grateful, perhaps you need to prime the pump with a letter or two.
“We are all walking around with an amazing resource: gratitude,” says Toepfer. “It helps us express and enjoy, appreciate, be thankful and satisfied with little effort. We all have it, and we need to use it to improve our quality of life.”
